The urlsend command allows you to send a message to a server when a snippet is inserted. This can be used for logging snippet usage, or even saving the form values that were used in a snippet.
You can develop your own server application to the collect and store data from urlsend. As a simpler and free approach, we have found that Google Forms works well to collect data. See this example.
See also the {urlload} command for loading data from a server into your snippet.
