As all settings are set via /tapetrack commands, there is no need to interact outside of Slack during installation.
GazillaByte Cloud Scan
The TapeTrack CloudScan API (TCS) allows a scanning device to communicate with a 2nd device via HTTP/HTTPS.
This enables a mobile device, such as an iOS or Android phone to act as a barcode scanner that can be connected to a desktop PC.
A QR code, generated by the scan window within TapeTrack Desktop Software, is scanned by your mobile device to establish a secure connection with the Web Service. Barcodes can then be scanned and sent through to the linked TapeTrack Desktop Software.
