Track waitlist signup in Swift

Imagine you’ve just had a brilliant new product idea and you’re seriously considering bringing it to market. Alternatively, perhaps you’ve been developing a product for some time and are almost ready to launch it.

In either scenario, it’s common practice for developers to create a prelaunch landing page and establish a waitlist to gather user emails and assess the level of interest in the product.

By using a prelaunch landing page, you can introduce your product to the world and generate excitement around it. It also gives you a platform to solicit feedback from users and incorporate their suggestions into your product.

LogHive simplifies the process of setting up and monitoring a prelaunch waitlist for your product or idea using Swift. It’s a user-friendly event tracking tool that enables you to track, analyze, and generate reports from your waitlist data.

How it works in Swift

LogHive provides a simple REST API that you can use to push events and errors to the LogHive service. You can organize your events into projects and groups to keep them organized and easily searchable. Once an event is pushed to LogHive, it is processed and can be viewed in the event stream or dashboard.

With just a few lines of Swift-code, you can start pushing events to LogHive and receiving push notifications for your application’s events and errors.

let url = URL(string: "https://api.loghive.app/v1/event/add")!

var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("YourPersonalApiKey", forHTTPHeaderField: "ApiKey")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

let json: [String: Any] = [
    "project": "yourprojectname",
    "group": "Waitlist",
    "event": "Waitlist - New Member",
    "description": "your-description",
    "notify": false
]

let jsonData = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: json, options: [])

request.httpBody = jsonData

let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
    if let error = error {
        print("Error: \(error)")
        return
    }

    guard let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
        (200...299).contains(response.statusCode) else {
            print("Server error")
            return
    }

    if let data = data,
        let jsonString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
        print("Response: \(jsonString)")
    }
}

task.resume()

If an error occurs while creating an event, you will receive an Error object in return.

{'StatusCode': 400, 'Message': 'missing group name'}

Receive Push Notifications

To receive push notifications, you simply need to install the LogHive Android app (Playstore) or use LogHive through the web application and allow notifications.

Add an element to your project dashboard

In addition to push notifications, LogHive allows you to display captured events in a dashboard with various elements. With just a few clicks, you can display the events already pushed in the dashboard.

In conclusion, setting up a prelaunch landing page and waitlist is an effective strategy for building anticipation and assessing demand for your product. With LogHive, developers can easily create and manage their waitlist, and leverage user feedback to refine and improve their product before launching it to the market. By incorporating these tactics into their product launch strategy, developers can increase the chances of a successful launch and gain valuable insights into their target audience.
