Printed Flowcodes still resolve through Flowcode. Codes not in a folder are left out of the bulk download. CSV: documented export columns auto-detected. HTML: [/migrate/flowcode](/migrate/flowcode). Comparison: [/vs/flowcode.md](/vs/flowcode.md). Export path checked 2026-08-22: https://help.flowcode.com/en/articles/9736559-how-to-bulk-download-a-list-of-where-your-codes-scan-to. ## Steps ### 1. Export from Flowcode Put the codes in a folder, open Folders, select the folder, and click Download URLs. Flowcode documents that this only includes codes already in a folder. The CSV has Flowcode Name, Short Links, and Scan Destination. We auto-detect those headers. Scan Destination is the final URL; Short Links is the Flowcode redirect, not ours. ### 2. Upload the CSV Sign in and open /dashboard/links/import, or start from /import if you do not have an account yet. Rows without a usable http(s) destination are counted and reported, never silently dropped. ### 3. Read the new addresses as rrte.link Each imported row becomes a new dynamic link. A back-half such as launch-2026 becomes rrte.link/launch-2026 when that back-half is free. If it is taken, reserved, or duplicated in the file, that row gets a fresh short ID and the rest of the import continues. The Flowcode URL itself is not transferred — no provider can take over another provider's domain. ### 4. Read the quota skip report The import creates links up to the remaining quota on your plan and tells you exactly how many were skipped. Upgrade and re-run the file for the rest whenever you like. ### 5. Treat imported links as ordinary dynamic links They pick up scan analytics from the first scan after import. You can add routing, expiry, a password or retargeting afterwards. Once a link exists here, it keeps redirecting forever, even if you cancel a paid plan. Plan limits only apply to creating new links. ### 6. Reprint anything that still encodes the old address While the old Flowcode account is active, and if that plan still lets you edit destinations, you can repoint those Flowcode short URL links at the new rrte.link addresses so existing prints keep working during the switch. For every new print run, encode the rrte.link address. ## What this will not do - Import creates new rrte.link addresses. It cannot take over Flowcode short URLs — those still resolve through Flowcode. - Scan history, passwords, expiry dates and branded domains from the other provider do not come across. Only the destination, an available back-half, the title and the tags. - Flowcode's bulk URL download only includes codes already in a folder. - The free plan includes 3 dynamic links. A larger file imports up to the remaining quota and reports the rest as skipped. Paid plans are unlimited. - One upload is capped at 1000 rows and 2 MB. Split a larger export and run the import again — taken back-halves receive new short IDs. ## Frequently asked questions ### Will my printed Flowcode QR codes start using reRoute after I import? No. A QR code that already encodes Flowcode short URLs still resolves through Flowcode. Import creates a new rrte.link address for each row; it cannot rewrite ink. Keep the old Flowcode links pointed at the right destinations until you reprint, and encode rrte.link on everything new. ### Do custom back-halves survive the move? Yes, when they are free and syntactically valid (3–50 characters, letters, numbers, underscore or hyphen). If a back-half is taken, reserved, or appears twice in the file, that row gets a fresh short ID and the rest of the import continues. ### What happens to rows over my plan's limit? They are counted and reported as skipped. The import creates everything that fits, then tells you how many did not. Upgrade and upload the file again for the rest — nothing is silently discarded. ### Do imported links die if I stop paying? No. Once a link exists it keeps redirecting, including on the free plan. We never pause links, inject ads, or hold printed QR codes hostage. Plan limits only apply to creating new links. Destination edits on those existing links stay unlimited, and analytics history is preserved if you resubscribe. ### Does click or scan history come with the CSV? No. The export gives us destinations, back-halves, titles and tags. Analytics start from the first scan of the new rrte.link address. ### Does the importer understand Flowcode column names? Yes. Put the codes in a folder, open Folders, select the folder, and click Download URLs. Flowcode documents that this only includes codes already in a folder. The CSV has Flowcode Name, Short Links, and Scan Destination. We auto-detect those headers. Scan Destination is the final URL; Short Links is the Flowcode redirect, not ours. ## Related - [All migration guides](/migrate.md) - [reRoute vs Flowcode](/vs/flowcode.md) - [CSV importer](/import) - [Pricing](/pricing.md) - Export source: https://help.flowcode.com/en/articles/9736559-how-to-bulk-download-a-list-of-where-your-codes-scan-to
