Together with Integromat, you can generate barcodes of varying complexity right in your bot. Every barcode will be unique.
Use cases:
Running contests.
Identifying a subscriber.
Delivering unique content (links to content), passwords, key phrases and more.
The logic is as follows:
The user enters any text — Integromat receives the current data (the text) via a webhook — the content passes through the QR generator module (Barcodes) — and you get a barcode as the output.
However, the barcode is still inside Integromat, so depending on your task you can:
Send it to a Telegram group/chat (you can also pin this post and so on. Read more about what the Telegram API can do within Integromat in the next section).
Send it by email.
Add it to your database/CRM.
How to do it:
Receive your data from the form (the small circle is an indicator with the number 1).
Add the Barcodes module to the scenario.
Barcode type — QR Code. Click the Text text field and drag the answer item into it. answer is usually found on the forms tab.
The final item looks like this: 1. forms [1]: answer. If you hover over this item, you can specify a different sequence number of your form response.
That is, if a command has 4 input forms, you get 4 responses. 1 form = 1 response. After you move the answer item to the text field, hover over it and enter, for example, the number 2 — the Barcodes module will generate a QR code specifically for that response.Done.
Type descriptions:
Barcodes can generate not only QR codes but also regular barcodes:
Code 39 — most often used in the military and automotive industries.
Code 128 — this encoding standard is most often used in logistics activities such as purchasing and delivery, but can potentially be used for many other purposes.
EAN-8 — the EAN abbreviation is still in use today. The EAN-8 barcode (which encodes 8 digits) is used for small packages where the EAN 13 barcode (which encodes 13 digits) does not fit.
EAN-13 - although EAN stands for European Article Number, the code is now technically called the International Article Number and is also used outside Europe.
QR Code — a two-dimensional matrix code designed for marking and identifying parts in the automotive industry. It has become hugely popular in commercial use because smartphones can scan and read it.
UPC-A — the most common and recognizable type of barcode in the USA. It is most often used in retail, for example in grocery stores.
UPC-E — a shortened version used for small products whose packaging has no room for a full-size UPC-A code.
