Workflow guide

Workflows tell Scan 2 Flow what to do after a scan. Choose one action, add optional filters, and test with the built-in demo flows.

What is a workflow?

A workflow runs one action when the active scan matches its rules. Demo flows include tickets, inventory items, assets, and pharmacy products.

These read-only cards show the demo workflows loaded when demo mode is active.

Demo cards cannot be edited here. Open Flow to create or edit your own workflows.

Open Scan, pick a demo workflow, and scan one of the sample codes.

Pick the action that matches the job. The demo cards above show exact URLs, patterns, and fields.

Open a page or deep link after a scan.

Send the scanned value to an HTTP endpoint.

Call an API and play a success or failure beep based on the response status.

Show selected fields from an API response in the browser.

Render a small HTML view from API response data.

Show a trusted web page in an iframe using the scanned value.

Only the selected workflow runs. The scan still has to pass its format and pattern rules:

Format: Limit the active workflow to specific barcode types (e.g. QR Code only) or "Any Format" for any type allowed in Settings.
Pattern: Enable "Pattern match" and enter a regular expression. The scan must match the regex for the selected workflow's action to run.

Use the API docs to decode barcode images or generate QR code images from text.
