Custom QR Codes / Add Friends

[healthywebdev]

Does FitBit currently support any type of custom url scheme, which would allow a users on a mobile device to scan a QR code and be redirected into the App to complete the friend request?

I was hoping it would be possible to generate a QR code with something like:

fitbit://?addfriend=brad@healthywebdeveloper.com

Another alternative is a simple barcode which encode the user slug:

Here is a working version, using a bit.ly url encoded in the barcode. Not Optimal for length, but should work with any Barcode Scanning App on mobile devices.

The Fitbit apps do not have a launchable scheme, but we appreciate the feature request!
