How The Automation Works

How The Automation Works

Technical Overview of the Webhook-to-PostHog Solution

Simple Two-Node Architecture:

  1. Webhook Node: Creates a unique URL endpoint that listens for incoming HTTP requests
  2. PostHog Node: Processes the incoming data and creates corresponding events in PostHog

The Process Flow:

  • External systems send data to your webhook URL when specific actions occur
  • The workflow captures the complete payload with all associated parameters
  • Data is automatically formatted and sent to PostHog as an event
  • Events appear instantly in your PostHog analytics dashboard

Setup Requirements:

  • PostHog account and API credentials
  • Basic webhook configuration (no coding needed)
