Need help about QR codes

Posted on by Abhilash M abi 595

Hello All,

We have a requirement for which our client want include QR code of an event in the Email to all the invitees.

There is a google api which is generating the QR code when a string is passed for example https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=contact_name

 

1) There should be unique QR code for each contact and the QR code should be sent via Email? Are there any possible solutions for this?

As of now we were able to generate the QR code with the googleapi URL and how to capture the image and include it in the Email is the bottleneck.

Any suggestions/feedback is appreciated.

    Hi,

    To get a unique QR code for each contact you would have to include the contact ID (or some other unique value) on the URL that you're encoding like(chart.googleapis.com/chart;cht=qr&chl=contactname_12341234-1234-1234-1234-123412341234)

    This will ensure everyone has a different QR code.

    If you want to embed the picture in an email, there's not going to be an easy way to do that programatically in CRM. What I'd try is to not put the file in the email, rather, have the email include html for an image with the src as the Google API. Your emails will be physically smaller and you won't need to worry about generating the images.

    Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

    Thanks,

     Aiden
