Scan Links

What is a CodeREADr Scan Link?

It’s a regular web link using a custom URI scheme that defines the scan value the app should receive when the link is visited. It’s normally used for replacing the app’s default Lookup view. We allow this by displaying a URL you provide in its place.

“codereadr://scan/?id=SCAN_VALUE”

Simply, create webpages with links using the custom scheme. When an app-user clicks a Scan Link, the app will handle it as a scan submitted to the currently selected service.

1. Create a webpage with Scan Links.

2. Edit your service on the Advanced settings page and enter your URL under Enable custom web view “Lookup.”
