I am seeking a workaround for a function currently not offered in Smartsuite yet one that is fundamental to the functioning of our small startup business.
We need to generate a QR code image for a URL within a SmartSuite record and attach/store that generated QR code image in the Images/Files field for that same record.
What is important is that this process is automated as we have potentially several thousand records that will require connected QR images. Any manual cut and paste could result in mistakes that would be very difficult to pick up without scanning the QR image to make sure that it activates the correct URL webpage.
Jotforms has the required functionality with its Dynamic QR Code Widget. This widget creates the QR Code image automatically in a new field as the designated field (in our case the URL) is filled in. It is an extremely efficient Widget and would be perfect for SmartSuite (I have submitted it in SS future features requests).
However, Jotforms cost $34/month just for us to create the QR image for the record as all of the rest of the information that needs to be collected may be gathered directly within SmartSuite with a SS Form.
SmartSuiteās Emma and Nick suggested that I put the query out there to the SS Community for ideas.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Robert Hicks
