Track waitlist signup events via JavaScript

Say you have just come up with a great new product idea, and you're seriously considering turning it into a real product. Or maybe you have been working on a product for a while and are almost ready to launch it.

Usually, for both of these cases, developers create a prelaunch landing page before launching the product and set up a waitlist to collect user emails and monitor the demand for the product.

The prelaunch landing page is a great way to get your product idea out to the world and to get people interested in your product or idea. It also allows you to gather user feedback and get their input into your product.

LogSnag makes it easy to set up and track a prelaunch waitlist for your product or idea using JavaScript. It is a simple event tracking tool that allows you to track, analyze and create reports from your waitlist data.

Setting up LogSnag

1. Sign up for a free LogSnag account.
2. Create your first project from the dashboard.
3. Head to settings and copy your API token.

JavaScript code snippets

Simply use the following code snippets to send your waitlist signup events to LogSnag. Make sure to replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your API token and update the project and channel names.

var myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");
myHeaders.append("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN");

var raw = JSON.stringify({
  "project": "my-saas",
  "channel": "auth",
  "event": "Waitlist Member Added",
  "description": "email: john@doe.com",
  "icon": "⏰",
  "notify": true
});

var requestOptions = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: myHeaders,
  body: raw,
  redirect: 'follow'
};

fetch("https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log", requestOptions)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.log('error', error));

var settings = {
  "url": "https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log",
  "method": "POST",
  "timeout": 0,
  "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
  },
  "data": JSON.stringify({
    "project": "my-saas",
    "channel": "auth",
    "event": "Waitlist Member Added",
    "description": "email: john@doe.com",
    "icon": "⏰",
    "notify": true
  }),
};

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

// WARNING: For POST requests, body is set to null by browsers.
var data = JSON.stringify({
  "project": "my-saas",
  "channel": "auth",
  "event": "Waitlist Member Added",
  "description": "email: john@doe.com",
  "icon": "⏰",
  "notify": true
});

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function() {
  if(this.readyState === 4) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("POST", "https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN");

xhr.send(data);
