Zentrik + PostHog

Turn measured product behavior into durable product context for the next decision.

PostHog is the evidence source. Zentrik turns one reviewed question into one durable Insight, keeps the evidence history, and lets the team use that context in an idea or brief. When implementation starts, the Cursor integration can carry the shaped product context into build work.

The first release supports one question: Is successful MCP use growing across workspaces? It compares complete time periods, counts successful tool calls and distinct workspaces, and excludes synthetic events.

This is the first part of Zentrik's self-driving product loop: measured behavior → durable product context → product work → build context → outcome measurement. The first release automates the measurement and keeps the Insight current. It does not infer causes or change the measurement plan between runs.

Connect PostHog

  1. Confirm that the PostHog project uses UTC.
  2. In Zentrik, open Settings → Integrations → Connections and connect PostHog.
  3. Approve the read-only project:read and query:read scopes.
  4. Open Settings → Integrations → Imports → PostHog and select the project that contains the telemetry.

The connection is read-only. Reconnecting updates the workspace connection instead of creating a second connection.

Create a scheduled question

  1. In Imports → PostHog, enter Is successful MCP use growing across workspaces?
  2. Choose Every day or Every week.
  3. Select Translate question and review the event, filters, comparison window, and evidence minimums.
  4. Select Preview with PostHog. A preview does not create an Insight or change an active schedule.
  5. Select Start daily import or Start weekly import when the preview shows enough evidence.

The first run creates the current Insight. Later runs update the same Insight when the evidence is supported and keep each observation in Evidence history. You can use the Insight in an idea without accepting it first.

Each run uses the saved measurement plan. A model does not rewrite the query during a run. A changed question creates a new reviewed configuration before it can run.

Use the result

  • Current Insight: read the latest supported result, suggested next step, measurement, and evidence window.
  • Evidence history: compare prior observations with the current result. The history remains available when a later run has limited evidence.
  • Use in an idea: open the idea flow with the Insight attached, then shape the product work that the evidence supports.
  • Cursor: after the product context is shaped in Zentrik, use Zentrik + Cursor to send structured context into build work. PostHog does not send code to Cursor.

Data and access

  • Zentrik reads bounded aggregate results from the selected PostHog project.
  • Zentrik does not copy raw events, people, or session recordings.
  • Each observation records the evidence window, measurement version, coverage state, aggregate result, and provider receipt.
  • The first release supports daily and weekly checks of complete UTC periods.
  • Disconnecting stops future reads. Existing Insights and evidence history remain available until a team member removes them through Zentrik.

Get better results

  • Use stable event names and properties in PostHog.
  • Keep synthetic or test traffic out of the measured event.
  • Preview the question before you activate a schedule.
  • Use complete periods. A partial period can make the comparison misleading.
  • Link the Insight to an idea or brief when it should change product work. Use Cursor after the work has a clear product decision and acceptance criteria.

Troubleshooting

Most connection problems clear up after a fresh authorization or an admin allows the app. If you have tried that and still cannot connect, contact us and we will help.

The project cannot be selected

Confirm that the project uses UTC and that the connected PostHog account can read it.

The preview has limited evidence

Keep the import inactive. Confirm the event properties and wait for enough complete periods, successful calls, and workspaces.

A scheduled run cannot read PostHog

Reconnect PostHog and approve the requested read-only scopes. The last supported Insight remains visible with its prior evidence window.

The Insight does not appear in an idea

Open the current Insight from the PostHog import and select Use in an idea. A rejected Insight is not projected again.
