We are interested in bringing ticket data (including bar code) into our order confirmation email. We talked a bit with Heather Reynolds from Tessitura and it sounds like this is possible using the PrintTickets API call to generate the bar code data, which could then be added via HTML into the email receipts generated by SendOrderConfirmationEmail. Before we begin work on this, we wanted to open this up to the community. Has anyone done something like this sucessfully (or do you have a different approach)? And if so, would you be willing to share your code? Thanks!
I am currently working on code which will after purchasing a ticket will retrieve the ticket data using the PrintTickets API method on the Order # then retrieving the existing Tessitura PDF Template based on [designno] field and then merging the data into the PDF using a product called DynamicPDF. The newly merged PDF will then be displayed on the screen for immediate printing. I'm currently trying to figure out how to convert the Bar code field from the tessitura dataset into a numeric with the proper encoding to work with Dynamic PDF. Don't mind sharing the code after it's working. Currently trying to see if someone knows the proper way to convert the Byte array into a numeric or string. This option will be used for concierge service to order tickets for customers who do not have a login and allow them to print immediately without waiting for an email.
