Create documents with barcodes from template

When using AutomatedDocs you may need to add a barcode to your generated document. To do so please include in your template the field as:

${BARCODE_variable-name:CODE_TYPE:WIDTH}

Please note we only generate the 'bars' part of a barcode, without text below the barcode. If you want text of the code below the barcode, you could add it using another field.

Parameters

  • variable-name The name of the variable you will send using our API or synchronize from one of our integrations.
  • CODE_TYPE The type of barcode. See the list below for supported types.
  • WIDTH the width of the generated barcode image in pixels.

Example

To generate a CODE 128 barcode with a width of 90 pixels, use:

${BARCODE_variable-name:CODE_128:90}

This will produce a barcode as shown below:
