Track signups with Django and django-allauth
Receive user_signed_up, which fires once per new account for email and social signups.
Before you start
The Chartsy script must already be on every page of your site, including the app where signup happens - it supplies where the visitor came from; this guide only adds the email. See the installation guides.
1Add your secret key
Copy the site's secret key from Settings → Domains in Chartsy and store it as CHARTSY_SECRET_KEY in your server's environment. It never goes in browser code or git.
CHARTSY_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key2Receive user_signed_up
django-allauth fires user_signed_up once per new account, for both email and social signups, and it carries the request - so the cookies are there. Uses requests.

Import the module when your app loads so the receiver is connected.
