How The Automation Works
Technical Overview of the Webhook-to-PostHog Solution
Simple Two-Node Architecture:
- Webhook Node: Creates a unique URL endpoint that listens for incoming HTTP requests
- 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)
