4 Steps on how to create bulk QR codes from Google Sheets using Zapier integration
Step 1: Create a Zapier account
Sign up for Zapier using your email address or Facebook account. Zapier offers a free plan that you can use to create your Zaps.
Step 2: Connect Uniqode to your Zapier account
Log in to your Uniqode dashboard, go to Integrations > Zapier. Here, you’ll find the API Key and Organization ID, which you’ll need to integrate your Uniqode account with Zapier.
Click on ‘Add Uniqode to Zapier’. You’ll be directed to the page below. Click ‘Accept Invite & Build a Zap’.
Step 3: Make a Zap
Select a Trigger
- Choose App and Event – Google Sheets and New Spreadsheet Row.
- Choose Account – Select your Google account.
- Set up trigger – Select the spreadsheet and worksheet that contains the bulk QR code data with the required data fields. In this case, we’re creating Website QR codes. So the required field is the QR code URL.
- Test the trigger.
Select an Action
- Choose App & Event – Uniqode & Create Dynamic QR code.
- Choose Account – Sign in to Uniqode using the token and ID from earlier.
- Set up action – Fill in the required fields (QR Code Name, Color, Margin, Campaign Type, Website URL).
- Test action – Check to see if your Zap works.
Step 4: Turn your Zap on
This is the last and most crucial step to create your bulk QR codes. They won’t generate if your Zap isn’t on.
Once your Zap is on, when you add a new row to your spreadsheet, Uniqode will automatically generate a QR code on the dashboard.
What else can you do with Uniqode and Google Sheets?
Besides bulk QR Code generation, there are other workflows you can automate and execute using Uniqode and Google Sheets through Zapier integration.
#1. Track and record QR code generation
You can keep track of the QR codes that are created in Uniqode on your Google spreadsheets. Here’s how it works:
Select a Trigger
- Choose App and Event – Uniqode and New QR Code Created.
- Choose Account – Select your Uniqode account.
- Test trigger
Select an Action
- Choose App & Event – Google Sheets and Create Spreadsheet Row.
- Choose Account – Select your Google account.
- Set up action – Select the spreadsheet, worksheet, Object ID, and Object URL of the QR code. The ID and URL are required to track QR code generation.
- Test action
Once you turn on the Zap, every time a QR code is created in Uniqode, it’s Object ID, and URL are recorded in your spreadsheet in a new row.
#2. Set up an analytics workflow
In order to receive real-time analytics for your QR code scans, you can manually set up a workflow to track details such as the location, devices used, and so much more. Here’s how you can set it up:
Select a Trigger
- Choose App and Event – Uniqode and QR Code scanned.
- Choose Account – Select your Uniqode account.
- Test trigger
Choose an Action
- Choose App and Event – Google Sheets and Create Spreadsheet Row.
- Choose Account – Select your Google account.
- Set up action – Select the spreadsheet and worksheet in which these details will be recorded. In this case, we’re tracking the devices that are used to scan the QR codes. So, select your QR code URL (Event detail Qr Code URL), QR code name (Event detail Qr Code Name), and Device (Event Detail Event Info User Agent).
You’ll need the help of a developer to understand this step in detail. For more information, check out our QR Code API.
- Test action
So now, once your QR code is scanned, the device used will be recorded in your spreadsheet.
