When Should I Use an API Unlock Instead of Standard Actions?
Use API Unlocks when the user action happens outside of a standard link click or visit. Click to learn when this method is best for SaaS, forms, or app interactions.
API Unlocks are designed for advanced use cases—such as tracking when a user:
- Completes a multi-step form
- Signs up for an account
- Finishes a course module or onboarding flow
Instead of using a URL visit, you can trigger the unlock with gleam.track() after the action completes.
This is ideal for web apps, SaaS tools, or lead generation workflows where the action is handled through custom code or JS frameworks.
