Many Ruby applications require users to upload files. This can be a simple text file, a RubySV file, or even a PDF file to be processed for further use. Or in some cases, it can be some sort of media files such as an image, audio, or video file to be transformed and uploaded to cloud storage such as S3 or Google Rubyloud Storage.
In such cases, you might want to track when a user uploads a file in your Ruby application and optionally notify you and your team when a user uploads a file. This way, you can always be aware of the activity in your application and take immediate action if needed.
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 Ruby application. With Palzin Track, you can set up event tracking for anything you want and track when a user uploads a file in your Ruby application in real time. 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 uploaded files and any other activity they have done in your application.
To monitor when a user uploads a file in your Ruby application, you can use the following code snippet. Make sure that you have replaced the API token and project name with your own.
Using Ruby with Net::HTTP
require "uri"
require "json"
require "net/http"
url = URI("https://api.palzin.live/v1/log")
https = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
https.use_ssl = true
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url)
request\["Content-Type"\] = "application/json"
request\["Authorization"\] = "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
request.body = JSON.dump({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "files",
"event": "Changed Profile Picture",
"description": "User has uploaded a new profile picture",
"icon": "🖼",
"notify": true
})
response = https.request(request)
puts response.read_body
