Track user signups in Email

Know the moment someone signs up — who they are, which plan they picked, and where they came from — without waiting for a daily export or tailing logs.

the event

You emit user.signed_up with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.

emit it

From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.

emit user.signed_up
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";

await ingest("user.signed_up", {
  user_id: user.id,
  email:   user.email,
  plan:    user.plan,
  source:  "marketing-site",
}, {
  idempotencyKey: user.id,   // one signup per user, ever
});

route it to Email

Send a transactional email to one or more recipients, addressable from event fields.

  1. 01

    set the recipient

    Enter a fixed address, or reference an event field like $event.payload.email to route per event.

  2. 02

    write subject and body

    Both accept $event.* templates. The body renders as plain text with an optional summary table of the payload.

  3. 03

    confirm the sender

    Mail goes out from mail@notify.ingestlayer.com with SPF and DKIM aligned. Set a reply-to if you want responses to reach you.

notes

questions

Do I need a separate call for every plan?
No. Emit one user.signed_up event with a plan field, then branch on it in the pipeline if you want different destinations per plan.
What if the same signup fires twice?
Pass the user id as idempotencyKey. The gate enforces (project, key) uniqueness, so a retry or double-submit counts once.
Can I enrich the signup before it lands?
Yes — the enrich.person action resolves the email to company, role, and country in flight, so the alert arrives already annotated.
