Browser QR Code Reader

Read QR code values in the browser and turn them into workflow actions for check-ins, lead capture, asset lookup, webhooks, APIs, and internal tools.

QR code reader for scan-to-action workflows

Read the QR code

Capture QR values with a supported browser camera, scanner input, or manual entry for fallback testing.

Trigger the workflow

Open a URL, call an API, display returned data, render HTML/JS, or show a trusted page based on the configured action.

Connect the destination

Send QR code data to webhooks, CRM flows, ERP-connected endpoints, event tools, lead capture systems, or your own backend.

Example QR code reader workflow

A QR code reader can be used for more than opening links: it can capture IDs and route them into a controlled workflow.

  1. Create a workflow for QR values such as tickets, assets, leads, locations, or internal IDs.
  2. Limit the workflow to QR Code format when the action should not run for other barcode types.
  3. Send the QR value to a webhook, API, URL, or display workflow.
  4. Use returned data or audio feedback when the operator needs confirmation.

Example QR code payload

A QR code reader workflow can forward the decoded QR value plus context to the receiving system.

{
  "qr_code": "{{data}}",
  "source": "scan2flow",
  "workflow": "qr-code-reader-workflow",
  "operator_context": "browser-scan-station"
}

QR code reader facts

  • 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.
  • A QR code reader workflow can be restricted to QR Code format when you do not want other barcode types to trigger it.
  • The QR value is routed to the destination you configure; Scan2Flow does not become the system of record.

QR code reader FAQ

Is this an online QR code reader?

It is a browser-based QR code reader experience for supported devices. It can read QR values and route them through Scan2Flow workflows.

Can a QR code reader trigger a webhook?

Yes. A workflow can send the decoded QR value to a webhook or HTTP endpoint that you configure.

Can I use it for event check-in or lead capture?

Yes, when your workflow and receiving endpoint are configured for those jobs. Scan2Flow captures and routes the value; your destination handles validation and storage.

Can it read normal barcodes too?

Scan2Flow supports barcode and QR workflows. For QR-specific pages, use workflow rules to limit the action to QR Code format when needed.
