MONITOR USER SIGNUP EVENTS WITH OCAML LANGUAGE

Palzin Track Ocaml Use Cases

Monitor user signup events via OCaml

When we are building a website or application with Ocaml, we often require our users to sign up for an account before they can access or use our service. This is a common requirement for many services as it allows us to track usage more efficiently, monitor growth, and avoid abuse.

Unfortunately, this process has certain downsides, such as introducing additional friction to our service and making the users go through extra steps before accessing our service.

Thus, tracking user activity when visiting our service and tracking how many go through the signup process and drop off before they use our service is essential. By monitoring the signup process, we can better understand how our visitors interact with our Ocaml service and find and fix any issues they may encounter.

Palzin Track makes it easy to track events such as user registration directly within your Ocaml code. As a result, it helps you better understand how your users interact with your product and how your product is performing.
