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.
