Barcode Scanner for Airtable Forms

Scan barcodes with your camera while using Airtable Forms!
⚠️ Update

This is now a feature of the miniExtensions Form. It is far more capable and should be used as replacement. You can still use this automation if you prefer to continue using the Airtable form.

With this automation, you can scan barcodes using your phone (or desktop browser) and then pass the scanned barcode to an Airtable form. It supports over 10 different barcode types.

This tool is particularly useful if you’d like your employees to scan inventory and add it to your Airtable base without giving them access to the base.

Supported Barcode Types

• Code 128
• EAN, EAN 8
• Code 39, Code 39 VIN
• Codebar
• UPC, UPC-E
• i2of5, 2of5
• Code 93
