Hello there, I was wondering, can I create a QR code in Glide from a string of numbers? Because it seems to work only with URLs, I also tried to switch the “card number” column to a number column but it gave the same result.

If not, is there another way to do it, I have Glide free plan tho, so I cannot use APIs.

Hi, in theory you can use a template by typing in it [https://quickchart.io/qr?text=123](https://quickchart.io/qr?text=123), where you insert the column name instead of 123. Then just output it to the image in the application. But perhaps there are either simpler or more convenient ways.

That seems like a bug to me. There is no reason for it not to work with numbers, especially numbers formatted as a text string.

I decided to see if I could come up with something about the absence of QR when there is a number in the cell. For some reason, Glide does not perceive cells that contain only numbers. If you add any other characters, even a space, then everything works.
