Track user signups in Postgres
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 Postgres
Insert each event as a row into a table in your own Postgres.
- 01
add the connection
Paste a Postgres connection string. Connections originate from our EU region — allowlist those egress IPs on your database.
- 02
point at a table
Name the target table. Top-level event fields map to columns, and the full payload is also available as a jsonb column.
- 03
map columns
Match event fields to columns with $event.* references, or accept the default mapping into a typed events table.
INSERT INTO events.signups
(user_id, email, plan, source, payload)
VALUES
('u_018f', 'ada@acme.com', 'pro',
'marketing-site', '{ … }'::jsonb);notes
- The target table must already exist with compatible column types; ingestlayer never runs DDL on your database.
- Connections come from fixed EU egress IPs — add them to your firewall, or inserts will time out.
- Use a jsonb column for the full payload when your event shape changes often, so a new field never breaks the insert.
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.
