AWS Step Functions
BetaThis source is currently in beta. It works end to end, but you may still hit rough edges. Let us know if you do.
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect AWS Step Functions to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Sync state machines, versions, aliases, activities, executions, execution history, and Distributed Map runs from one AWS region. Grant states:ListStateMachines, states:ListExecutions, states:GetExecutionHistory, states:ListStateMachineVersions, states:ListStateMachineAliases, states:DescribeStateMachineAlias, states:ListActivities, states:ListMapRuns, and states:DescribeMapRun for the tables you select. Executions, history, and Map runs cover Standard workflows only. History excludes input and output payloads. All tables use full refresh because these APIs have no time filter.
