## Tools

### Collect Data With Questions

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_CONFIGURE_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/

### Configure Direct Scan URL (DSU)

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_CONFIGURE_DSU`

Configure Direct Scan URL (DSU) for a CodeREADr service to enable device-to-server scan posting. Use this action to set up or update the DSU postback URL for a service. When configured, scans are posted directly from the scanning device to your specified URL, bypassing CodeREADr servers (useful for compliance or local network scanning). Prerequisites: - A valid service_id (use CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SERVICES to list available services) - A publicly accessible HTTPS endpoint to receive scan data Note: This action updates the postback_url for the service. For services with validation_method='postback', this is the primary scan destination. For other validation methods, this configures DSU as a secondary feature.

### Configure CodeREADr Kiosk Mode

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_CONFIGURE_KIOSK_MODE`

Tool to enable and configure Kiosk Mode (Locked Mode) on a CodeREADr service. Kiosk Mode locks the scanning app to a specific service for unattended use. Use this after creating a service to set up dedicated scanning kiosks.

### Configure Picking, Delivery & Receiving App

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_CONFIGURE_PICKING_DELIVERY_APP`

Configure a CodeREADr service for picking, delivery, and receiving workflows. This action updates an existing service with postback URL configuration and optionally creates custom questions for data collection during scans. Use this when you need to: - Set up real-time scan notifications to your server - Add custom data collection questions to a scanning workflow - Configure delivery/receiving verification workflows

### Configure CodeREADr Postback URL

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_CONFIGURE_POSTBACK_URL`

Configure a real-time postback URL for a CodeREADr service. Use this action to set up or modify where scan data is forwarded in real-time. When configured, each barcode scan will trigger an HTTP POST to your specified URL with the scan data. This is ideal for integrating CodeREADr with external systems that need immediate notification of scan events. Prerequisites: - The service must already exist (use CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SERVICES to list available services) - The postback URL must be accessible and able to receive POST requests Note: This action uses the CodeREADr services/update API endpoint.

### Create CodeREADr Service

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_CREATE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_DELETE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_DELETE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_DELETE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_DELETE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_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.

### Manage CodeREADr Response Fields

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_MANAGE_RESPONSE_FIELDS`

Configure service settings that control what data is included in scan responses. Use this to set up postback URLs, enable GPS data, or configure scan properties for a service. At least one optional parameter must be provided to update.

### Retrieve CodeREADr Databases

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SCANS`

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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_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.

### Set Admin PIN

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_SET_ADMIN_PIN`

Set or update the administrator PIN/password for Kiosk Mode on a specific service. Kiosk Mode locks down the CodeREADr app for unattended scanning. The admin password is required to unlock the kiosk and access admin settings like changing services or uploading scans. This action uses the services API with kiosk_mode_config to configure the PIN.

### Update CodeREADr Question

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_UPDATE_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

**Slug:** `CODEREADR_UPDATE_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
