qrdex
Create, manage, and track QR codes using the QRdex.io REST API. Use when working with QR code generation, URL shortening with QR codes, WiFi QR codes, email/SMS/WhatsApp QR codes, scan tracking, or any QRdex.io operations. Supports all QR types (url, email, telephone, sms, whatsapp, wifi) with customizable colors and shapes.
Why use this skill?
Use the QRdex skill for OpenClaw to generate, track, and manage custom QR codes. Supports Wi-Fi, URLs, and messaging types via REST API.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sebastienb/qrdexWhat This Skill Does
The QRdex skill empowers the OpenClaw AI agent to interface directly with the QRdex.io REST API. It enables users to programmatically generate, manage, retrieve, and delete QR codes covering a wide range of formats including URLs, emails, telephone numbers, SMS, WhatsApp links, and Wi-Fi configurations. Beyond simple creation, the skill supports full lifecycle management of QR codes, allowing for real-time scan tracking and custom styling, such as modifying foreground colors, background colors, and QR shapes, to ensure brand alignment.
Installation
To begin using the QRdex skill, ensure you have the OpenClaw environment initialized. Run the following command in your terminal to pull the skill into your project:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sebastienb/qrdex
Once installed, you must obtain an API key from your QRdex.io dashboard under 'Team Settings' > 'API'. Note that this requires a Growth plan or higher. Set this key as an environment variable to authenticate requests: export QRDEX_API_KEY="your-api-key". You can then verify the installation by calling the provided Python helper script, scripts/qrdex_api.py, to list existing QR codes in your account.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for developers building marketing automation tools or businesses needing to deploy dynamic physical-to-digital touchpoints. Common use cases include:
- Generating temporary Wi-Fi access codes for office guests or events.
- Automating marketing campaigns by creating unique URLs with scan tracking for A/B testing.
- Streamlining customer service through automated WhatsApp or email QR codes displayed on signage.
- Integrating QR code generation into CMS workflows to provide instant access to product landing pages.
Example Prompts
- "Create a new QR code for our guest Wi-Fi network named 'CoffeeShop_Guest' with the password 'Espresso2024' and set it to a rounded shape."
- "List all my existing QR codes and then delete the one titled 'Old Promotion' to keep my dashboard clean."
- "Generate a WhatsApp QR code that initiates a pre-filled message saying 'I'm interested in a demo' to the phone number +15550199."
Tips & Limitations
When using the QRdex skill, always remember that API access is restricted to the Growth plan tier. If you receive an authorization error, check your environment variable configuration. For custom styling, ensure you use valid hex color codes; invalid strings may result in API rejection. Since the skill performs a soft-delete, you should handle code cleanup carefully. Always leverage the scan tracking feature to gain data-driven insights into how your audience interacts with your offline assets.
