QR code

Text / link → QR image

Turns a link, plain text, payment detail, or contact card into a scannable QR code image you can drop onto a document or page.

How it works

A QR code is the square barcode a phone camera can read. This node takes whatever you want people to reach (a web address, a payment link, a phone number, or a contact card) and produces that square as an image.

Businesses use it to bridge paper and screen: a QR on an invoice that opens the payment page, one on a flyer that goes to a booking form, or one on a badge that saves contact details. Because the code is generated inside the flow, it can carry a link that is specific to that job or customer.

The output is just an image, so the natural next step is placing it onto a document you are building or sending it out to be stored and used elsewhere.

Common use cases

Real situations where this node earns its place in a flow.

Turn a report URL into a QR code to print on a mailed document.

Link to checkout

Generate a QR that opens a payment page for a printed invoice.

Encode contact or wifi

Produce a QR for a vCard or wifi login to include in a document.

What you set up

  • Enter the link, text, payment detail, or contact info the code should point to, or pull it from an earlier value.
  • Adjust size so it scans cleanly at the size it will be printed or displayed.
  • Pass the image to the step that places it on a document or saves it.

Common questions

Can the code point somewhere different for each customer?

Yes. If the link comes from a value in the flow, each run makes a code aimed at that specific person or job, like a personalized payment or booking URL.

Will it hold more than a web link?

It can encode plain text, a phone number, or a full contact card too, not just a URL. Longer content makes a denser square, so keep it short if it will be printed small.
