To integrate custom QR codes with order confirmation emails in Webflow for table reservations at an event, you can follow these steps:

  1. Generate QR codes: Use a QR code generator to create unique QR codes for each table reservation. There are many online QR code generators available that allow you to input custom information, such as reservation details or a unique identifier for each table.

  2. Save QR codes: Save the generated QR codes as image files (e.g., PNG or JPEG) on your computer. Ensure you have a separate QR code for each reservation.

  3. Upload QR codes to Webflow: Go to your Webflow project and navigate to the Designer. Open the page where you want to include the QR code, such as the order confirmation email template. Add an Image element to the email template, and upload the corresponding QR code image for each reservation.

  4. Link QR codes to reservation details: To make the QR code interactive and link it to the reservation details, you'll need to use Webflow's dynamic fields. For example, you can create a "Reservation ID" field in your CMS collection that uniquely identifies each reservation. Then, in the Image element settings, use the dynamic embed feature to link the QR code to the corresponding reservation details page by inserting the CMS item URL and the Reservation ID field.

  5. Customize email templates: Modify the order confirmation email template in Webflow's CMS to include the QR code images with reservation details. You can use the Rich Text Editor or custom code to design the email template as desired. Make sure to include clear instructions for guests on how to utilize the QR code for table reservations.

  6. Test and preview: Before sending out any order confirmation emails, ensure to test and preview them. Double-check that each QR code is functional and takes the guest to the correct reservation details page.

By integrating custom QR codes with order confirmation emails in Webflow, you are providing an efficient and convenient way for guests to have proof of their table reservation for an event. It also adds a touch of professionalism to the reservation process.
