TRACK FORM SUBMISSION WITH OCAML LANGUAGE

Palzin Track Ocaml Use Cases

Track when a form is submitted to your OCaml application

These days, many Ocaml applications collect data from users in one way or another. This can be a simple form that contains some basic information such as name, email, and phone number. Or it can be a more complex form that collects information such as a user's address, credit card information, and more.

Most interactive Ocaml applications have some form and are commonly the primary way users interact with the application. Therefore, it is essential to track when a user submits a form in your Ocaml application and monitor whether the form submission is successful or whether the user has encountered an error and has not been able to submit the form.

In many cases, a minor problem in the form submission can cause a user to abandon the form and not complete the form submission. This can be a significant problem for your application as it can cause a considerable loss of revenue and user experience.

Fortunately, here at Palzin Track, we have created a powerful solution for this problem. Palzin Track is a powerful, real-time event tracking tool that works seamlessly with any Ocaml application. With Palzin Track, you can set up event tracking for anything you want and track when a user submits a form in your Ocaml application in real time. You may also set up optional rules to notify you and your team when a user has encountered an error and has not been able to submit the form.

In addition, Palzin Track allows you to track user journeys and create a timeline of events for each user. This way, you can always track the activity of a specific user, such as when they have submitted a form and any other activity they have done in your application.
