Want to embed a barcode into your email to create a printable and scannable barcode that your contacts can use at retailers? Acoustic Provisioning must enable this feature for your organization. Contact Acoustic Support with this request.

Note: This solution does not generate the barcode value. It only renders the image. If you require that Acoustic generates a valid barcode value for your wanted barcode spec, you must request custom development.

Here's how it works

The application accepts a barcode number as a URL parameter and outputs an image with the barcode. You can request to use a custom domain. Then use an image link to add the rendered barcode to the email. The renderer creates the image in real-time as the email is being displayed to a contact.

Example of a rendered barcode HTML tag

After your organization is provisioned, we'll provide the URL to the barcode renderer.

<image src="[barcode renderer url]/?code=%%barcode%%"/>

Using the rendered barcode in a Transact XML email

If you are including a barcode in a Transact XML email, include the barcode value in the Transact XML:

<TAG_NAME>barcode</TAG_NAME>
<VALUE>1234567890</VALUE>

Parameters

You can specify the type code as a URL parameter. For example,

<image src="[barcode renderer url]/?code=%%barcode%%&spec=code39"/><
