Learn how to track lead conversion events with Supabase and Dub
When it comes to conversion tracking, a lead
event happens when a user performs an action that indicates interest in your product or service. This could be anything from:
- Signing up for an account
- Adding a product to cart

In this guide, we will be focusing on tracking new user sign-ups for a SaaS application that uses Supabase for user authentication.
