Getting Started Guide (First 30 Minutes)
This guide gets you from account access to a verified scan event.
1. Access your account and open the webapp
- Sign in with your configured authentication method.
- Open the webapp and confirm navigation access to Staging and Active tag views.
2. Create two Draft tags in Staging
Create one of each type:
- Direct tag:
- Name and description
- Destination `link`
- Hyper tag:
- Name and description
- `webhook` URL
- Optional JSON `payload`
3. Validate configuration fields
Before activation:
- Confirm the Direct link is correct and reachable.
- Confirm Hyper webhook endpoint and payload JSON are valid.
- Ensure expected ownership and permissions are in place.
4. Activate tags and download QR
- Activate each draft tag.
- Download each QR code from the drawer.
- Place codes in a controlled test environment.
5. Run test scans
- Scan the Direct tag and verify redirect behavior.
- Scan the Hyper tag and verify webhook response behavior.
6. Verify events in analytics context
For active tags, open the drawer and inspect recent scan chart activity.
Confirm:
- Events are visible in the last 30-day view.
- Success/failure behavior matches expected outcomes.
Troubleshooting checklist
- `permission-denied` on events read: update Firestore rules for `events` read access.
- Query index error: create the `events(tagId ASC, timestamp ASC)` index.
- Hyper execution failures: verify webhook URL availability and payload schema.
- Missing tag updates: confirm authenticated user owns the tag document when required.
