Reading QR code of a picture after picture is taken

[edmund_chan]

Hi AppSheet community

Is there a feature in AppSheet app to extract the QR code details when I take a picture as part of validation requirement?

The use case is the delivery person is required to take a picture of the parcel with the label with QR code. The QR code contains useful information for delivery route sorting, unique ID, customer info, contents of parcel, delivery address etc. It is a practice to take a picture of the parcel with the delivery location itself containing the door unit. A 2-step way will be to take a picture then read the QR code for validation with the stored delivery address in the app. The validation will make sure that the parcel is sent to the right end customer. of one is able to read the QR code in the picture, we can validate that it’s the right delivery location from a single action of taking a picture with the QR code.

Hope to get some thoughts from the community on this

Hi, i’ve asked this before and it wasn’t possible. What you can do is to setup a form that opens when you scan the barcode upon delivery and add an image column for the delivery guy take a picture. Perhaps there is a third party app that could read the barcode from a picture.
