Setup Google Sheets API
Under the hood, this uses Google sheet API. So you’ll need to set it up.
Follow these instructions: Google Sheet API setup
Google Sheet format
Your sheet must be formatted like this sample sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VwYU7nTSlwhi2iBSFvYBnuhxPUJdIYwE9qbKuVwDk04
Include the following columns:
- Code: The actual code.
- User: The user redeeming the key. This is passed by query parameter, and is optional. It’s just for reference in your sheet.
- UID: This is generated and will be used to ensure the same session gets one key.
- Redeemed: When this key got redeemed.
- Source: The source from which it was redeemed (X, facebook, email…)
- App: The app id (like net.dobuki.worldofturtle)
- Icon: A link to the icon you want to show. Should be a valid image link.
- Name: The name of the app.
- Instructions: Instructions to show after the key got redeemed.
- Expiration: When the key will expire.
Note: Don’t share the spreadsheetID, keep in hidden and authorize your Google Cloud Api to access it.
Setup in Node.js
Once you have your Google Sheet setup, just attach it to your express app:
const app = express();
//...
// Attach the promo codes route
attachPromoCodes(app);
