Capturing data from a Magnetic Strip
I was wondering if there is any way for Smartsheet to capture or populate information if we swipe a card that has a magnetic strip? I.E. can we have employees swipe their ID badges and capture their employee ID number?

Hello,
Smartsheet doesn't have a way to do this "out of the box" but if you have development resources available to you, you may be able to use our API to develop an integration between your swiping software and Smartsheet.
Our API documentation is available here: https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/

Hi,
I think this can be achieved thru Zapier or maybe a prepopulated form somehow.
I assume that you can't reprogram the cards because you use them for other things also. Correct?
Can you tell us more about the use case?
I hope this helps you!

Yes that is correct. The card id's are used for other purposes. Everything from secure door access to payment with attached billing accounts.
I was looking through Zapier can dont seem to find that feature.
I think we may have to go with an API approach

Ok.
The API route sound good but i just came to think about a potential workaround.
Would it work if you attached a QR code or a RFID sticker to the card with the correct information?
Best,
