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.
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.
- 01
set the URL
Any HTTPS endpoint. The processed event is delivered as a JSON body on POST.
- 02
choose auth
None, a bearer token, or HMAC signing. Signed requests carry an X-Ingestlayer-Signature header you verify with your shared secret.
- 03
confirm receipt
Return a 2xx within the timeout. Non-2xx responses trigger retries with exponential backoff before the delivery dead-letters.
POST /hooks HTTP/1.1
Host: api.acme.com

"type": "user.signed_up",
"payload": { "email": "ada@acme.com", "plan": "pro" }
}notes
- Endpoints must respond within 10 seconds; slower responses are treated as failures and retried.
- Retries use exponential backoff for several attempts before dead-lettering — make your handler idempotent.
- Verify the HMAC signature before trusting a payload; the raw body is signed, so compute the digest before JSON parsing.
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.
