The Mobile Scan component is purpose-built for the Salesforce mobile app.

It allows users to scan barcodes and QR codes directly from within any Lightning Page.

Whether added as a page tab, a Global Action, or embedded in a Flow, the component launches the device camera and processes scans instantly. No third-party apps or custom development required. Just native functionality, right inside Salesforce.

‍

The component supports three scan modes to suit different workflows:

Single: Scans one barcode and closes automatically

Repeat: Continues scanning until the user exits

Multi: Captures all visible barcodes in one image and lets the user review the list

Each mode is ideal for specific use cases, from fast check-ins to high-volume product logging. Users choose the best fit for their task without needing to switch components.

‍

Admins can drag the Mobile Scan component onto any Lightning Page using the Lightning App Builder.

It integrates with both App Pages and standard object pages, and you can use Dynamic Actions to restrict it to mobile form factors.

For Flow-based use, simply add the Scan component to the page and pass scanned values into your process. You can even assign the component to mobile navigation menus for quick access.

‍

The Mobile Scan component is optimized for speed, simplicity, and mobile environments.

From scanning inventory in a warehouse to pulling up a customer record at a trade show, users can get what they need in seconds. With camera-based scanning, minimal setup, and full Salesforce integration, it delivers powerful functionality without interrupting your team’s day-to-day workflow.
