  • Replace the placeholder in the code with your spreadsheet ID
  • Deploy the project and copy your API URL into the placeholder in logger extension/popup.js
• Set the code options in logger extension/popup.html
  • Uncomment the commented button field if you want point events
  • Change the text of the buttons to the user-facing text you would like and the data-code field to the code you would like logged in your sheet
