Quick Start: Updating Monday.com Items with QR Codes
With this quick guide, learn how to update a Monday.com item with a QR code in just a few minutes.
If you want to try a fully functional example, please check out this tutorial.
Configure Ubiqod
Create an interface
Depending on your use cas, create the corresponding interface, like this one (single choice):
If you want to update a status in monday.com, each button label should correspond to the exact label of a status. Use 1 / 2 / 3 / etc. for the reference.
Create a dispatch
In the dispatch section of Ubiqod, create a monday.com dispatch. Each tracker associate with this dispatch will send data to monday.com in real time.
You need to create a monday.com dispatch, select a board, and the columns to update.
At the end, your dispatch page should look like this:
If you want to update a status column, use the Data label in the corresponding column.
The list of the available data for the mapping is listed here.
Installing the monday.com QR code tracking App
Click on the button below to install the App:
The app consists of two main components:
- Integration (Automation): This allows you to create and generate a Ubiqod tracker directly from Monday.com, adding the tracker link to a designated column. You can use this link to encode an NFC tag or generate a QR code.
- Item View: This feature displays the QR code generated from the tracker link created by the integration.
Automatically Generating a Tracker Link for New Items
To automate tracker creation, go to the Automation tab on your board and click “Add Automation.”
You can set up Ubiqod to automatically generate a tracker link whenever a new item is added or trigger it manually using a button column.:
You may see 2 options:
- Create a new tracker debited per scan: price will be 1 credit per scan
- Create a new tracker debited daily: price will be 1 credit per day, up to 50 scans per day
The tracker link will be displayed in a “Link” type column for each item on your board. You can use the item view (see section below) to display the corresponding QR code, or utilize the link to encode an NFC tag. You can also use the Ubiqod interface (Trackers section) to bulk print QR codes.
Here’s an example of a successful configuration:
Now, each time you add an item, the link to the Ubiqod tracker will automatically be generated and visible in your Ubiqod interface.
Add item view to display QR code for Ubiqod tracker
To add a QR code display, click on any item label (beside the text, not directly on it) to open the item view menu. Then, click on “Add View”:
- Search for Ubiqod (or scroll to the bottom of the list under the “Installed Apps” section).
- Select “Display item tracking QR code.”
- Next, choose the link column that contains the tracker URL.
- Finally, set the desired size and margin for the QR code.
Each QR code created in the monday.com board will be available in the tracker section of the Ubiqod platform.
You are all set! You can now create an item in your board, scan the QR code and see what happens.
