Implementing Behavioral Triggers with June

Once users authenticate with June, there's no automated tracking to identify when they first achieve value in your app.

What's Missing in Standard June Architecture

Without an infrastructure layer listening to your database events, you rely on manual cron jobs or messy webhooks to track when users reach their first value milestone. Most setups require custom code to detect activation.

Standard June Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow

Standard Flow
1

User signs up via authentication

2

User record created in your database

3

No automatic trigger - manual follow-up required

Skene Flow
1

Watch your database 'users' table for new signups using standard API

2

Detect when user completes first key action (e.g., performing their first search) using your database queries

3

Trigger activation email sequence via Resend with personalized onboarding

4

Track activation completion and send milestone emails

How Skene Fixes This

This Skene Prompt installs activation detection into June by watching your database tables for key user actions. When users complete their first value milestone like performing their first search, it triggers welcome sequences and feature discovery emails.

Implementation Comparison

Using Skene Infrastructure

Install via Prompt

cursor.mdc
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Analytics Activation pattern for June.

Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor

Generated skene.config.ts

skene.config.ts
// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';

export default defineLoop({

      trigger: {

        query: `SELECT * FROM user_actions WHERE user_id = $1 AND action_type = 'first_project_created'`,
