What a copy needs to do

  • Giveaway page with prize, rules and end date
  • Entry by email, one per address
  • A referral link for every entrant
  • Bonus entries for each referred friend
  • Random winner drawn by entries
  • No footer branding and no entry cap

How to build it yourself

  1. Each entry is appended as a row in Google Sheets with email, referral code and referrer.4
  2. A Next.js route handler rejects a second entry from the same email.5
  3. The Node.js crypto module creates referral codes and draws the winner with crypto.randomInt.6
  4. A daily Vercel Cron job runs the draw on its first run after the end date.7
  5. The buyer connects Google Sheets through their own Composio account.8

What a copy leaves out

  • Comment imports from Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
  • Instant win games and photo contests
  • ShortStack's name, templates and screens
