SEQUENCES

A different experience
every time they scan.

An ordered list of actions that a tag walks through one step at a time. Each scan advances to the next step. Choose how it behaves at the end — loop back, stop, randomize, or start over.

The Problem
A tag can only show one thing.
You have a five-step onboarding journey, a multi-week training program, or a loyalty punch card — but a QR code always shows the same page. You can't drip content. You can't track progress. Every scan is the same dead end.
The Tapped Way
Every scan reveals the next chapter.
Sequences turn a single tag into a multi-step journey. Each scan advances to the next action in your list. Track progress globally or per device. Control the pace so scanners can't binge through your content in 30 seconds.
How It Works

Build once. Every scan tells the next part of the story.

Create a sequence in your dashboard by adding actions in order. Assign it to a tag or group. When someone scans, Tapped serves the current step and automatically advances the pointer for the next scan.

  • Add any action type as a step — URL, HTML, vCard, form, rich text
  • Drag and drop to reorder steps at any time
  • Reset the sequence position from the dashboard
  • Assign to individual tags or entire groups
  • Collapse/expand step details for long sequences

Choose how the journey ends.

Every sequence has a mode that controls what happens after the last step. Pick the one that fits your use case.

arrow_downward

Linear

Walk through each step in order. After the last step, every future scan stays on the final action.

Best for: Product onboarding that ends with a loyalty page. Step 1-2-3-4... then 4 forever.
loop

Loop

After the last step, wrap back to step 1 and start over. The sequence repeats indefinitely.

Best for: Rotating promotions — scan 1 shows Offer A, scan 2 shows Offer B, scan 3 shows Offer C, scan 4 back to A.
block

One-Shot

Walk through each step once. After the last step, future scans fall back to the tag's individual action automatically.

Best for: Onboarding drips and temporary campaigns. After the sequence plays out, the tag seamlessly transitions to its permanent action.
shuffle

Random

Ignore step order entirely. Each scan randomly picks one of the actions in the sequence.

Best for: Surprise content — tips of the day, random recipes, daily quotes. Every scan is a different discovery.
Per-Device Tracking

Every phone gets its own journey.

By default, sequences track progress globally — all scanners share the same position. Enable per-device tracking and each phone maintains its own independent progress through the sequence. Person A sees step 3 while person B sees step 1 — from the same physical tag.

  • Global mode: all scanners share one pointer (default)
  • Per-device mode: each phone tracked independently via fingerprint
  • Toggle between modes at any time from the sequence editor
  • Essential tier and above

Pace Control New

Drip content over days, not seconds.

Without pace control, a curious scanner can blow through your entire 10-step sequence in 30 seconds. Pace control throttles how quickly a device can advance — one step per day, per week, or on any cadence you set. Extra scans within the window stay on the current step.

  • Set max advances per device within a time window
  • Window options: per day, per week, per 24h, per 7 days
  • Extra scans within the throttle window serve the current step (not an error)
  • Requires per-device tracking to be enabled
  • Professional tier

Published Sequences

Publish once. Every subscriber stays in sync.

Publish a sequence and other users can subscribe their tags to it. When you update the published sequence, every subscribed tag automatically reflects the change. Perfect for brands, franchises, and multi-location deployments where consistency matters.

  • One-click publish from any private sequence
  • Other users subscribe their tags to your sequence
  • Updates propagate automatically to all subscribers
  • Shared sequences take priority in scan resolution — highest priority after scan limits
  • Essential tier and above
