PostHog
Turn PostHog exceptions into triage-ready drafts
The PostHog integration turns production errors into triage-ready feedback. When you connect PostHog, Flowback automatically forwards every $exception event into your inbox. Each unique error becomes one draft, complete with a PRD, a suggested priority, and deep links back to the PostHog issue and session replay.
Connecting PostHog
To connect PostHog:
- Navigate to Integrations in your dashboard
- Click Connect PostHog
- You'll be redirected to PostHog to authorize Flowback
- Approve the request to be redirected back to Flowback
Flowback sets up the exception forwarding for you automatically — there's nothing to configure inside PostHog. You finish by mapping environments to channels (below).
Configuration
From PostHog Settings you map each PostHog environment to a Flowback channel:
- Channel — Which channel an environment's exceptions are imported into, or Do not import to ignore it
- Exceptions — Whether
$exceptionevents from that environment become drafts - Enabled — Turn a mapping on or off without deleting it
PostHog exceptions always arrive as drafts for review — nothing is created automatically.
What gets created
Each unique exception becomes a draft in the mapped channel with:
- Title — Derived from the exception type and message
- PRD — A structured spec covering summary, user impact (affected user, page, browser, OS), severity, business risk, acceptance criteria, and the technical evidence from PostHog
- Suggested priority — Based on the exception level (fatal → Urgent, error → High, warning → Medium, info → Low). Unhandled exceptions are raised a level, and common browser noise is kept low
- Deep links — Links to the PostHog issue, the session replay (when available), and the affected page
Repeat occurrences of the same error update the existing draft rather than creating a new one. If you approve a draft into an issue, it stays in sync with PostHog.
Disconnecting
You can disconnect PostHog at any time from the Integrations page. Disconnecting:
- Stops new exception drafts from being created and removes the forwarding from PostHog
- Removes the connection from Flowback
- Does not delete any existing drafts, submissions, or issues in Flowback
You can reconnect at any time.
