NFC Business Cards: How They Work with Your CRM
One tap. A lead captured, a branded PDF sent, and an AI follow-up triggered — before you finish the handshake.
What is an NFC business card?
NFC (Near Field Communication) business cards are physical cards embedded with a small chip. When someone taps the card with their smartphone, it instantly opens a webpage — no app download required, works on every iPhone and Android.
Traditional business cards share your contact details. NFC business cards do that, and also capture the lead's details for you.

The complete NFC tap-to-lead flow
Here's exactly what happens when someone taps your NFC card with PageCRM:
- 1
Contact taps your card
Their phone detects the NFC chip and instantly opens your PageCRM profile page. No app download, no friction.
- 2
Short mobile form
They fill in their name, phone, and a short message. The form is mobile-optimised and designed to be completed quickly.
- 3
Lead created in your CRM
Instantly, a contact is created in your pipeline at the stage you configured. Their message is saved as a note.
- 4
Branded PDF delivered
A professional A4 PDF with your company branding, their enquiry details, and your contact info is generated and sent to them via WhatsApp and email — automatically.
- 5
AI follow-up triggered
Workflow automations fire: an AI-drafted WhatsApp reply goes to the contact, you get a notification, and the next follow-up is scheduled in your calendar.
Do I need a special NFC card?
No. PageCRM works with any standard NFC card — you can buy them from any NFC card supplier and program them with your PageCRM profile URL. The URL is unique to your account and never changes.
Standard NFC business cards cost ₹300–₹1,500 depending on material (PVC, metal, bamboo). One card, unlimited taps, unlimited leads.
What phones can tap the card?
All modern iPhones (iPhone 7 and newer) and virtually all Android phones made since 2016 support NFC. No app download required — the phone's built-in NFC reader handles it natively.

| Follow-up | Depends if you remember | Automated sequence |
| PDF delivered | You prepare manually | Auto-generated + sent |
| Team visibility | None | Full pipeline visibility |
| Cost per lead | High (manual time) | Near zero |
