Log in with your MiHoYo/Genshin Impact account.
If you have never checked in before, manually check in once to ensure that your cookies are set properly.

Open the developer tools on your web browser (F12 on firefox/chrome)

Click on the "Console" tab

Type in document.cookie in the console

Copy the text output from the console
Next we need to set up environment variables, navigate to settings and click Reveal Config Vars

Enter USER_AGENT in KEY and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0 in VALUE and click Add.

**IF YOU WANT TO CHECK-IN MULTIPLE GENSHIN ACCOUNTS:**
1. Paste your first cookie into the Value box on Heroku, but do not click "Add" yet.
2. Open a new private browsing / Incognito window
3. Go to the MiHoYo event website on your new browser instance, and log in with your second account
4. Copy the `document.cookie` as before
5. Go back to the Heroku page, and type a hash `#` at the end of your first cookie
6. Paste your second cookie immediately after the `#` and remove the quotation marks "" if needed
7. Click "Add"

You can always click the pencil icon later on to edit your OS_COOKIE value if you want to add another account

If you wish to add a Discord webhook to receive notifications when the login helper runs, you can add another key value DISCORD_WEBHOOK. Look at the end of the page to see where you can get your webhook.

Go to Resources tab and add the Heroku Scheduler add-on, don't worry this is free

Create a new job, set it to run everyday at the time you wish (time is in UTC)

For the command, put python run.py

If you want to test to see if your script will run go back to your command window and type heroku run bash. After you are loaded in, type python run.py and check.

If you no longer want to check in automatically, you can disable/delete the scheduler

Discord Webhooks

This is an OPTIONAL step to let the script send you a notification on Discord whenever it runs a check-in.

Edit channel settings. (Create your own discord server or private channel for this)
Go into Integrations and view webhooks.
Create a new webhook and copy the URL.
Go back to the "Settings" tab on the app and add a new KEY called DISCORD_WEBHOOK and paste in the URL.

To stop receiving Discord notifications, delete your DISCORD_WEBHOOK secret.
