QR codes


I want to be able to add a QR code in form respondent emails which can then be presented on a handheld device and scanned at entry to an event. Any suggestions on how this can be done?

Hola guys! πŸ€

 

So if I understand this correctly, @BossHog wants to grab data from the form submission, compress the info into a QR code and sent the code to the respondent via email. How nifty!

And yep, you could totally do this with Make (formerly Integromat)! I think it would be rude to just jump in without giving you any background. So, here comes the background! Make is a visual platform that helps you to create, build, and automate anything, from tasks and workflows to apps and systems πŸ€“ Ok, we got to know the product, now let’s move on to the solution. 

 

In order to achieve what you’re trying to achieve, you’re going to need to work with 

πŸ“ the Typeform pre-made integration on Make

πŸ” our native Barcodes app

πŸ“« the Email app 

 

This is what the scenario could potentially look like: 

 

The QR code will feature the information that you map from the typefrom submission (e.g. name, address, email address, you name it). My personal advice would be to set the β€œScale” to 5. The code is then neither too big nor too small. 

 

 

Hope this helps! πŸ˜Š

Hi @BossHog Thanks for stopping by the community! While we don’t have an option to add a QR code directly in the respondent notification emails, you could use a service like Zapier or Integromat to send the emails instead. For example, they have this zap here that might work for you.

@BossHog - there is an β€˜older’ article in the Typeform Help Centre that talks about creating a QR code for an event badge ( at this link ) that might help. 

Here’s a little note about using the Document Studio add-on for Google Sheets: they have a qrcode formula in the add-on that allows you to create a qr code based on the data.. 

if you connect your typeform to Google Sheets and then use the Document Studio add-on, you should be able to generate the code that you need - you can email the QR code/badge to the user from Google Sheet using this add-on

 

cheers

Hey @BossHog! Hope you're having a nice day! 

I'm tagging @Michaela here as she might have some ideas on how to do that using Make (Formerly Integromat). 

I'm also adding a post that I believe might be interesting to you! Hope it helps! πŸ˜Ž
