Connect PostHog and your assistant can answer questions about how your product is actually doing — pulling product analytics, reading insights, and checking which feature flags are live, all in plain language. Instead of opening a dashboard and clicking around, you just ask, and the answer comes back in whatever channel you're chatting in.

```provider-card
name: PostHog
company: posthog.com
tagline: Product analytics, insights, and feature flags.
hue: 90
auth: Sign in with PostHog
best-for: Asking how your product is doing
```

## What you'll need

- A PostHog account you can sign in to in a browser, with access to the project whose data you want to ask about.
- A running assistant. Connectors are set up per-assistant — your assistant (powered by OpenClaw under the hood) does the authorizing inside its own private VM, so it needs to be awake.

## Connect it

![Authorizing the PostHog connector from the HolaClaw catalog and approving on PostHog's consent screen](/videos/docs/connectors/connect-posthog.mp4)

1. Open the assistant you want to give access to, and make sure it's running.
2. Click **Connectors** in the sidebar to open the catalog.
3. Type `PostHog` in the search box to find it.
4. Click **Authorize** on the PostHog card.
5. Your browser opens **PostHog's own consent screen** — on PostHog's site, not in HolaClaw.
6. Sign in if you're not already, then review what's being requested and approve it.
7. Switch back to HolaClaw. The connector verifies the connection and moves to the **Active** section. That's it.

For the full generic walkthrough and troubleshooting, see [Connect a service](/docs/connectors/connect-a-service).

## Try it

Once PostHog is active, ask your assistant something only your analytics know:

- *How are signups trending this week?*
- *Which feature flags are enabled right now?*
- *Summarize our most-viewed insight.*

If real numbers come back, the connection is live.

## If it stops working

If the connector shows **Re-authorize**, your PostHog sign-in has expired or was revoked. Click **Re-authorize** and approve again in the browser — nothing to reconfigure, you're just refreshing the access. For anything else, see the troubleshooting in [Connect a service](/docs/connectors/connect-a-service).

## A quick word on privacy

PostHog's access token lives **inside this assistant's private VM on your Mac**. It's never stored on HolaClaw's servers, and we never see your password — you sign in on PostHog's own page. Connectors are **per-assistant**, so authorizing PostHog here gives no other assistant access to it. You can also revoke access anytime from PostHog's own authorized-apps settings.
