Embed Barcode Images in Emails and Google Documents

With Document Studio, you can create barcode images and embed them in emails, documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The barcode images can also be generated dynamically from data in Google Sheets or responses submitted through Google Form.

Document Studio can generate barcode images for EAN, UPC, ISBN, postal codes, GS1 Database and all other standard barcode formats.

Barcode Syntax

The default syntax for embedding barcode images in documents and emails is:

{{ Embed BARCODE, data, format=BarcodeFormat, prop1=value1, prop2=value2,... }}

For instance, if you would like to create a Code-39 barcode image for text Document Studio, you would use the following syntax in your email or document template:

{{ Embed BARCODE, Document Studio, format=CODE39 }}

Similarly, if you would like to embed the barcode image for a book whose ISBN-13 code is 9781786330895, the syntax would be:

{{ Embed BARCODE, 9781786330895, format=EAN13, includetext=true }}

The includetext=true property would ensure that the text for data is included into the barcode image.

You can also modify the colors of barcode image using hex codes:

{{ Embed BARCODE, 9781786330895, format=EAN13, barcolor=AA0000, textcolor=008888, backgroundcolor=FFFF60 }}

You can similarly modify the width of the Barcode image, the height of the bars, add borders, padding and more.

{{ Embed BARCODE, Enter Book ISBN, format=EAN13, includetext=true }}

Barcode Images can be embedded inside email messages, Google Documents, Google Sheets and Slide presentations.
