I have a bot that generates PDFs with QR codes through the Google URL that I believe I found on this forum. I have virtual columns with type of image, using a concatenation of the url and the data I want to pass through as the QR code. Some time yesterday, it stopped working for one of the 3 QR codes we generate, but today it is no longer working for all three. I ran the formula test, found one of the URLs that is being generated, went to it in Chrome manually and it appears fine. Just doesn’t appear in the PDF template. Please see screenshots attached. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

Does the app show the image fine?
I’m having this same problem, it seems that something must of gone down on googles side as all my previous QR codes have now broken and don’t show anywhere.
No, the app was not showing the QR code images either.
Strangely, the QR codes started appearing again yesterday. I’m thinking this may confirm that something was down on Google’s side.
I would propose to contact support so devs could debug the reason.
Hi,
I’m having the same problem.
Now I’m using a temporary solution of changing a qr-code generator address from:
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=250x250&cht=qr&chl=
to:
https://qrcode.tec-it.com/API/QRCode?data=

Hi Did you find solution to this issue as Even i am facing the same issue since Thursday.
Now it is working
It is not working for me
Still it is not working for me, i have been using from from JUN-23, this is the first time getting the issue. Is there any modifications required to URL ?
It started working again yesterday and is now down again
When you are using the alternative, how do you set up the image size? Can you please share the code?
Since last week for me it seems to function only at certain hours of the day. Afternoon works but mornings do not.
Same here! It’s not working or working sometimes.
We started experiencing service outages at about 1:00 PM EST last Thursday, January 4. The service resumed after about an hour. We then experienced an outage starting at about 10:30 AM EST today (Monday, January 8 ) that has now continued through 12:20 PM EST.
Is this provider safe to use?
Same Here, It is not working
Thanks. I switched over to this and it works well. You can go to the main link, and there is an “API” tab on the right that shows how you can customize the URL to change the image size, colors, etc.
