Using API calls to the SignupRequest object, you can collect and analyze detailed information on all sign-ups from your business organization. You have control over the sign-up process and enhanced visibility into your prospective customers. For example, you can:

- Run reports and collect metrics, such as the number of sign-ups per day or the number of sign-ups in different countries.
- Customize the SignupRequest object to add fields of special interest to your company.
- Create triggers to initiate specific actions, such as send an email notification when a new sign-up request is made.
- Enable sign-ups from a wide range of client applications and devices, so you have more channels for customer acquisition.

For more information on working with objects, see the [Object Reference for Salesforce and Lightning Platform](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_concepts.htm).
