Sending a QR Code to a user's phone

Hi
I’ve been successfully sending SMS messages about orders to User’s phones. I’ve used the ClickSend plugin and the ClickSend > Send SMS Action in the WF.
I now I want to include a QR Code in that message. Do I need MMS to do this or is there a better way? I ask because I’m not having any luck with using the ClickSend > Send MMS Action in the WF as nothing is sending

I wonder if it’s because I’m sending the QR Code’s URL which may not be compatible with this (but I’m not sure how I’d know this)?

although according to my ClickSend Dashboard, the MMS number is Ready to go…

I feel I’m barking up the wrong tree and I have no knowledge of SMS/MMS. Can anyone point me in the right direction for sending QR Codes to someone’s phone?

Many thanks

I believe the QR code URL is just the link that the QR code would navigate a user to, and not the actual image.

No way can be done with SMS, but can be done with MMS, but I suggest use Whatsapp or Telegram,

I don’t know javascript so I can not provide any advice on how to extract from your javascript the actual QR code. There are free plugins available that create QR codes that work well and make it simple to save the QR code image.

I am not a fan of plugin, it make me dependent on it, but if its will trusted developer using it , is a big relief.

Do you have any suggestion sir.
