What actions can I run in PostHog?

2 actions are available, including "Capture an Event" and "Make an API Call". Run them from any trigger in your automation stack — map fields once and they execute automatically.

Do I need to write code to automate this?

No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but it is never required.

Is the integration secure?

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.

Use in workflow automation

Start from PostHog’s Watch Events trigger and the run begins the moment there’s something new — no cron job to babysit, no one remembering to check.

Add Capture an Event as the next step, then branch, filter or hand off to the rest of your stack. The whole path stays on one canvas your team can read.

This integration brings 3 ready-made steps for marketing work, and every run records what went in and what came back.
