Part 1: Accounts

FLX raffles need accounts. There are two ways to prepare accounts with Sigma: importing existing accounts or generating them with our tools. This section will cover both methods as well as how to prepare the accounts for entry.

There are two steps.

Account Import (Method 1)

Account import is available using the format below. We recommend downloading this template and opening it in Google Sheets. When you are done modifying the file, download it as a .csv to be imported to Sigma.

Refer to the following guidelines when using this method:

  • Email Address and Password are mandatory fields. Accounts cannot be imported without them. All other fields are optional, if left blank we will assume the account does not need to be updated.

  • Fill in the shipping address if the account does not have a default address set. The shipping address in the .csv will be used as both the shipping and billing default addresses for the account. There is currently no support for separate billing and shipping addresses. Ignore the billing fields in the .csv as they are useless.

  • Fill in the card information if the account does not have a card set. Note card information needs to be set separately on each site.

Once the .csv is completed, import the file and a new group will be created. With a large amount of accounts, this may take some time.

The format of the .csv is very similar to AYCD's CSV export, except with the Password column added. If you have AYCD, you may find that useful for filling out the CSV

Account Generation (Method 2)

First, Gmail Credentials

The Set Gmail Credentials and Login to Gmail settings in the settings tab will need to be set up which can be done using the following guide.

Next, Create Accounts

Click the Create button on the raffles tab open the modal shown below. This modal is used to configure multiple accounts based on the base profile(s). Note that our variable system lets you do %variable%, which fills in info from the base profile. If you do $variable$, it fills in info after jigging. That's why for catchall we used $first$ and $last$, since it fills in the info after applying the random name.

The # of Accounts field dictates how many accounts will be generated in a group. Input the number of profiles selected in base profiles if you want to strictly make 1 account per 1 profile selected.

Example: 3-letter jig on line one, random apartment, random first and last name, and catchall

Manage Accounts

The Manage tab allows you to select an account group that was either imported with method 1 or generated with method 2 and further prepare them for entry. Below are the different features available which will be explained in detail.

Site

Currently does not matter for US. Footlocker is fine, the other sites are only provided in case Footlocker is having issues. Accounts created on one US footsite will work on any US footsite.

Update Tasks

These are like "threads" that will work through the accounts and update them accordingly. Generally, a smaller amount will update slower but with less errors.

Create Accounts?

This is equivalent to signing up on the website with the information in the prepared account. This step is not needed with method 1 if the accounts with the provided email, password combinations are already created (for example, if they are purchased or created with another tool).

Accounts from Method 1 will be created (if needed) using the password specified in the CSV imported. Accounts from Method 2 will be created using a randomly generated password that meets Footlocker's specifications.

Activate Accounts?

This is where Gmail API is needed. Accounts need to be activated through a link that is send to the email associated with the account.

Set shipping?

This sets the shipping address for the associated account.

Only Check Accounts

This will login to each account in the group. If login is successful it will update the account as created and activated which will be reflected in the View tab.
