QR code webhooks

[Greg Hains]

Good morning.

I have a series of QR codes on client devices, that when scanned will trigger a webhook that in turn runs a script on FMS. All works well, however it does just one task.

I now would like - if possible - to have a menu appear on the mobile device that scans this QR code. From this menu, the user can select one of several options, and different webhooks could be triggered from that menu option. This would give me a lot more options.

I might be on the wrong track, but would this QR code open a web page that displays a JavaScript menu that depending on the option chosen, launches one of a few different webhooks?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers,

Greg

Not sure what exactly you mean by "JavaScript menu" but yes, you would need a webpage to present the users with some options which would then lead to the correct script being executed (or the correct script parameter being sent).

This has really nothing to do with Filemaker. Unless you want to use WebDirect to present the options and take the action, instead of the webhook.

Hi Comment,

Thanks for your reply.

FileMaker's involvement would be the WebDirect option (currently discussing this on Claris forum too) which may be the best option for access by a variety of devices without FmGo.

I'm not sure about the font issue. Looks OK from here. Sorry if there's an issue displaying it.
