Automate Event Tracking with Webhook and PostHog Integration
detail.loadingPreview
Seamlessly capture and send events to PostHog by triggering an automated workflow with a webhook. This integration allows for real-time data ingestion into your analytics platform.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow empowers you to capture any event data that can be sent via a webhook and automatically forward it to your PostHog analytics. The 'Webhook' node acts as a listener, ready to receive incoming data. Upon receiving a payload, it triggers the 'PostHog' node, which then sends the specified event name and a distinct identifier to your PostHog project. This enables you to enrich your user behavior analysis with events originating from various sources, all automated and streamlined.
Key Features
- Real-time Event Capture: Instantly send event data to PostHog as soon as a webhook is triggered.
- Dynamic Event Naming: Configure events to be named dynamically based on incoming webhook data.
- Flexible Data Integration: Connect to any service that can send webhooks to ingest event data.
- Simplified Analytics Setup: Effortlessly populate your PostHog with custom events without manual intervention.
How To Use
- Set up the Webhook Node: Add the 'Webhook' node to your n8n canvas. n8n will automatically generate a unique webhook URL for you. Copy this URL.
- Configure the PostHog Node: Add the 'PostHog' node. In the 'Event Name' parameter, use an expression like
={{$json["query"]["event"]}}to dynamically set the event name based on the incoming webhook payload. Ensure thedistinctIdis set (e.g., ton8nor a dynamic user ID from the webhook). - Establish Credentials: Set up your PostHog API credentials in n8n, referencing them in the 'Credentials' section of the PostHog node.
- Connect the Nodes: Draw a connection from the 'Webhook' node to the 'PostHog' node.
- Activate and Test: Activate your n8n workflow and send a POST request to the webhook URL with the event data in the body. Check your PostHog project for the newly recorded event.
