## Input

<Tip>
  The Zapier action doesn't expose every PDF.co API parameter as a field. To pass a parameter that isn't shown, use the **Custom Profiles** field with `std_params`. See [Standard Parameters](/api/profiles#standard-parameters).
</Tip>

| Name | Description | Required |
| - | - | - |
| **Barcode Value** | Specify the value to be encoded into the barcode. | Yes |
| **Barcode Type** | Choose the type of barcode to generate. Defaults to QR Code, with various other formats available. | No |
| **Generate Inline URL** | Opt for `true` to create an inline image URL, suitable for embedding in HTML or emails, and accessible offline. | No |
| **Custom Profiles** | A `JSON` string which adds options for the conversion process. See [Custom Profiles](#custom-profiles) for more. | No |

## Output

| Name | Description |
| - | - |
| `url` | The temporary **URL** on the **PDF.co** file server. |
| `outputLinkValidTill` | A timestamp which indicates how long the `url` will be available for. |
| `error` | Details of any errors (if any). |
| `status` | The [response status](/api/introduction) code. If all good this will be `200`. |
| `name` | The name of the file. |
| `jobId` | The unique identifier for the job. |
| `credits` | The credits spent on the process. |
| `remainingCredits` | The credits left on your account. |
| `duration` | The time it took for the process. |

## Custom profiles

Use Custom [Profiles](/api/profiles) to enhance your workflow with additional processing options. Enter `JSON` configuration to customize OCR settings, output format, text extraction methods, and more.

### Sample JSON

```json theme={null}
{"OCRResolution": 600, "TrimSpaces": true, "OCRMode": "TextFromImagesAndFonts"}
```

<Tip>
  You can use any regular API parameter from the [API Reference](/api) within Zapier using the `std_params` feature in profiles. The `std_params` enables the definition of regular API parameters in a JSON format, See [Standard Parameters](/api/profiles#standard-parameters) for detailed documentation and examples.
