**Alpha release**

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

The PartnerStack connector syncs your partner program data – partnerships, customers, deals, and leads – into the PostHog Data warehouse, so you can analyze your partner ecosystem alongside your product data.

## Prerequisites

You need a PartnerStack account with access to the Vendor API. You'll need your **public key** and **private key**, which you can find under **Settings → Integrations → PartnerStack API Keys** in [PartnerStack](https://dash.partnerstack.com/).

## 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 PartnerStack, you'll need:

-   **Public key** – your PartnerStack Vendor API public key.
-   **Private key** – your PartnerStack Vendor API private key.

Both keys are found under **Settings → Integrations → PartnerStack API Keys** in the [PartnerStack dashboard](https://dash.partnerstack.com/).

## 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.

All PartnerStack tables are full refresh only, since the API does not support reliable incremental syncing.

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Required |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Public key | password | Yes |
| Private key | password | Yes |

## Supported tables

| Table | Description | Sync method | Incremental field | Primary key |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| partnerships | A partner enrolled in your PartnerStack program, including their profile and enrolment details. | Full refresh | — | — |
| customers | A customer referred through your PartnerStack program and attributed to a partner. | Full refresh | — | — |
| deals | A deal submitted or attributed within your PartnerStack program. | Full refresh | — | — |
| leads | A lead submitted by a partner in your PartnerStack program. | Full refresh | — | — |

## Troubleshooting

-   If you get an authentication error, your PartnerStack API keys may be invalid or have been revoked. Generate a new key pair under **Settings → Integrations → PartnerStack API Keys** in PartnerStack, then reconnect.
-   If you get a permission error, your PartnerStack API keys don't have access to the requested data. Check the keys' permissions, then reconnect.

If your sync is failing or data looks wrong, see the [Data warehouse troubleshooting guide](/docs/data-warehouse/troubleshooting.md). If that doesn't help, [contact support](https://us.posthog.com/#panel=support%3Asupport%3Adata_warehouse%3A%3Atrue) – we're happy to help.
