Im using enterprise version now. My client wants to have this feature. Can i know if this is possible.

  • We have boards, inside them several columns.
  • I want to scan a specific QR related to a column and once scanned it will capture the time and date as of scanned.

Thank You

Hello @Sana ,
I believe it may not be possible to achieve this functionality solely using Monday.com. You might need a third-party tool to capture the date and time during the scan. This will be feasible only if you have a solid understanding of APIs, as your question indicates a requirement for very specific data.

We recently released an app called QR Flow that allows you to do that. Here is step-by-step how you can do it using this app:

  1. Prepare a files column to save QR codes and a date column to save the scan time. Here is a board I’ll be using:

  1. Create automation for creating QR codes. You can name QR code whatever you like and select single-use or multi-use based on your use case (single scan QR codes can be used only once)

  1. Create a custom automation using trigger introduced by the QR Flow app. As an action set “set date” action (monday.com native action). The name must much the name from the previous automation.

  1. Create a new item and see the QR code being generated (first automation will run):

Hey @Sana! Just came across this thread, I know it’s a bit old, but I wanted to share a solution that might help in case you’re still looking or others find this useful.

I have the exact solution for this using QR Item Tracker on monday.com - it automatically record scan time when a QR Code is scanned.

It aligns perfectly with what you described.
