Connect to secured WiFi based on QR code

It is possible to auto connect to a new (not in wifi network list, never connected) wifi secured network after a QR code scan?
I know how to process QR code info, but I don't find an action to connect to network based on this info (SSID, Pass).
Thanks

Maybe we can use an action that takes an picture and sends it to a service to return the QR code text? Is there a (Google?) service that can be invoked to do this heavy lifting? Or an app that supports intents we can link to? Also how to populate the WiFi credentials in the Android device?

Automagic has no action to add a new wifi configuration yet. I will add it to the todo-list.
I suppose that some of the dedicated barcode scanner apps available on Google Play have support for this so you could try to launch such an app using action Launch App.

I know about dedicated apps, but I want to do it with Automagic :D
Thanks for adding that to your to-do list.
