Overview

The PostHog node supports tracking events, creating aliases, managing identities, and recording page/screen views for product analytics.

Resources & Operations (n8n native)

Resource	Operation	Description
Alias	Create	Link two distinct IDs (merge user identities)
Event	Create	Send a custom event with properties
Identity	Create	Create or update a user identity with properties
Track	Page	Record a page view with name and properties
Track	Screen	Record a screen view (mobile) with name and properties

Common Parameters:

Distinct ID — The user's unique identifier (required for all operations)
Event Name — Name of the custom event (Event resource)
Properties — Custom key-value pairs attached to events or identities
Context — Additional context values (Alias and Track resources)

Why Unsupported

PostHog requires the API key to be sent in the request body rather than as a header. The Nango proxy only supports injecting credentials as HTTP headers (e.g., Authorization, API Key headers). Because PostHog's API cannot authenticate via headers, it is incompatible with the Secure Vault credential proxy and cannot be used on indie.money.

Status

This integration is not available on indie.money due to authentication incompatibility with the Nango proxy.
