How it works
The Appcues destination supports two types of calls:
Identify calls – When PostHog captures
$identifyor$setevents, the destination sends aPATCHrequest to update the user's profile in Appcues with the configured profile properties.Track calls – For all other events, the destination sends a
POSTrequest to record the event in Appcues with the event name, timestamp, and any configured attributes.
Both mapping templates are enabled by default.
