Track user signups in Slack
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 Slack
Post to any channel in your workspace. Connect once with OAuth, pick the channel per pipeline.
- 01
connect your workspace
Authorize the ingestlayer Slack app over OAuth from the destinations page. We hold only a channel-scoped bot token, in-region, in the same KMS as your other credentials.
- 02
pick a channel
Choose any public channel, or invite the bot to a private one. The channel is set per pipeline, so different events can land in different places.
- 03
map the message
Reference event fields with $event.* in the message template. The default renders a titled block with the event name and its key fields.
┌─ #alerts ──────────────────────────────┐ │ ingestlayer APP │ │ user.signed_up │ │ email ada@acme.com │ │ plan pro │ │ source marketing-site │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
notes
- Slack rate-limits to roughly one message per second per channel; bursts are queued and retried, never dropped.
- The bot must be a member of a private channel before it can post there — invite it explicitly.
- Block Kit caps a message at 50 blocks and 3000 characters per text field; oversized events are truncated with a link to the full payload.
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.
