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.

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 Slack

Post to any channel in your workspace. Connect once with OAuth, pick the channel per pipeline.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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.
