Track User Signups with Clerk
See new user registrations in real-time
The problem
Clerk can fire reliable user lifecycle events, but many teams still discover new signups hours later through analytics snapshots. That delay makes onboarding and launch monitoring feel disconnected from real user activity.
The signup number alone is not enough. You usually need context like sign-up method, organization creation, invitation flow, and environment to understand what happened.
When you cannot see this in real-time, product and support miss early chances to help new users succeed.
The solution
Quicklog captures Clerk signup events as they occur and sends them to a dedicated channel your team can monitor continuously. Include context like email domain, auth provider, organization ID, and referral metadata so each event is actionable.
With instant visibility, your team can validate onboarding changes quickly and follow up while the session is still active. This tightens the loop between shipping and learning.
During launches, shared live signup context helps everyone stay aligned on what is working.
Why track this?
- See signups the instant they happen
- Know which channels drive registrations
- Celebrate wins with your team in real-time
