**Alpha release**

This source is currently in **alpha**. The interface and available tables may change.

The Fulcrum connector syncs your [Fulcrum (Spatial Networks)](https://www.fulcrumapp.com) field-data-collection data – records, forms, choice lists, media metadata, and more – into PostHog, so you can analyze your inspections and geospatial field data alongside your product data.

## Prerequisites

You need a Fulcrum account with an active **Developer Pack** subscription (REST API access is gated behind this paid tier) and an API token. Each token is scoped to a single organization.

Create a token in your [Fulcrum account settings](https://web.fulcrumapp.com/settings/api).

## Adding a data source

1.  In PostHog, go to the [Sources tab](https://app.posthog.com/data-management/sources) of the data pipeline section.
2.  Click **\+ New source** and click **Link** next to this source.
3.  Enter your credentials (see [Configuration](#configuration) below) and click **Next**.
4.  Select the tables you want to sync, choose a sync method and frequency, then click **Import**.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start querying this data in PostHog.

When linking Fulcrum, you'll need:

-   **API token** – the token you created in your Fulcrum account settings, sent as the `X-ApiToken` header on every request.

## Sync modes

Each table can be synced in one of several modes, depending on what the source supports:

-   **Webhook** (when available) – the source pushes changes to PostHog in real time. Fastest freshness, lowest ongoing cost, and the only mode that reliably captures updates and deletes.
-   **Incremental** – only new or updated rows are synced on each run, using a cursor field (such as an `updated_at` timestamp). Cheaper than a full refresh, but deletes aren't captured.
-   **Append only** – new rows are appended using a cursor field; existing rows are never updated. Ideal for immutable, append-only tables like event logs.
-   **Full refresh** – the whole table is reloaded on every sync. Use it when a table has no reliable cursor or when you need deletions reflected.

See [sync methods](/docs/cdp/sources.md#sync-methods) for a full explanation of how each mode works and how to choose between them.

The `records` table syncs incrementally on `updated_at` using Fulcrum's server-side `updated_since` filter, so each run only fetches records changed since the last sync. All other tables use full refresh, because Fulcrum doesn't expose a server-side change filter for them.

Fulcrum enforces an hourly request cap (roughly 5,000 requests per hour), so very large record volumes may take several syncs to backfill fully.
