Setting up the RudderStack-PostHog plugin

Once you've successfully set up PostHog as a source on the RudderStack dashboard, follow these steps to configure and set up the PostHog-managed RudderStack plugin.

  • Copy your PostHog source Write key from the RudderStack dashboard and your data plane URL.

For more information on the data plane URL and how to get it, refer to section.

  • Then, go to your PostHog dashboard and go to Plugins. In the search bar, type RudderStack.

  • Configure this plugin using the write key and the data plane URL that you copied above. Append v1/batch to this URL so that it is of the format https://<DATA_PLANE_URL>/v1/batch.

If you are using RudderStack Cloud, the default RudderStack Server URL will be https://hosted.rudderlabs.com/v1/batch

  • Finally, enable this plugin. Any events generated in your PostHog instance will now be automatically sent to RudderStack. You can then route these events to your specified destinations.
