Scan a bar code within a Rise course

That’s a really interesting use case! Rise doesn’t natively support barcode scanning or direct database lookups, since it’s more of a structured content delivery tool.

However, you could achieve something close by embedding a small web app or custom JavaScript interaction inside a Rise lesson using an iframe. That embedded tool could handle the barcode scan (via a phone camera or webcam) and then pass the scanned data to an external API or database.

If you just need to scan and pull product info (like color, price, or link), you can use a mobile document or code scanning app — then open the related page within the training flow. It’s often easier to use a reliable scanning app and connect it through a link-out interaction in Rise, rather than building a full custom module.
