Track user signups in Webhook

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 Webhook

POST the processed event as JSON to any HTTPS endpoint you control.

  1. 01

    set the URL

    Any HTTPS endpoint. The processed event is delivered as a JSON body on POST.

  2. 02

    choose auth

    None, a bearer token, or HMAC signing. Signed requests carry an X-Ingestlayer-Signature header you verify with your shared secret.

  3. 03

    confirm receipt

    Return a 2xx within the timeout. Non-2xx responses trigger retries with exponential backoff before the delivery dead-letters.

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.
