Connect Particle to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.

Connect your Particle devices. PostHog creates the Particle webhooks for you, and every Particle.publish() that matches your event name prefixes arrives as a PostHog event on that device, ready for insights, dashboards and alerts.

For product devices, use an API user token. In the Particle console, open your product → Team → Add API user, and give it these scopes:

devices:list to sync your device list
integrations:list, integrations:create and integrations:remove so PostHog can manage its webhooks

For sandbox devices, Particle has no API users, so use a personal access token for your account (particle token create --never-expires in the Particle CLI) and leave Product ID empty.

Configuration

Option	Description
`Access token` Type: password Required: True
`Product ID` Type: text Required: False
`Event name prefixes` Type: text Required: True	Comma-separated. Particle matches event names by prefix, so `env/` receives `env/temp` and `env/humidity`.
