Detect Signup Surges with Smart Actions

The Use Case

You just got posted to Hacker News or Product Hunt. Signups spike — but you're in a meeting, not watching a dashboard. Smart Actions tells you the moment the surge starts so you can engage while momentum is high.

Step 1: Log Every Signup

await logit.now("signups", {
  event: "New user signed up",
  description: user.email,
  icon: "👤",
  notify: false,        // individual notify off — Smart Action handles the surge signal
  tags: { source: user.signupSource ?? "direct", plan: user.plan },
  metadata: { userId: user.id, email: user.email },
});

Step 2: Create the Surge Rule

Step 3: Add a Launch-Day Rule

For a Product Hunt launch, lower the bar:

Enable this rule on launch day, disable it when the rush is over.

Tips

• Pair the push notification with a Slack webhook so the whole team sees the surge.
• Log source in tags so your dashboard shows whether the spike came from HN, PH, or Twitter.
• Use a 1-hour cooldown so you don't get 10 notifications during a 3-hour launch window.
