Wins#

Current process for wins to appear on the wins page#

  • User fills out share your wins form available through the Share your wins button on the Wins page
  • Form answers go onto the response tab of a spreadsheet automatically.

  • A Google Apps Script uses the access permissions of elizabethhonest bot account and creates an issue on the project board notifying us that the new submission needs to be reviewed

    • An On form submit trigger runs a function which reformats a copy of the answer from the response tab onto the review tab in the spreadsheet for review
    • Submission is reviewed by product (in the spreadsheet)

    • If acceptable, PM marks true for show on website
    • If exceptional, PM marks true for showing on about page (this functionality might not be fully implemented yet)
    • If not acceptable, PM marks false for show on website, so that it does not show on the website. This is good for any spam.
    • The Google Apps Script uses a time-based trigger to check the spreadsheet monthly and uses the access permissions of the elizabethhonest bot account to create a pull request for rows that should be added to the data in the json file.
    • When the pull request is merged, the data in _wins-data.json file gets updated and the wins.js file uses the json file to display the data on the Wins page. (Note: we are in the process of changing how the json files are generated, so this line item might need to be reviewed and updated again if required)
    • Once a month, new wins might appear on the Wins page on website if the user entry is approved by PM and the related PR has been merged.
