Let’s dive in and see how you can make your workflows work smarter, not harder.
Understanding PostHog Credentials in n8n
So, you’re ready to streamline your workflow automation using PostHog within n8n. Here’s the deal: you need to set up your PostHog credentials correctly to make this magic happen. You’ll need two crucial pieces of information: the API URL and the API key. These are your tickets to the show, and they vary depending on your PostHog setup. Let’s break it down.
Configuring Your API URL
The API URL is like your address to PostHog’s digital home. Depending on where your PostHog instance lives, you’ll use different URLs:
- US Cloud: For public POST-only endpoints, use
https://us.i.posthog.com. If you’re hitting private endpoints, go withhttps://us.posthog.com. - EU Cloud: Here, public POST-only endpoints are accessed via
https://eu.i.posthog.com, while private endpoints usehttps://eu.posthog.com. - Self-Hosted: If you’re the boss of your own PostHog domain, use your self-hosted URL. Simple as that.
Make sure to double-check your PostHog instance URL to confirm you’re using the right address. It’s like making sure you’ve got the right house number before you knock on the door.
Securing Your API Key
Now, let’s talk about the API key. This is your golden key to unlock PostHog’s features within n8n. The key you use depends on whether you’re accessing public or private endpoints:
- Public POST-only Endpoints: Grab your API key from your project’s General Settings. It’s like finding the spare key under the doormat.
- Private Endpoints: Here, you’ll need a more exclusive key, which you can find in your User account’s Personal API Keys Settings. Think of it as the master key to the executive suite.
Remember, the right key opens the right door. Make sure you’re using the correct API key for your endpoint type.
