Generate QR Codes from URLs with QR Server API and Downloadable Images

This n8n workflow simplifies the process of generating QR codes from user-submitted URLs and provides them as downloadable images. It leverages the QR Server API to create the QR codes dynamically.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

  1. Triggers on Form Submission: It starts when a user submits a URL through an n8n form.
  2. Generates QR Code: It makes an HTTP request to the QR Server API, passing the submitted URL as a parameter to generate a QR code image.
  3. Displays QR Code: The generated QR code image is then displayed back to the user via the n8n form, allowing them to download it.

Prerequisites/Requirements

  • n8n Instance: You need a running n8n instance to import and execute this workflow.
  • Internet Connection: The workflow requires an internet connection to access the QR Server API.
  • QR Server API: This workflow uses the public QR Server API (http://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/). No API key is required for basic usage.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
  2. Activate the Workflow: Ensure the workflow is activated to start listening for form submissions.
  3. Access the Form:
    • The workflow includes an "n8n Form Trigger" node. Once the workflow is active, you can find the public URL for this form by clicking on the "n8n Form Trigger" node and looking for the "Form URL" in its settings.
    • Share this URL with users who need to generate QR codes.
  4. Submit a URL: Users will visit the form URL, enter a URL they want to convert into a QR code, and submit the form.
  5. Download QR Code: After submission, the form will display the generated QR code image, which can then be downloaded by the user.

Note: The "Sticky Note" node in the workflow is for documentation purposes and does not affect the workflow's execution.

Track meal nutrition from meal photos with LINE, Google Gemini and Google Sheets

AI Meal Nutrition Tracker with LINE and Google Sheets Who's it for This workflow is designed for health-conscious individuals, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to track their daily food intake without manual calorie counting. It is best suited for users who want a simple, AI-powered meal logging system that analyzes food photos one at a time and provides instant nutritional feedback via LINE. What it does This workflow processes a single meal photo sent via LINE, analyzes it using Google Gemini AI to identify foods and estimate nutritional content, and stores the data in Google Sheets for tracking. The workflow focuses on simplicity and encouragement: it receives a meal image, performs AI-based food recognition, estimates calories and macronutrients, calculates a health score, provides personalized advice, and replies with a detailed nutritional breakdown on LINE. How it works A single meal photo is sent to the LINE bot. The workflow is triggered via a LINE webhook. The image file is downloaded and sent to Google Gemini AI for food analysis. The AI identifies foods and estimates nutritional values (calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber). A health score (1-10) is calculated with personalized improvement tips. The data is appended to Google Sheets for meal history tracking. The image is uploaded to Google Drive for reference. A formatted nutritional report with advice is sent back as a LINE reply. This workflow is intentionally designed to handle one image per execution. Requirements To use this workflow, you will need: A LINE Messaging API account A Google Gemini API key A Google account with access to Google Sheets and Google Drive A Google Sheets document with the following column names: Date Time Meal Type Food Items Calories Protein (g) Carbs (g) Fat (g) Fiber (g) Health Score Advice Image URL Important limitations This workflow does not support multiple images sent in a single message. Sending images in quick succession may trigger multiple executions and lead to unexpected results. Only the first image in an event payload is processed. Nutritional values are AI estimates based on visual analysis and typical serving sizes. Accuracy depends on image quality, lighting, and food visibility. This tool should not replace professional dietary advice. These limitations are intentional to keep the workflow simple and easy to understand. How to set up Create a LINE Messaging API channel and obtain a Channel Access Token. Generate a Google Gemini API key. Update the Config node with your LINE token, Google Sheets ID, Google Drive folder ID, and daily calorie goal. Configure credentials for LINE, Google Gemini, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. Register the n8n webhook URL in your LINE channel settings. Activate the workflow in n8n and test it with a single meal photo. How to customize Modify the AI prompt in the "Analyze Meal with AI" node to support different languages or dietary frameworks (keto, vegan, etc.). Adjust the daily calorie goal in the Config node to match individual needs. Add additional nutritional fields such as sodium, sugar, or vitamins. Replace Google Sheets with a fitness app API or database. Integrate with other services to send daily/weekly nutrition summaries. --- Note: This workflow was tested using real meal photos sent individually via the LINE Messaging API. Nutritional estimates are approximations and may vary from actual values. For accurate dietary tracking, consult a registered dietitian.
