It sounds like you’re on the right track! Let me break down the process to make sure everything is set up correctly:
- Creating a New User ID in Adalo:
Yes, it’s correct to create a unique ID for each user. This ID will help you identify each user individually and associate their data (like transactions) correctly.
In Adalo, you typically have a Users collection where each user has a unique ID field (this is automatically created when you add a new user).
- Creating QR Code for Payments with User ID:
If you are using Zapier to automate the process, you can set up a Zap that triggers when a new transaction is created in your database.
Zapier Workflow:
When a user completes a payment, a new transaction is created in the Transactions collection.
Zapier can then generate a QR code using the user’s unique ID associated with that transaction (for example, using a QR code generation tool in Zapier like “QRCode by Zapier”).
The QR code is then sent back to Adalo or stored somewhere (like in your Transactions collection or User profile), where you can display it.
- Automating Transactions and QR Code Generation:
Since you’ve already set up the Transactions form in Adalo and adapted it, the next steps seem to be working with Zapier to trigger the creation of QR codes when a new transaction is added.
Your Zapier configuration should look something like this:
Trigger: New transaction in Adalo (via Adalo’s API or Make/Integromat).
Action 1: Generate QR code using the user’s unique ID from the transaction data.
Action 2: Store or display the QR code (in the user’s profile or transaction record).
- Reviewing Your Settings:
If you’ve followed this workflow and have successfully tested it, then yes, your settings are correct. The key things to check are:
User ID is correctly associated with each transaction.
The QR code is generated properly based on the user’s ID (you can test it by manually triggering a transaction and confirming the QR code creation).
The QR code is stored or displayed properly in your app after the transaction.
Final Thoughts:
You seem to be on the right path! Just ensure that:
The ID is correctly linked to both the User and Transaction collections.
The Zapier workflow is triggered automatically upon new transactions.
The QR code is being generated and displayed as expected.
