Codereadr actions 16

Every Codereadr action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.

Collect Data With Questions

Create and attach custom questions to a CodeREADr service for data collection after scans. Use this to configure forms that collect additional information from users after each barcode scan. Requires a valid service ID from CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SERVICES or CODEREADR_CREATE_SERVICE.

Configure CodeREADr Connector

Helper to guide configuring the CodeREADr Connector for Google Sheets. There is no public API to programmatically create connector configurations. This tool validates your API connectivity (optional) and returns clear steps to proceed via the Google Sheets Add-on UI: https://www.codereadr.com/knowledgebase/codereadr-connector-add-on/

Create CodeREADr Service

Creates a new CodeREADr service (barcode scanning workflow configuration). A service defines how barcode scans are processed - whether they're simply recorded, validated against a database, forwarded to an external URL, or display web content. Each validation_method type has different required parameters: 'database'/'ondevicedatabase' require database_id, 'postback' requires postback_url, 'webview' requires description (URL/HTML).

Delete CodeREADr Database

Delete a CodeREADr validation database by its ID. This permanently removes the database and all its barcode values. Use with caution. Note: A database cannot be deleted if it is currently linked to one or more services. You must unlink those services from the database first. Example: "Delete database with ID 1340798"

Delete Device

Tool to delete a device from CodeREADr. Uses the CodeREADr legacy API with section=devices and action=delete parameters. Note: Device deletion may have limited support in the CodeREADr API - only 'retrieve' and 'update' actions are officially documented for devices.

Delete Custom Question

Permanently deletes one or more custom questions from your CodeREADr account. Questions are used to collect additional data after scans. Once deleted, the question and all associated answer options are removed. This action cannot be undone.

Delete CodeREADr Service

Delete a CodeREADr service by its numeric ID. Use this to permanently remove a service/workflow configuration from your account. Note: This is a destructive action and cannot be undone. You can delete a single service, multiple services (comma-separated IDs), or all services. Example: "Delete service with ID 12345"

Delete CodeREADr User

Deletes an existing user account from CodeREADr. Uses the CodeREADr legacy API endpoint (POST /api/ with section=users, action=delete). The user_id parameter can be a single ID, comma-separated list of IDs, or 'all'. Note: You cannot delete the account owner's app-user. The API will return an error if an invalid user_id is provided.

Generate Scan Link

Generates a CodeREADr scan link URI that opens the CodeREADr mobile app with a pre-filled scan value. Use this tool when you need to create clickable links that launch the CodeREADr scanner with a specific barcode, QR code, or identifier already entered.

List Supported Barcode Types

Lists barcode symbologies supported by CodeREADr for scanning. Returns 1D barcodes (Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC, Codabar, etc.), 2D barcodes (QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF-417, Aztec, etc.), and specialized formats. Use this to verify if a specific barcode type is supported before scanning.

Retrieve CodeREADr Databases

Retrieves all validation databases configured in your CodeREADr account. Use this to list databases for barcode validation, see their IDs, names, item counts, and which services they're linked to.

Retrieve Devices

Retrieve a list of devices registered to your CodeREADr account. This tool fetches information about devices linked to your account, including device IDs, UDIDs, names, and creation timestamps. Use this to monitor which devices have access to your CodeREADr services.

Retrieve Scan Records

Retrieve scan records from your CodeREADr account. Scans are the core data collected by CodeREADr when users scan barcodes using the mobile app. Each scan record includes the barcode value, timestamp, device info, validation status, and any collected responses. Use filters to narrow down results by service, user, device, date range, or status. Returns scan records in batches. Use limit and offset parameters for pagination.

Retrieve CodeREADr Services

Retrieve configured services from your CodeREADr account. Services are the core organizational units in CodeREADr that define how barcode scans are validated and processed. Use this action to list all services or retrieve specific services by ID.

Update CodeREADr Question

Add answer options to an existing CodeREADr question. Use this to add selectable answers for checkbox, dropdown, or option-type questions. The CodeREADr API does not support updating question text - to change text, delete and recreate the question.

Update CodeREADr Service

Update an existing CodeREADr service configuration. Use this action to modify settings of a service by its ID. Only specified fields will be updated - omitted fields retain their current values. Common use cases: - Renaming a service - Changing postback/webhook URL - Enabling/disabling GPS tracking - Modifying duplicate scan handling - Setting time restrictions for service availability
