Capturer le code
Scannez avec la caméra du navigateur, un lecteur USB ou Bluetooth, ou la saisie manuelle si l'étiquette est abîmée.
Workflows barcode-first
Les workflows barcode-first utilisent un scan comme déclencheur principal — pas une recherche dans un formulaire ni une saisie manuelle. Capturez un code-barres ou QR dans le navigateur, associez des règles workflow, puis déclenchez webhooks, API, Shopify, WMS, ERP ou outils d'automatisation.
Automatisation workflow scan-first dans le navigateur
Associer une règle workflow
Utilisez formats, motifs ou règles workflow activées pour que seuls les bons scans déclenchent l'action suivante.
Déclencher l'action
Routez la valeur scannée vers un webhook, API REST, middleware Shopify, endpoint WMS, intégration ERP ou outil d'automatisation.
Exemple de workflow barcode-first
Un workflow de prélèvement entrepôt peut commencer par un scan d'emplacement, puis router la valeur vers votre API WMS ou middleware pour validation et instructions.
- Créez un workflow pour la tâche : prélèvement, réception, inventaire cyclique ou vérification de commande.
- Configurez formats et motifs pour router correctement articles, emplacements ou commandes.
- Envoyez la valeur scannée vers votre API, webhook ou endpoint d'automatisation avec {'{{'}data{'}}'} comme champ de scan.
- Affichez les données retournées ou un retour audio si l'opérateur a besoin de confirmation.
Exemple de payload de scan
Un workflow barcode-first transmet généralement la valeur décodée plus un contexte léger au système qui possède validation et mises à jour.

}Ce que barcode-first signifie ici
- Capture can start from a browser camera, USB or Bluetooth scanner input, or manual entry on phones, Android handheld terminals, enterprise mobile computers, or wedge workstations.
- Workflow actions can call an HTTP endpoint, display returned data, render HTML/JS, open a URL, or show an iframe.
- Rules can match specific barcode or QR values with formats and patterns before an action runs.
- The receiving system stays the source of truth; Scan2Flow routes the scanned value to the workflow you configure.
- Browser-based capture can replace dedicated scanners when the use case is capture-and-send; installable as a PWA on supported devices.
- Manual SKU entry invites transposition mistakes on every shift.
- Receiving drags when staff match cartons by eye instead of scanning.
- Cycle counts slip to quarterly because counting feels too slow.
- Lookups turn into scrolling and guessing instead of scanning a label.
- Stock moves never get logged because the form takes longer than the walk.
- Wrong SKU typed once - wrong pick twice. Scan-first input sends the exact barcode value.
- Dedicated handheld scanners are optional - the camera already on your phone can be the scanner.
FAQ workflows barcode-first
What is a barcode-first workflow?
A barcode-first workflow starts with a scan. The operator captures a barcode or QR code first, then a configured rule triggers the next action - such as a webhook call, API lookup, URL open, or display of returned data.
Is Scan2Flow a barcode inventory system?
Scan2Flow is the capture layer for barcode inventory workflows - scan input in the browser that routes to your inventory platform. On-hand stock, reorder logic, and count variance live in your WMS, ERP, or Shopify stack, not in Scan2Flow.
What is the difference between a barcode inventory system and inventory tracking software?
Tracking software shows levels, locations, and movement history. A barcode inventory system is how staff identify items at the point of work. Scan2Flow handles scan-first identification and HTTP handoff; your backend handles tracking and storage.
How is barcode-first different from form-first?
Form-first workflows ask the operator to search, type, or select a record before acting. Barcode-first workflows use the scan as the entry point, which reduces typing errors and speeds up warehouse, retail, and field tasks.
Do I need a dedicated barcode scanner?
No. The built-in camera on phones and tablets works for most floor tasks. USB and Bluetooth wedge scanners suit high-volume receiving lines. Scan2Flow does not require proprietary hardware.
Can I use QR codes in barcode-first workflows?
Yes. The same scan-first pattern applies to QR codes. Use workflow format rules when you want only QR values to trigger a specific action.
Can several operators scan at the same time?
Yes. Each phone or handheld runs its own browser session and workflow. Real-time stock sync is handled by your WMS or middleware - Scan2Flow sends each scan event as it happens.
Does this work for receiving docks, retail back rooms, or tool cribs?
Yes, when you configure workflows that POST to the right endpoint. Examples: WMS receive API at the dock, Shopify middleware in the back room, or asset checkout API in a tool crib. Scan2Flow captures; your platform owns the record.
Do I need a native mobile app?
No. Scan2Flow runs in the browser on phones, Android handheld terminals, enterprise mobile computers, and wedge-scanner workstations. It can be installed as a PWA where supported.
Is Scan2Flow the system of record?
No. Scan2Flow captures and routes scan input. Your WMS, ERP, CRM, Shopify stack, or automation platform owns validation, storage, and business rules.
Where can I learn to build workflows?
See the workflow guide at /docs/workflows for action types, triggers, and demo flows. Integration pages such as scan-to-webhook and barcode-to-wms show destination-specific examples.
