TL;DR

Helpers are small functions designed to keep you in flow with. All the small things that can give you technical empowerment or save time.

Introduction

In the everyday work, small tasks can really add up. Whether it’s generating shareable links, creating quick codes for instant reference, these mini “to-dos” can interrupt your flow. Enter Helpers — a collection of easy-to-use features that handle these small but important jobs, so you can stay focused on your bigger goals.

What Are Helpers?

Helpers are bite-sized tools that fit right into your workflow and make everyday chores simpler. You can use them to:

• Save time on repetitive tasks (e.g., creating short URLs).
• Enhance your marketing automations (e.g., making sharable QR codes for campaigns or events).
• Add a layer of hidden personalization (e.g., by encoding sensitive information with Base64).

When combined with other strategies — like personalizing landing pages — Helpers allow you to quickly handle the technical stuff and concentrate on your main objectives.

Four Helpers That Make Life Easier

Here are the first four Helpers we’re rolling out. Each one is designed to simplify your day-to-day tasks and help you keep your focus where it matters. Some are potential daily time savers, some are there for the occasional time that you need it.

1. QR Code Generator

QR codes are everywhere these days, from product packaging to menus in restaurants. With our built-in QR Code Generator, you can create codes on the spot without messing around with extra tools or websites.

Why You Need It:

• Make sharing links super easy: No more awkwardly typing long URLs during events.
• Hop between devices - let people scan your QR-code with their phone during a webinar.

2. URL Shortener

Extra-long URLs full of special characters don’t look appealing and can be tricky to share. Our URL Shortener Helper simplifies this by letting you create neat, bite-sized links.

Why You Need It:

• Look more professional: Short links give a cleaner, more polished impression.
• Use your custom domain, or use our supershort mfl.to as a base.

3. Password Generator

These days, having strong and unique passwords is crucial, but coming up with them can be a hassle. Our Password Generator Helper tackles that problem in a snap.

Why You Need It:

• Better security: Generate passwords that are tough to crack.
• Save time: No more racking your brain to think up new passwords.

4. Base64 Encoder/Decoder

If you read our personalization article, you know Base64 encoding can hide data in URLs for a cleaner look. This Helper does the encoding and decoding automatically.

Why You Need It:

• Protect sensitive info: Keep private data out of plain sight in shared links.
• Less clutter: Turn long or unwieldy strings into neat, encoded snippets.
• Quick decoding: Switch back to readable text whenever you need.

Putting It All Together

This is an example of how to put these into action:

1. You create a landing page, offering a bonus/gift/e-book/freebie that can be unlocked with a Contact Form.
2. You create a QR-code that attendees can scan to visit the landing page.
3. You set up and automation that sends an email whenever someone enters their details, giving them their promised freebie.
4. All potential leads now have gotten a smooth way to come into your digital ecosystem - and you’ve gotten fresh contacts in your CRM!

With myflow, all of these steps are in one place, saving you from jumping between different apps or browser tabs.
