The problem

You have spent weeks building your Express app, launched it, and now you are waiting. Checking your database every few minutes. Refreshing your analytics dashboard. Wondering if anyone actually signed up.

When a signup finally happens, you find out hours later buried in a weekly report. You miss the context of when it happened, where they came from, and what they did next. The excitement of a new user becomes just another row in a spreadsheet.

For launches and growth periods, this delay is especially painful. You want to know the moment someone takes a chance on your Express product. You want to celebrate with your team when signups start flowing.

The solution

With npm install @quicklog/sdk and a few lines of JavaScript, Quicklog sends you a notification the moment someone signs up. Add the tracking call to your route handlers and you will see their name, email, where they came from, and any other context you want to include. Your whole team can watch the signup feed together.

During launches, this changes everything. You see the spike in real-time. You know which channels are driving registrations. You can respond to trends as they happen, not days later.

Beyond the excitement, it is practical. You can follow up with users quickly. You can spot issues if signups suddenly stop. You stay connected to the heartbeat of your Express app.

Why track this?

See signups the instant they happen
Know which channels drive registrations
Celebrate wins with your team in real-time

Quick setup

Install the SDK:

Terminal

npm install @quicklog/sdk

Add tracking to your Express app:

JavaScript

const { Quicklog } = require('@quicklog/sdk')

const ql = new Quicklog(process.env.QUICKLOG_API_KEY)

// Track User Signups
await ql.track({
  channel: 'signups',
  event: 'user.registered',
  description: 'Describe what happened',
  user: {
    id: user.id,
    email: user.email,
    name: user.name
  },
  metadata: {
    // Add relevant context here
  }
})

Express tips

Create a tracking middleware that automatically captures user context on signup
Add Quicklog tracking after Passport.js authentication completes successfully
Use async/await with try-catch to ensure tracking does not block the response
