Add an email entry option to your static website/blog. Easy peasy. 🚀 PoV: You just hacked together a portfolio website or launched a blog as a static website. Some people who visit might be interested in hearing more from you. ❤️
But you don't want to get lost building your backend, API, DB or fancy apps like SubstandardStack or MailMachineGun for people to sign up to your newsletter. 😩 All you want is a simple input box on your website - when someone types their email , username or social link in and submits it, you want to be notified. psst...do you want another one that uses the DB instead of email so you can look up all entries at once? Let me know and I'll get cooking! Quickstart Call the val URL with data in the query param userContact . That's it! // Format
`https://<val_url>?userContact=<mandatory_primary_contact>`
// Examples
`https://dvsj-subscribeToNewsletter.web.val.run?userContact=dav.is@zohomail.in`
`https://dvsj-subscribeToNewsletter.web.val.run?userContact=CatalanCabbage` Bonus Have extra data apart from email? Pass any encoded data in the queryParam userData , will be included in the email. It's optional. // Format
`https://<val_url>?userContact=<mandatory_primary_contact>&userData=<optional_any_data>`
//Examples
`https://dvsj-subscribeToNewsletter.web.val.run?userContact=dav.is@zohomail.in&userData={"time": "2/2/1969", "twitter": "https://twitter.com/dvsj_in"}`
// Note: All values should be URL encoded. Example:
let userData = {"time": "2/2/1969", "twitter": "https://twitter.com/dvsj_in"}
let encodedUserData = encodeURIComponent(userData) //This should go in the query param Want bot protection? Add a simple question to your website, like "okay, so what's one minus one?" . In the val, set isBotProtectionOn = true and botProtectionAnswer="0" . When you call the val, include the encoded user's answer to the bot question as botProtection query param. Answer will be compared with botProtectionAnswer ; if the answer is wrong, the request is rejected. // Format
`https://<val_url>?userContact=<mandatory_primary_contact>&userData=<optional_any_data>&botProtection=<answer>`
//Examples
`https://dvsj-subscribeToNewsletter.web.val.run?userContact=dav.is@zohomail.in&botProtection=123` Add it to your website Want to add it to your site but get a headstart coding it? Use this ChatGPT prompt to get code for your website! I'm building a simple form submission component. It should a submit button and these 2 input boxes:
1. "userContact" to get the user's email (mandatory)
2. "userData" to get a custom message from the user (optional)
On clicking the submit button:
1. Both input values should be encoded using "encodeURIComponent"
2. A GET URL should be built in this format with query params. Include userData query param only if input is not null or empty.
`https://dvsj-subscribeToNewsletter.web.val.run?userContact=<encodedUserContact>&userData=<encodedUserData>`
3. The GET URL should be called and result printed in the console.
I'm using React, so make it a react component.
resyBot
@vtdocs
Script
Resy bot This bot books restaurant reservations via Resy. Use it to snipe reservations at your favorite restaurant! How to use it Set up a scheduled val to call it like this: import { resyBot } from "https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/resyBot?v=2";
import { email } from "https://esm.town/v/std/email?v=13";
export default async function (interval: Interval) {
const bookingInfo = await resyBot( {
slug: 'amaro-bar',
city: 'ldn',
day: '2023-07-05',
start: '19:00',
end: '21:00',
partySize: 2,
// Use https://www.val.town/settings/secrets for these!
email: Deno.env.get("resyEmail"),
password: Deno.env.get("resyPassword"),
})
// If the val doesn't error, it successfully made a booking!
// Send yourself an email like this:
await email({ text: bookingInfo, subject: 'resy bot made a booking for you!' })
} How it works This val makes the same requests that your browser would make when you reserve a slot on Resy (that's why it needs your login info – to request an auth token). When there isn't a matching slot, this val errors and nothing else happens. When a booking is available, this val books it and returns a description of the booking so you can email it to yourself (Resy will also email you). This val will then stop attempting bookings for you until you change one of the arguments you're passing (it concats the non-sensitive arguments and uses this as a key). Credit to @rlesser and @alp for their existing Resy vals (search for resy on here).
