Step 1: Set up your Rehook account and create a wallet in just a few clicks

To start building your loyalty points system like Dream11's DreamCoins, you will first create your account on rehook. Once logged in, go to the "Wallets" section and click "Create Wallet." Enter a unique "Wallet Name" like "DreamCoins" and a "Wallet Display Name" such as "Dream11 coin wallet DreamCoins."

In the "Reward Points Name" fields, enter "coin" for singular and "coins" for plural. Set the "Reward Point Currency Conversion" to "1 INR = 1 Reward Points." For expiration, choose "On" and enter "365" in the "days after being rewarded" field.

Click "Create Wallet" to complete the setup. Your DreamCoins wallet is now ready to define user actions and rewards within Rehook.

Let's move on to the next step and focus on implementing one-time actions in your loyalty points system.

Step 2: Create an event for email verification

To set up the one-time action for email verification, navigate to the "Events" section in the Rehook dashboard. Click on the "Create Event" button to define a new user action (Image 1).

In the "Create an event" modal, enter a descriptive name for the event, such as "email_verification" . Under "Event Properties," add two properties:

1. "email" of type "string"
2. "verified" of type "boolean"

These properties will help you track the email address and verification status associated with the event.

Next, head to the "Campaigns" section in the Rehook dashboard and select "Action Based Reward Campaign". This type of campaign allows you to reward users for completing specific actions, such as email verification.

Click on the "Create" button next to "Action Based Reward Campaign" . In the campaign creation process, provide a name for your campaign, like "Email Verification".

Under the "Earning Rule" section, select the event you created earlier, "email_verification," as the trigger for the reward . Set the condition to reward users when the "verified" property equals "true".

Choose "Real-time actions" as the action type, so users are rewarded immediately upon completing the email verification.

In the "Rewards" section, select the "DreamCoins" wallet you created earlier. Choose "Flat reward" as the reward type and enter "5" as the number of DreamCoins users will receive for verifying their email address.

By following these steps, you have successfully created an event and a campaign to reward users with 5 DreamCoins for completing the one-time action of email verification.

Repeat this process for other one-time actions like phone number verification, profile picture upload, and bank account verification to create a comprehensive loyalty program that encourages user engagement and retention.

Step 3: Prepare the Request Body

• The request body should be in JSON format, containing the event details and user information.
• For the "email_verification" event, the request body should look like this:

{
  "event_name": "email_verification", 
  "source_id": "<user_id>",
  "metadata": {
    "email": "<email_id>",
    "verified": true
  }
}

• Replace <user_id> with the unique identifier for the user verifying their email.
• Replace <email_id> with the actual email address of the user.

For example, if the user ID is "player_id_123" and the email address is "player_id_123@example.com", the request body would be:

{
  "event_name": "email_verification",
  "source_id": "player_id_123",
  "metadata": {
    "email": "player_id_123@example.com",
    "verified": true
  }
}

This request body structure follows the format required by Rehook.ai's API for invoking events. The event_name field specifies the event you want to trigger, in this case, "email_verification". The source_id field represents the unique identifier for the user associated with the event.

The metadata object contains any additional properties or data related to the event. For the "email_verification" event, we're including the user's email address and a boolean value indicating whether the email is verified or not.

By constructing the request body correctly, you ensure that Rehook.ai can process the event accurately and apply the appropriate campaign rules or rewards based on the event details and user information provided.

Here's the Node.js code to send the API request to Rehook.ai for the "email_verification" event:

const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = '<your_api_key>';
const apiSecret = '<your_api_secret>';
const userId = '<user_id>';
const emailId = '<email_id>';

const requestBody = {
  event_name: 'email_verification',
  source_id: userId,
  metadata: {
    email: emailId,
    verified: true
  }
};

const auth = `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${apiKey}:${apiSecret}`).toString('base64')}`;

axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://api.rehook.ai/events/invoke',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': auth
  },
  data: requestBody
})
.then(response => {
  console.log('Event triggered successfully!');
})
.catch(error => {
  console.error('Error:', error.response.data);
});

Make sure to replace the following placeholders with your actual values:

• <your_api_key>: Your Rehook.ai API Key
• <your_api_secret>: Your Rehook.ai API Secret
• <user_id>: The unique identifier for the user verifying their email
• <email_id>: The email address of the user

This code can be integrated into your Node.js application to trigger the "email_verification" event via Rehook.ai's API. Upon successful execution, the user will be rewarded with DreamCoins or any other loyalty points based on the campaign rules you've defined in the Rehook.ai dashboard.

Note: Make sure to install the axios library if it's not already installed in your project by running npm install axios before executing this code.
