Value of Posthog Integration

Understanding Events and User Properties

User Properties

User properties are attributes that provide context about individual users. They help you understand who your users are and can include various demographic and behavioral information. Examples of user properties include:

• Location: The geographical location of the user (e.g., country, city).
• Referral Source: The source through which the user was referred to the application (e.g., social media, email).
• Subscription Type: The type of subscription the user holds (e.g., free, premium).
• User ID: A unique identifier for each user, which helps in tracking their actions across the application.

Events

Events represent specific actions taken by users within the application. They are crucial for tracking user interactions and understanding how users engage with different features. Examples of events include:

• Button Clicks: Tracking clicks on buttons (e.g., "Sign Up", "Download").
• Page Views: Monitoring which pages users visit.
• Feature Usage: Tracking interactions with specific features (e.g., using a chat feature).

Custom Events vs. Default Events

• Default Events: Posthog automatically tracks certain events, such as page views, without requiring additional setup.
• Custom Events: These are events that you define and implement in your application to capture specific user interactions that are unique to your functionality (e.g., "user_signed_up").

Here are some example questions you can ask Klu to gain insights using Posthog data:
