    Hi,

    I have a form that a consultant will answer to generate a utm form for their client.
    This form will allow us to get multiple student leads from a single QR CODE, with many fields filled.

    Ex:

    Then it will create a tagged url (THIS IS WORKING GREAT)

    As you can see bellow:

    Already tried to just copy the url as it's seen above.

    IFRAME

    I tried to insert a url api.qr.server.com..... but i need to Encode the url generated in {input19} to work. But I cant find a way.


    Can you help me? Is there another way?
    I just need to create a single QRCODE as the url formed in previous step.

    Hi ecommercerennova,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. To generate a QR code using Dynamic QR Code, the field label should be used, which is the paragraph field doesn't have. Unfortunately, using the paragraph field that contains the URL generated from the previous fields to generate a QR code is not possible.

    You can try to use the QR Code widget to generate a QR code for your form. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.

    2. In the Form Elements menu, under the Widgets tab, search and choose the QR Code widget, and drag and drop it to your form.

    3. In the windows pop up, paste the paragraph text to generate a QR code in the Message to encode under the General tab.

    4. Click on Update button to save it.

    Hi, Reymae

    I solved differently and think it's the best UX possible.
    In the greeting area we direct to a link that captures the previous answers. Worked great!

    That's a real good practice to show to others. :)
