The 'Generate a Wi-Fi QR Code' action within the Generate Code Actions app by Integration Glue allows you to generate QR codes that encode Wi-Fi network information, making it easier for users to connect to a Wi-Fi network by simply scanning the code. This action is particularly useful in situations where you want to share your Wi-Fi credentials in a secure and convenient way.
The action automatically encodes the Wi-Fi network's SSID (network name), password, and the security type (e.g., WPA2, WEP), creating a QR code that can be scanned with a mobile device to instantly connect to the Wi-Fi network.
This action is particularly useful when:
- You need to share Wi-Fi access details securely and conveniently with guests, employees, or users in a location.
- You want to provide a seamless connection experience for users without manually entering the Wi-Fi details.
- You are hosting events, meetings, or other gatherings where multiple users need to access the same Wi-Fi network.
- Naming convention for the QR code file names allows you to define the naming pattern for the generated Wi-Fi QR code file. You can use dynamic fields to customize the name based on the record’s data
- Folder ID (where the QR code will be saved) refers to the location in HubSpot's File Manager where the generated Wi-Fi QR code will be saved. You need to specify a folder's ID (or select it from a list) to ensure the QR code file is stored in an organized manner.
- File visibility of the saved QR code determines the visibility level of the QR code file once it's saved in HubSpot.
- Property to save file URL of the QR code specifies the property where the URL of the generated QR code will be saved. You can select an existing HubSpot property or create a new one to store this URL.
- Associate QR code to the enrolled record as an attachment If this option is enabled, the generated QR code will be attached to the enrolled HubSpot record (e.g., a contact, deal, or ticket) as an attachment. This makes it easy to track the QR code alongside the record.
- Name of the network this field captures the SSID (Service Set Identifier) of the Wi-Fi network you want to encode in the QR code. This is the name of the Wi-Fi network that users will connect to.
- password of the network is where you enter the Wi-Fi network password that users will need to connect to the network. This is the key part of the Wi-Fi credentials that will be encoded in the QR code
- Wi-Fi security type specifies the encryption type used by the Wi-Fi network.
Here’s a concise step-by-step guide to setting up the 'Generate a Wi-Fi QR Code' action:
Step 1: Configure QR Code Naming Convention
- Enter the naming convention for the QR code file, e.g.,
WiFi_QR_{NetworkName}.
Step 2: Select Folder ID for Saving
- Choose the folder in HubSpot's File Manager where the QR code will be saved, or create a new folder.
Step 3: Set File Visibility
- Choose the visibility level for the saved QR code:
- Public (anyone with the link can access)
- Private (restricted access)
Step 4: Save QR Code URL
- Select or create a property to store the URL of the generated QR code.
Step 5: Associate QR Code with Record
- Enable this option if you want to attach the QR code to the enrolled record (e.g., contact, deal).
Step 6: Enter Network Details
- Network Name: Enter the Wi-Fi SSID (e.g., "CompanyWiFi").
- Password: Enter the Wi-Fi password.
- Security Type: Select the appropriate encryption type (e.g., WPA2, WEP).
Step 7: Save and Test
- Save the action, and test by running it through a workflow to generate and retrieve the Wi-Fi QR code.
