Common questions

Can I use SVG format for barcodes?

SVG is only supported for QR codes. All 1D barcode types (Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 39) produce PNG files.

What if my source field value is empty?

Records with empty source fields are skipped. An error or skip is logged in the execution log.

Can I generate a QR code that links to my form?

Yes. Create a Formula field in Airtable that builds the form URL with the record ID ("https://app.filla.io/forms/{formId}/" & RECORD_ID()), then point the QR generator at that formula field.
