## FAQ
- Q: Why did Linq sunset and what does it mean for our 200-employee NFC card programme?
  A: Linq exited the digital business-card business in January 2025 and pivoted to AI messaging APIs. Customers whose cards pointed at Linq-controlled URLs lost the routing layer; replacement required re-issuing physical cards across the entire workforce. The procurement lesson for enterprise programmes: every SaaS routing platform is one strategic pivot from orphaning your card inventory. Mitigation: encode cards with `https://yourcompany.com/contact/{slug}` (your own domain) and route server-side. If Linq, Popl or any SaaS partner pivots, you swap routing logic without touching cards.
- Q: How does SCIM provisioning to NFC card URLs work in practice?
  A: Three-tier flow: (1) HR system (Workday, BambooHR, ADP) creates employee record. (2) SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity Management, RFC 7643 + 7644) provisions the employee to your identity provider (Okta, Azure AD) with attributes like email, role, region. (3) IdP triggers a URL routing rule creation on your web server (e.g., maps `{employee-slug}` → `{employee-id}` → contact page). NFC cards are pre-printed with `{slug}` patterns; first day on the job the card already works. Offboarding: SCIM de-provisioning removes the routing rule; URL returns 410 Gone.
- Q: Should we use SaaS routing (Linq, Popl, V1CE) or self-host the URL?
  A: For 100+ employee programmes, self-host on the company domain. SaaS routing pricing ($6.99–$15.99 per user per month for full features) at 200-employee scale runs $17K–$38K / year in perpetuity — and carries platform-extinction risk per the Linq sunset. Self-hosted routing infrastructure costs $1K–$5K / year hosting + one-time $5K–$30K engineering integration. Payback within 1 year vs SaaS. SaaS still makes sense for solo or sub-10-person programmes where the lock-in cost is small and time-to-market matters more than long-term TCO.
- Q: How do we integrate with Salesforce / HubSpot for lead capture?
  A: Standard REST API integration pattern. Customer taps NFC card → lands on company-domain landing page with employee-pre-populated lead form → form submit triggers REST API call to Salesforce (Lead create) / HubSpot (Lead create + workflow) / Pipedrive (Deal create) / Marketo (Lead + Program). Server-side automatic attribution: campaign ID, employee ID, tap timestamp, device class. Per-employee performance metrics for sales-operations dashboards. Engineering cost typically $10K–$50K for the full integration build.
- Q: How do we offboard a departing employee's NFC card without recovering the physical card?
  A: Routing-layer revocation. SCIM de-provisioning from HR system → IdP removes URL routing rule on company domain → URL returns 410 Gone or redirects to generic company contact page. The physical card continues to exist but no longer resolves to a working contact. Some companies route departing employees to a 'team contact' page instead of 410 (`{slug}` → `https://yourcompany.com/contact/team-sales/`). Document the revocation workflow in offboarding policy + retain server logs as compliance evidence.
- Q: Can we run campaign URL rotation without re-issuing cards?
  A: Yes — that's the core operational advantage of stable-redirect-on-company-domain. During a Dreamforce / HIMSS / partner-launch campaign, redirect rule changes serve a campaign-specific landing page (`/event/{event-id}/{employee-slug}`). After the campaign, redirect rolls back to the standard contact page. Same physical card; different landing. A/B testing different landing variants is similarly trivial at the redirect-rule layer. Brand-refresh transitions handled the same way — new landing artwork, old physical cards continue to function.
- Q: What's the GDPR / DPA requirement when SaaS routing is in scope?
  A: Company is data controller for lead data captured via NFC card; SaaS routing platform is processor. GDPR Article 28 requires DPA (Data Processing Agreement), sub-processor list audit, data-residency commitment, and standard contractual clauses for international data transfer. Self-hosted URL on company domain eliminates the processor relationship entirely — PII stays inside the existing GDPR / CCPA compliance perimeter. For enterprise programmes operating under SOC 2 audit, this also matters: self-hosted routing keeps the routing layer inside existing SOC 2 boundary instead of adding a vendor in the audit trail.
- Q: Should executives get NTAG 424 DNA SUN cards?
  A: Worth it. NTAG 424 DNA SUN provides AES-128 CMAC per-tap unique URL signing; server-side validation detects clones in real time. For C-suite + board cards (high-value relationships, anti-impersonation concerns) the $20–30 cost premium per chip vs NTAG 213 pays back on the trust signal alone. Pair NTAG 424 DNA SUN chip with metal card body + Apple Wallet pass for the premium executive cohort. For sales / customer-success / general workforce, NTAG 213 / 215 is sufficient — anti-clone concerns are typically not material for these cohorts.
