Automatic QR code generation when registration record is created

I am trying to work out the best way to go about the below:

We have a event registration form in FormAssembly, that when a invitee fills it out it creates a Registration record in Salesforce 

What we need to happen is that when the record is created, a ‘ticket’ with a unique QR code is generated and emailed to the user. When the user scans the QR code at conference, the Attending tickbox is ticked under their registration in Salesforce and their badge (to go in their lanyard) is printed.

I know there are a number of apps available on app exchange but we don't require the whole kit and kaboodle, we just need to work out how to generate a unique qr code when a registration record is created, email it to the user, and save a copy of the email (or qr code) on the record, and finally, when the qr code is scanned at conference to have a 'attentding box' ticked under their registration.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

and some code to get you started and point you in the right direction: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000003ItStEAK

Hey Charline,

The Salesforce platform offers the capability to generate QR codes for any object records by creating a formula field and utilizing the Google API. This feature allows users to easily add QR codes to their records, providing a convenient way to quickly access and share information.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create the formula field and how to use it to generate QR codes for specific records.
