MONITOR USER SIGNUP EVENTS WITH SHELL LANGUAGE

Palzin Track Shell Use Cases

Monitor user signup events via Shell

When we are building a website or application with Shell, 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 Shell 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 Shell code. As a result, it helps you better understand how your users interact with your product and how your product is performing.
