+# Ranger Portal
+
+This portal template is populated from `.env.local`
+
+The automation works like this:
+
+1. Google form - https://forms.gle/kFYjiegnsRDNscja6
+
+Submission triggers the code to run in this GAS app
+
+2. Google Apps Script - https://script.google.com/u/3/home/projects/18VXOKc_7bvOCCUoif6LMt5tQj7NLqwdmn75eXVc0YxUsYXQ1u3KjR9SA
+
+Running this script hits `http://143.198.37.25:3000/deploy` with the relevant data
+
+3. Ranger Backend - https://github.com/mito-systems/ranger-backend
+
+Has two endpoints: 
+
+  * `/deploy`, used above, which publishes the relevant AppRecords to the Laconic Registry to trigger an app deployment
+  * `/publishRecord`, used by this portal app to publish PhotoRecords to the Laconic Registry: https://github.com/mito-systems/ranger-app/blob/main/src/services/laconicService.ts#L42
+
+## User types
