The Importance of Tracking User Engagement Metrics

User engagement metrics provide valuable information about how users interact with your Ruby application. Here’s why tracking user engagement is crucial:

  1. Understanding User Behavior: Tracking engagement metrics helps you understand how users navigate through your application, which features they use the most, and where they may encounter challenges.

  2. Improving User Experience: Insights from user engagement data enable you to identify opportunities to improve user experience, leading to increased user satisfaction and retention.

  3. Optimizing Conversion Rates: By monitoring engagement metrics, you can identify areas where users drop off in the conversion funnel, allowing you to optimize the user journey and boost conversion rates.

}
http = Net::HTTP.new(api_url.host, api_url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(api_url.path, headers)
request.body = payload.to_json
response = http.request(request)
if response.code.to_i >= 200 && response.code.to_i < 300
