"I scanned the QR code on the flyer, the bot doesn't suggest any link." "The AI invents a URL that still leads to a 404." "My packaging QR leads to an expired offer with no alternative." Three failures where a poorly calibrated QR print bot leaves the customer without a current_url.
An e-commerce expired printed QR AI chatbot does not replace QRPRINT agents (#963). It reads QRPRINT-MAP, detects expired 404 URLs, cites current_url current_offer map, and hands off visible print ops to humans.
This guide #964 covers bot_qrprint_* intents, QRPRINTBOT flow QPB-1 to QPB-8, and qrprint_bot KPIs. Bot pair of the QRPRINT playbook (#963). Usecase: linking expired print QR scans with current tier 1 offers.
Summary
Why botify expired printed QR codes?
The customer scans a QR flyer or packaging before an agent ticket. Without a QR print registry, the bot invents a link or refuses without current_url. QR-REGISTRY-GATE aligns widget and agents #963.
What the bot solves tier 1
Detect expired QR: original_qr_url expiry map grounded
Current alternative: current_url current_offer cite
404 Landing: deleted page redirect to current_url
Active promo code: promo_code_active if offer is still valid
Live print reporting: ops flag if POS display is still visible
The bot intercepts bot_qrprint_expired_detect before an agent dead end or an invented link outside the map.
DTC retail example
Beauty DTC retail, QR flyers + packaging, 9 qrprint_/month tickets. Bot syncs QRPRINT-MAP D+7. qrprint_bot_deflect +46%, qrprint_bot_link_invent_violation 0 in 6 weeks.
QRPRINTBOT #964 vs QRPRINT #963, EXPIADBOT #930, OFFADBOT #960, BROKLINKbot #946 and PRINTCATbot #962
Seven QR print bot contents, seven distinct roles.
Quick Matrix
#964 QRPRINTBOT: tier 1 bot QR printed expired current alternative widget
QRPRINT #963: agents verify ops print visible execute
EXPIADBOT #930: expired Meta digital ad distinct physical print QR
OFFADBOT #960: promo flyer text code distinct expired QR scan
PRINTCATBOT #962: catalog text reference distinct QR page scan
BROKLINKbot #946: broken social link distinct offline printed QR
ADLC #932: checkout landing mismatch distinct expired QR URL
Pipeline: bot detect expired QR current_url cite → #963 ops print visible handoff execute.
Which bot_qrprint_* intents should be configured?
Eight QR print intents mapped to qrprint_* typologies #963.
Eight bot_qrprint intents
bot_qrprint_scan_detect: detect failed scan QR print message
bot_qrprint_url_lookup: original_qr_url → QRPRINT-MAP row
bot_qrprint_expired_answer: expiry_date offline_campaign_ref cite
bot_qrprint_current_offer: current_url current_offer map
bot_qrprint_404_recovery: landing 404 → current_url redirect
bot_qrprint_promo_code: promo_code_active if valid map
bot_qrprint_visible_flag: print still visible ops signal
bot_qrprint_handoff: unknown ops → #963
Tier 1 auto: scan_detect, url_lookup, expired_answer, current_offer, 404_recovery if URL or QR photo + QRPRINT-MAP + guardrails.
bot_qrprint_handoff, qrprint_unknown, qrprint_ops_flag persistent → agents #963 payload qrprint_id.
How to consume QRPRINT-MAP #963?
The bot reads QRPRINT-MAP #963: qrprint_id, original_qr_url, print_support, offline_campaign_ref, expiry_date, current_url, current_offer, promo_code_active, landing_type, agent_handoff_url.
Lookup grounded QR
URL normalize: strip params match original_qr_url
HTTP verify: 404 redirect loop detect post-scan
URL-GROUNDED-BOT: current_url current_offer map only do not invent
NO-LINK-INVENT-BOT: never offer link outside the registry
EXPIRY-GROUNDED-BOT: expiry_date cited if window has ended
CURRENT-OFFER-BOT: systematic alternative after expiration
Mobile widget: entry "My QR does not work" + paste URL field or upload QR photo.
QRPRINTBOT-SUP policy in six rules
Six rules bot QR print expired sure.
