I'm creating an office Desk Reservation system and I want to take the next step to make it even more user friendly by adding a unique QR Code to each Desk, so employees can walk up to the desk, scan the QR Code, and have the Desk Registration Form open with the Desk Number from the QR code they scanned Prefilled.

I'm currently stuck on how to get the QR code's information to Prefill data in a single Form...and I dont want to make a Form for Each desk, that would be silly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey there, miniExtensions can help you with this! Here's how: you'd first generate a URL for each desk using a formula field in Airtable. That URL contains the link to the form (can be a miniExtensions form, or just a plain Airtable form if you don't need any advanced features), as well as a prefill parameter to fill out the desk number (or link the desk record). You'd then run our QR code generator automation to generate QR codes using that formula field for each of your records. And that's it! Just stick the QR codes on your desks and you're good to go!
