Go Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Go application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking failed payments. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

package main

import (
  "bytes"
  "encoding/json"
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
)

func logEvent() {
  apiURL := "https://api.saashound.co/log-event"
  payload := map[string]interface{}{
    "project":     "my-project",
    "channel":     "payment-logs",
    "event":       "Failed Payment",
    "description": "Payment for order #12345 failed.",
    "icon":        "💳",
    "notify":      true
  }

  payloadBytes, err := json.Marshal(payload)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error marshaling payload:", err)
    return
  }

  req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(payloadBytes))
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err)
    return
  }

  req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
  req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")

  client := http.DefaultClient
  resp, err := client.Do(req)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error sending request:", err)
    return
  }
  defer resp.Body.Close()

  if resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 300 {
    fmt.Println("Log event sent successfully!")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Failed to send log event. Response code:", resp.StatusCode)
  }
}

func main() {
  logEvent()
}
