Adding QR Code in a confirmation e-mail

Nathan Jones
$organization

Hi everyone,

Found this in the Tessitura v.15 recipe books:https://www.tessituranetwork.com/Help_System/Content/Recipe%20Books/HTML%20Templates/Order%20Barcode.htm

I wanted to see if anyone has had any success in using it. We have a separate ticket e-mail that goes out after the confirmation, but we wanted to know if it is possible to have a QR code on the confirmation e-mail as well. Feel free to let me know if you know of any better way to get a QR Code onto a confirmation e-mail or if you have an example of what your confirmation e-mail looks like with a QR code embedded.

Thank you!

    I've been using the Google Charts API because it generates an actual image instead of an SVG, so it's printable and displays properly on devices in dark mode. Create an image element and feed the API the info to be coded (Order Number) and QR code parameters via the url.

    This is how it appears in our TNEW Confirmation:
    <tr>
     <td colspan="2" valign="top" align="center" style="font-family:  <%=ced.EmailFont%>; background-color: #FFFFFF">
     <img src="chart.googleapis.com/chart<%= OrderData.OrderNumber %>&chs=150x150&cht=qr&chld=H|0"/><br>
     <i>Show this QR code at the main entrance for quick entry; or, use the individual tickets we will email shortly.</i>
     </td>
     </tr>

    True, Tessitura's generator@Raw(Model.GetQRCode builds the qr code in html, so you have to test carefully to make sure your email format works on all the phones and in dark mode (typically with some padding and care in your color selections).   On the other hand, with Google you can wind up with things like, "Warning: This API is deprecated. Please use the actively maintained Google Charts API instead. " and "Important: While the dynamic and interactive Google Charts are actively maintained, we officially deprecated the static Google Image Charts way back in 2012. It was turned off on March 18, 2019."
