This type of platform is also made for people who donāt know anything about coding but make an effort anywayā¦ 
you will see you will progress very quicklyā¦
you can also buy the solution and learn about the template you boughtā¦
Iām going to sleep now, but if you canāt find a solution in 12 hoursā¦ click that imageā¦ and we can start working
I canāt see anywhere that I can buy the solution, I have checked all the templates.
Also I think the fact that I have built this app entirely in less than 2 days is testament to the fact that I am making the effort!

you canāt buy a solutionā¦ you can buy expert time to work on the solutionā¦ unless there is a ready template for this issueā¦ then yesā¦ btw your problem triggered me because I use to own an event venueā¦ so I might create a template for thatā¦ not now, but in 2 or 3 weeks from nowā¦ unless I got hired for this

To continue the conversation, native QR code scanning is (currently) only available for enterprise customers. Iād reach out to @Ian or @Sean_Martin for details.
Any other solution will be a bit hacky. This is the best implementation of QR Iāve seen so far:

not trueā¦ you can scan QR using a phone appā¦ then record device IDā¦when the user enter provide URL in the QRā¦ and then with Glide logic columns, you can do whatever you want with itā¦ and boost it with G scripts and APIs
Right! I know QR scanning is possible, but it isnāt a native Glide feature.
Hey @Robert_Petitto ā¦ I knowā¦ but I was explaining reverse QR scanningā¦ when a user scans QR and is taken to the websiteā¦ this way you can actually use glideā¦ probably you did not bother to read the whole conversationā¦ lol

No, I read the whole thingāQR scanning with Glide really interests me, but there just isnāt an all-in-one native solution yet.
Glide can provide a deeplink, and a QR code to that deeplink but Glide canāt natively SCAN a QR code yet (at least not for non enterprise customers). So, all I was saying that any solution we come up with, it wonāt be an all-in-one solutionā¦itās going to have to rely on outside apps (camera app to scan QR code) and/or apis/scripts to process the QR code, etc.

@Playmedia there is a paid alternative here. We have a third party tool that you can use to have a QR scanner natively in your Glide app. Iād be happy to chat about it in more detail. Feel free to book time on my calendar here: Meetings

Lots of interesting and valuable discussion above.
BUT Iām back to my original solution at the top of the page. I donāt understand why scanning a bar code would add any significant delay to entry. I have Glide apps that scan bar codes and the result is instant.
Did you test with an App that only use Glide Tables and NOT a Google spreadsheet? Glide tables are quicker.
Maybe worth testing?

Hi Simon,
I added the barcode and the barcode scanner but even once I aligned the scanner to the barcode it took a long time to go green. Once it went green there was no action.
Iām not precious on QR codes I just want the system to work and display how many times the guests have visited our business.
Well I just created this minimal app to prove to myself it is still fast.
Yes, itās instant. You can either enter a number in the app and scan the bar code using another device, or simply tap scan and go and find an object in your house with a bar code like a book or a bottle of wine.
Itās absolutely instant for me. Are you sure you were using columns with numbers only and not text?
Ok so that worked and it wasnāt too bad in terms of scanning speed.
I just scanned a random bar code from Google.
Now how would I get that to register a tally against the number of visits a guest has made?
In an ideal world I would be able to see:
A running tally of how many times a guest has been scanned and
Dates and times of each visit?
Thanks
Glad it worked for you.
What you need to do is modify the button so that instead of selecting āscan bar codeā from the list of action options, you select new custom action. In this way you can add a āprogramā of actions with every scan. The program will include:
- adding a row to Glide Table called Guest Log that will contain various useful columns
- Adding the row will come with the ability to set some columns in that row, e.g. scanned number, current date, etcā¦
- The Guest log will contain a relationship that relates the scanned number with a list of membership ID numbers
- The Guest log will have a single value column that focuses on the last guest scanned
- The app will then display data relating to the last guest scanned, e.g. are they a member, date of last entry, any comments, how many times they have ever entered, date of last entry, name & photo, etcā¦
I can probably add those features to the demo app and share it with you if you can wait a whileā¦
