QR code reader & scanner tool

[rory]

Is it possible to automatically detect a scanner without having to click on a button to trigger a workflow?

i.e. for signing people into a site. I want to setup a tablet with a handheld scanner (similar to a kiosk). When a QR code is presented in front of the scanner it should detect it and then check that person in/out.
Can the scanner be automatically detected without defaulting to the tablets built-in camera?

I know I can let users scan the same QR code and redirect them to a page to manually login, but not all phones have QR scanning capability and I think it’d be a better UX to just scan a person in.
If the first option can’t be done then I’ll revert to this.

Cheers

Hello,

With our QR code element, you can create a workflow with the trigger on scan. You should be able to do what you want

hi @rory in case you’re still working on QR code + barcode functionality, we built and released a free component on the new WeWeb marketplace that scans both QR and barcodes that would work in your use case.
