Power Automate Examples
Create QR or Barcode
We use our homepage URL which we want to display in a QR Code.
We choose PNG as the Output format.
To save it in SharePoint you need to choose File response as the File Content setting.
Add embedded image
We now add an embedded image into the center of the QR code – for example, our logo or an icon. This image will appear in the middle of the QR or barcode.
Opacity controls how transparent the embedded image should be.
Ratio defines the size of the embedded image relative to the full QR or barcode. This is useful if you want to add branding to the code while keeping it scannable.
