Overview of Photo Verification with CodeREADr
The Photo Verification feature in the CodeREADr app enables users to scan a barcode, capture a photo, and link the photo to associated data. This functionality is commonly used for ID verification but can also apply to asset tracking, location management, and more.
With advancements in the platform, the Photo Postback feature has been replaced by the Curated Table Builder, offering significantly improved functionality. However, the Webify option remains supported for users needing specific features.

Webify for Photo Display
The Webify feature allows users to link photos stored in an existing database to scanned barcodes. By uploading your database to CodeREADr’s servers, you can display photos and associated content when IDs are scanned.
How to Use Webify:
- Prepare your database with two columns:
- Column 1: Barcode value (ID).
- Column 2: HTML tag containing the URL of the photo.
- Include an HTML tag in the second column to define how the image appears in the app.
- Example: Use the Image + HTML tag example here for guidance.
