How do I track a goalCompleted event when a user clicks the signup CTA?
Running an experiment on our signup page and the conversion goal should be the click on the main CTA button. React SPA with @croct/plug-react. Which hook gives me the tracker and what does the payload look like? Docs show croct.track but I want the react way of getting the instance

useCroct returns the SDK instance. Call track in the click handler:
import {useCroct} from '@croct/plug-react';
export function SignupButton() { const croct = useCroct();
return ( <button onClick={() => { croct.track('goalCompleted', {goalId: 'signup-started'}); }} > Sign up </button> );}One ordering detail that trips people up: when you configure the experiment, the primary goal must reference an event that is already being tracked. So ship the track call first, let a few events flow in, then pick signup-started as the goal ID in the dashboard. If you create the experiment before any events exist, the goal has nothing to bind to.
Deployed the track call yesterday, events showed up, goal wired this morning. Works. Thanks for the ordering tip, would have hit that wall for sure.
