Get token from activation url sended from server

I'm newbie to coding login systems and now I'm coding an account activation logic after registration.

I'm sending an email to the registered user with an url like this:

127.0.0.1:3000/activate/(token here)

And I'm handling it on server side when user access to that url on this way:

app.get('/activate', ( req, res) => {
  res.sendFile( __dirname + '/public/activation.html')
})

But of course there's not a handler for every unique token so I need a way to access to enter on that app.get... /activate but kinda ignoring the second part where the token is so the file is served but keeping this token in a variable to operate with it later on it's inside logic.

How can achieve it? Am I totally wrong on my approach?

Thanks in advance.

You can use dynamic link

app.get("/activation/:token",(req,res,next)=>{
  
  const token = req.params.token;
  //don't use token directly in sql database 
});
