What is user signup tracking in WooCommerce?

Tracking user signup events in WooCommerce helps you monitor new customers. You can send these events to a central service for analysis. This gives insight into signup trends and helps you spot issues early.

Introducing Operational for tracking events

Operational is an open source service to collect and view events from any application. You can send signup events from WooCommerce and watch them in a dashboard.

Setting up Operational

1. Go to https://app.operational.co and sign up for an account.
2. Create a new project in your dashboard.
3. Copy your API key from the project settings.
4. Keep your key safe for your application.

Instrumenting signup events in WooCommerce

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Operational\\Operational;

// Initialize the SDK with your API key
$ops = new Operational('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Prepare the event payload
$payload = [
  'name' => 'User Signup',
  'avatar' => '🎉',
  'content' => 'John Smith signed up with email john@example.com'
];

// Send the event to Operational
$ops->events->ingest($payload);

This code captures a new user signup and sends it to Operational.

Conclusion
