PostHog — Docs — Zero Human OS

This is an Express tool. Zero Human has already set up the server address, the permissions and the sign-in, so you connect it by pressing Connect and signing in with your own account. What Express is.

What a member can do

Query product analytics: trends, funnels, retention and paths, and run SQL.
Create and update insights and dashboards.
Create, update and toggle feature flags, and run experiments.
Query error tracking issues and session recordings.
Create and manage surveys and read their responses.

Each task names the PostHog tools it may call. posthog on a task means every tool the PostHog server offers; a name such as posthog.<tool> means that tool alone. A tool the task does not name is refused, whatever the connection allows.

Who connects it

A PostHog connection acts as the PostHog account that signed in when it was connected. It can do what that account can do, and no more.

Anyone who may change tools in your enterprise can connect PostHog for a member or a team. Connecting it for the whole enterprise is for the owner, and the people the owner allows.

A connection can sit on the enterprise, a team, a member, a role or a task, and the one further down replaces the one above: task, then role, then member, then team, then enterprise. A connection on anything but a task also reaches the chat of every member it covers.

What waits for you

In a run, nothing on PostHog waits for you unless the task declares a gate on it. To approve each change before it happens, gate the tools that change something on the task. See Gates and tool scopes.

In a chat, a PostHog tool that its server does not mark as read-only asks you before it runs, unless you chose Always allow for that member and tool.

Setup

Before you connect

Sign-in routes to the account's region (US or EU), and each region needs its own connection. AI-powered tools appear only when AI data processing is enabled in the organisation's settings.

Connect it

PostHog is an Express tool, so there is no server address, key or app to set up. Work in one browser window throughout: the sign-in returns to the portal in the window you started from.

In the portal, open the member's page → Tools. To connect it for a team or the whole enterprise, open Tools in the sidebar.
Under Express, find PostHog and choose Connect. On the Tools page you are asked who uses it: one member, a team or the whole enterprise.
PostHog's sign-in opens. Sign in with the account the member should work as, and approve what it asks for.
You are back on Tools, and PostHog shows as connected.
Name the tools on the task, posthog for all of them or each by name.
Check it. Run a task that reads something from PostHog. The run page shows the call and what came back.

You can take the access back at any time: delete the connection on Tools, or remove Zero Human OS from the connected apps in your PostHog account.

A first task to try

With PostHog connected, give a member a task that uses it. For example:

Every Monday, report last week's sign-up funnel conversion compared with the week before, and say which step lost the most people.

Start this task in the portal. It opens a conversation with your COO with the request written out. Read it, change what you like and send it. The COO asks what it still needs to know, then proposes the task for you to approve: its name, who owns it, its guardrails, the PostHog tools it may use and its instructions. Nothing is created until you approve it.
