Show HN: Scan QR codes to check in guests registered via Google Forms

Hi HN!

I made a no-code platform for creating physical data collection apps, using QR codes [1]. It does not yet have a self-service config UI though, which limits adoption.

That's why I recently released a Google Forms™ add-on for QR code check-in, based on the platform. This focused use-case makes it easy to provide a fully self-service config UI.

How it works:

1. Create your Google Form as you normally would [2]

2. Activate the add-on if you hadn't already [3]

3. Craft a confirmation email to be sent to each form responder

Upon each form submission, the add-on will send a PDF with a unique QR code (a V4 UUID) to the responder.

Have guests present this code at the event, and record check-ins in bulk using the included QR scanner.

See here [4] for more information, or try the Google Sheets™ version [5] (which doesn't send email).
