Common Errors

Parameter 'format' of 'GenerateQRCode' can not be null

If the Format field value is null or empty, the step will cause an error.

To correct this, set the mapping of the Format field to Constant and select the desired image format type.

Exception Message:

QR encoding error! Data segment can't be empty

If the Value field is empty or null, the step will cause an error.

To correct this, ensure that a String value is mapped or entered.
