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/

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?

Our IT administrator, Mike Hoke, noticed that I appear as a Plan User with full permissions, but I am showing as a non-member of the organization. His theory is that when I originally started using Smartsheet, I may have created an…
