We have a SharePoint custom list which contain those fields:-
1) ID
2) Title
3) ProductName
now we want to build a QR code image from the above field such as
ID-Title-ProductName
and store the image as an attachment inside the list item. so can we do this using a power app button control inside our canvas app?
Totally possible,
You just need this API from google https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=300x300&chl= + <add your text here>
Take this post as a reference QR Code generator - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
You could even do it automatically via a flow, just call the URL replacing the variables, saving it in the list, no need for a canvas app, unless you need to manage this row per row
hope this helps
@Anonymous i know i can do it using Power Automate Flow, my question is if i can do it inside Power Apps. And i need a canvas app because users will be searching for the items inside the canvas app and click to generate the QR code..
Second question.. as i know we can not make external api calls inside power apps so how i will be calling this API https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=300x300&chl= ?
Thanks
Sorry for the delay, so Google API will be used as the Image source (in an image control), the URL returns the QR image, like this:
however if you want to save it, you will need a flow, e.g. using OneDrive connector
let me know if this helps
