The 'Generate an APP Install QR Code' action within the Generate Code Actions app by Integration Glue allows you to automatically generate a QR code that links to an app installation page. This action is useful for promoting app downloads and making the installation process easier for users, especially in mobile or marketing campaigns.
The action generates a QR code that, when scanned, redirects users to the app store or landing page where the app can be downloaded. You can customize the QR code's content to point to specific platforms like Google Play or Apple App Store, making it easier for users to find and install the app.
This action is particularly useful when:
- You want to promote app installations via QR codes in physical locations, on marketing materials, or within emails.
- You’re running a campaign that requires users to quickly scan and install the app from their mobile devices.
- You need a simple, trackable method to distribute app links to a wide audience.
- Naming convention for the QR code file names defines how the file name of the generated QR code will be structured. You can set a specific naming pattern or rule, such as including the app name or a unique identifier, so that each QR code file is named consistently.
- Folder ID (where the QR code will be saved) refers to the HubSpot folder where the QR code file will be stored after it’s generated. The Folder ID is a unique identifier for the folder within HubSpot’s file management system. You need to provide the ID of the folder where you want the QR code to be saved.
- File visibility of the saved QR code determines the visibility of the generated QR code file. You can set whether the QR code should be publicly visible, or whether it should only be visible to specific users or teams within HubSpot.
- Property to save file URL of the QR code is the HubSpot property where the URL of the generated QR code file will be saved. This URL links directly to the saved QR code file, and it allows you to reference or access the file later in the workflow or in records.
- Associate QR code to the enrolled record as an attachment allows you to attach the generated QR code to the enrolled record (e.g., a contact, deal, or ticket) as an attachment. If enabled, the QR code file will be linked directly to the HubSpot record that triggered the workflow, making it easy to access and use.
- Which app store do you want to create an install URL for (ios or android) lets you specify which app store the QR code should link to. You can choose between iOS (Apple App Store) or Android (Google Play Store). The QR code will then generate an install link for the chosen app store.
- Enter the app ID is the unique identifier for the app in the respective app store (either iOS or Android). The app ID is needed to create the correct install URL for the app. It ensures the QR code links directly to the correct app in the app store, so users can easily download it.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up the 'Generate an APP Install QR Code' action in the Generate Code Actions app by Integration Glue:
Step 1: Add the Action to the Workflow
- Open your HubSpot workflow editor.
- Click the "+" button to add a new action.
- From the available app actions, select Generate Code Actions and choose 'Generate an APP Install QR Code'.
Step 2: Define the Naming Convention for the QR Code File Name
- Title: Set the Naming Convention for QR Code File
- In the action setup panel, locate the 'Naming convention for the QR code file names' field.
- Specify a naming pattern for the QR code file. For example, you might want the QR code file name to include details like the app name, record ID, or date. This helps keep file names consistent and organized.
Step 3: Select the Folder ID Where the QR Code Will Be Saved
- Title: Choose the Folder to Save the QR Code
- Find the 'Folder ID (where the QR code will be saved)' field.
- Enter the Folder ID of the HubSpot folder where the generated QR code will be stored. If you're unsure about the folder ID, you can navigate to the File Manager in HubSpot and find the ID for the desired folder.
Step 4: Set the File Visibility
- Title: Set File Visibility
- Locate the 'File visibility of the saved QR code' field.
- Choose whether the QR code file should be public (anyone can access it) or private (only specific users or teams can access it). Select the appropriate visibility level based on your needs.
Step 5: Choose the Property to Save the File URL
- Title: Choose Property to Save the QR Code URL
- Find the 'Property to save file URL of the QR code' field.
- Select the HubSpot property where the QR code URL will be stored. This URL will link directly to the saved QR code, allowing you to access it later.
Step 6: Associate the QR Code to the Enrolled Record as an Attachment
- Title: Attach QR Code to Record
- Locate the 'Associate QR code to the enrolled record as an attachment' field.
- If you want the QR code to be attached to the enrolled record (e.g., contact, deal, or ticket), enable this option. This will ensure the QR code is linked directly to the record that triggered the workflow.
Step 7: Choose the App Store for the Install URL (iOS or Android)
- Title: Select the App Store for the QR Code
- Find the 'Which app store do you want to create an install URL for (iOS or Android)?' field.
- Choose whether the QR code should link to the iOS (Apple App Store) or Android (Google Play Store) for app installation.
Step 8: Enter the App ID
- Title: Enter the App ID
- Locate the 'Enter the app ID' field.
- Provide the unique app ID for the app you are linking to. This ID is used to generate the correct install URL for the app. The app ID is typically found in the app store listing (e.g., for iOS, it’s the ID from the app's App Store URL).
Step 9: Save and Test the Workflow
- Once all fields are filled out, click Save to finalize the setup.
- To test the workflow:
- Trigger the workflow and ensure that the QR code is generated correctly.
- Check that the QR code file is saved in the specified folder with the correct naming convention.
- Verify that the QR code URL is saved in the chosen property.
- Ensure the QR code links to the correct app store and that it works as expected.