QR-REGISTRY-GATE: lookup QRPRINT-MAP before scan response
URL-GROUNDED-BOT: current_url from map only
NO-LINK-INVENT-BOT: bot does not emit or replace URL out of register
EXPIRY-GROUNDED-BOT: expiry_date cited if QR expired
CURRENT-OFFER-BOT: current_offer alternative mandatory
OFFAD-REROUTE-BOT: flyer text code → OFFADBOT #960, Meta ad → #930
Flow QRPRINTBOT QPB-1 to QPB-8
Eight-step flow: ingest detect lookup verify answer reroute handoff log.
QPB-1 Ingest: message scan QR print flyer packaging photo
QPB-2 Scan detect: bot_qrprint_scan_detect URL or image
QPB-3 Registry lookup: QR-REGISTRY-GATE original_qr_url
QPB-4 HTTP verify: 404 redirect loop landing status
QPB-5 Tier 1 answer: expired current_offer current_url promo
QPB-6 Reroute: OFFADBOT #960 EXPIADBOT #930 PRINTCATbot #962
QPB-7 Handoff: unknown ops visible → agent #963
QPB-8 Log: deflect expired_answer 404_recovery KPI
TPL-QRPRINT-EXPIRED Example
“QR print campaign {{offline_campaign_ref}} ended {{expiry_date}}. Current offer: {{current_offer}}. Link: {{current_url}}.”
Templates TPL-QRPRINT and touchpoints
Four short templates QR print embed widget mobile first.
TPL-QRPRINT-EXPIRED
[expiry_date map.] [offline_campaign_ref.] [current_offer.] EXPIRY-GROUNDED.
TPL-QRPRINT-CURRENT
[current_url map.] [promo_code_active map.] CURRENT-OFFER-BOT.
TPL-QRPRINT-404
[original_qr_url map.] Page deleted. Destination: [current_url.] 404 recovery.
TPL-QRPRINT-HANDOFF
[agent_handoff_url.] Request [unknown / ops / visible] transmitted. QR [qrprint_id]. Delay [handoff_sla].
Touchpoints
"My QR does not work": scan_detect + url_lookup
Paste URL scan failed: 404_recovery + current_url
Flyer offer expired: expired_answer + current_offer
Posters still in the street: visible_flag ops signal
Edge cases: EOL packaging, catalog, social media link, offer still active
Five cases outside tier 1 bot QR print standard.
Discontinued product packaging QR: handoff #963 + DISCO #243
Text-only catalog reference: reroute PRINTCATbot #962
Broken Instagram URL: reroute BROKLINKbot #946
Active registry QR offer: current_offer + promo_code_active applicable
Unknown QR outside map: handoff #963 UNKNOWN do not guess URL
Bot does not add original_qr_url outside QRPRINT-MAP: handoff #963 registry brief if new frequent print format.
Essential qrprint_bot KPIs
Five QRPRINTBOT management metrics and correlation #963.
qrprint_bot_deflect: Expired QRs clarified without a qrprint_ ticket
qrprint_bot_current_url_rate: % of current_url sessions provided tier 1
qrprint_bot_404_recovery_rate: % of 404 sessions redirected to map
qrprint_bot_handoff_rate: % of unknown ops routed #963
qrprint_bot_link_invent_violation: invented links outside map target 0
Target: link_invent_violation at zero and current_url_rate above 85% post QRPRINT-MAP sync D+7.
Anti-patterns QRPRINTBOT
Five common QR print bot errors.
Inventing out-of-map URLs: NO-LINK-INVENT-BOT registry only
Refusal without alternative: CURRENT-OFFER-BOT mandatory
Forgetting expiration date: EXPIRY-GROUNDED always cited
Confusing digital ads: #964 QR print is not EXPIADBOT #930
Duplicating OFFADBOT #960: #964 QR scan, distinct text flyer code

FAQ
Difference #963?
#963 = agents verify ops print visible execute. #964 = bot tier 1 alternative widget.

#930 = Meta digital ad capture. #964 = Physical print QR scan.
Difference OFFADBOT #960?
#960 = promo flyer text code. #964 = scan of expired immutable QR.
Modify the printed QR?
No. Print is immutable. Bot cites current_url alternative map.
