Make sent payment links easy to scan
Send a message with a payment or booking link and have Notis create a QR code image you can reuse in printed materials or follow-up.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Generate Barcode or QR Code
Tool to generate barcodes or qr codes using zebra crossing (zxing). use when you need a barcode or qr code image from text values.
Why this helps
Copying URLs into a separate QR generator adds another task and makes useful links easy to lose.
- Reuse payment and booking links in print or on screen
- Avoid switching to a separate QR code tool
- Keep the generated QR image tied to the email context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for sent payment links.
- 3Tell Notis to find a payment or booking URL in each sent message and use Api2pdf to generate a QR code image from it.
- 4Pick the Gmail Email Sent trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sent email that contains a link.
