Data Source

Beton + PostHog

Your product analytics, powering revenue intelligence

Connect your PostHog instance as the primary data source for behavioral signal detection.

How It Works

1

Connect your PostHog instance

Provide your PostHog API credentials. Beton connects directly to your instance — no data export or migration needed.

2

Beton reads your events in real-time

Product analytics events flow through Beton's signal detection engine, analyzing user behavior patterns automatically.

3

Behavioral signals are detected

Beton identifies buying intent, expansion opportunities, and churn risk from your PostHog event data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to export my PostHog data to use Beton?
No. Beton reads events directly from your PostHog instance via the API — PostHog Cloud or self-hosted both work. Nothing is copied or migrated. You provide connection credentials and can revoke access at any time.
Does Beton slow down my PostHog instance?
No. Beton queries event batches on a schedule (typically every few minutes) rather than streaming every event, and respects PostHog's rate limits. In practice the read load is a few queries per sync interval.
Which PostHog event types does Beton analyze?
Beton reads standard event types (pageviews, custom events, group events, identify calls) plus person and group properties. Heuristic detection surfaces behavioral patterns automatically — you don't need to pre-define which events matter.
Does Beton store the raw PostHog events?
No. Beton reads events, computes signals, and stores only the signal output (type, confidence, events referenced). Granular product analytics data stays in PostHog.
