    Asked on November 10, 2015 at 8:42 PM

    Dear Jotform:

    I would like to add unique QR code to every confirmation emails/ auto responder emails when people submit the form.

    Can you let me know how to do that? Everyone who submit the form should get the unique QR code so that I can know  registers who attend the event or not when I scan their QR code for check in prior to the event.

    Thanks with regards,

    Mary

    Hello Mary,

    You can use the following widgets if you want to add QR code in your form. The QR image should appear on email notifications/autoresponder as well.

    You can follow the steps below:

    1. First, add the widget, in my case, I will use the "QR Code" widget. To avoid confusion, we will add a text label on it, click the "Properties" of the widget.

    2. Here, add a text label for this widget

    3. In my email notification template, you can add the QR code image

    Actually, my colleague has explained all of the steps with all of its details; but I assume that you confused on adding the ID name of the widget to the "Notification" email template. So, I'm going to give the screen recording for this stage.

    Please, see the steps for adding it to your email after adding to your form:

    After applying these steps, QR code will be displayed on the email you receive. I hope everything is clear now. Please, do let us know for further information.

     

    Regards.

    Dear Met
    Thank you for your email.
    We have done according to your steps, and still no QR code.
    Do we have to buy a certain plan for it to work?
    Best regards

    Hi again,

    I created a another form and did the same things by using the steps from above, it adds the QR code without having any issue. 

    Please, see the one of the test email from my mailbox:

    Please, don't forget to add a text to the field "Message to encode". If you leave that input empty, the QR code won't be generated. You can see the widget's wizard from the below:

    After applying this steps, please make a test and do let us know the results.

    Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.
    We are using the Dynamic QR widget, as indicated in our question.
    As such, there is no message to encode, only the label from which the user
    enters the data and QR code is create dynamically.
    We have tried deleting the entire form and recreating from scratch.
    Could you allow us access to the form you made so we can see?
    Best regards

    Up to know, all the methods are for the "QR code" widget. When I did the test with the "Dynamic QR Code Generator" widget, I replicated the same issue with you, sorry for the misunderstanding. Now, I'm going to escalate this issue to our widget team, so they will be on that issue as soon as possible. When there is an update about it, you will be informed from this thread via email.

     

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Hi again,

    Actually, the "Dynamic QR Code Generator" widget is working fine. All you need to do is define a field name on its wizard.

    After applying a field name, you will see that it will automatically generate the QR code in its field. To see it on action, you can check the following testing form:

    For further assistance, please do let us know.

    Regards.

    Dear Mert
    We did indicate on our previous response that we know about the label, with
    which the QR code is dynamically generated from.
    Using Jotform is getting very frustrating, there are no helpful answers to
    date.
    Appreciate if you guys can help, do let me know if the problem cannot be
    resolved so I can look elsewhere.
    Do not want to be wasting everyone's time.
    Best regards
    Clifford

    We apologize for this, Clifford.

    As the original topic of this thread had a different concern, I moved your concern to a new thread which is found on this link. And likewise raised the issue to the developers there.

    Thanks.
