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.
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.
- 01
set the recipient
Enter a fixed address, or reference an event field like $event.payload.email to route per event.
- 02
write subject and body
Both accept $event.* templates. The body renders as plain text with an optional summary table of the payload.
- 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
- Outbound email is metered against a monthly quota that scales with your plan; over-quota sends are deferred, not dropped.
- Sending from a fixed ingestlayer domain keeps deliverability high, but the From address is not your own domain.
- Recipient addresses pulled from event fields are validated at send time; a malformed address dead-letters that delivery.
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.
