Linking Appfigures as a source

Alpha release

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

The Appfigures connector syncs your app-store analytics – products, reviews, and sales and revenue reports – into PostHog, so you can analyze your mobile app performance alongside your product data.

Prerequisites

You need an Appfigures account with access to the developer portal so you can create an API client and Personal Access Token.

Adding a data source

In PostHog, go to the Sources tab of the data pipeline section.
Click + New source and click Link next to this source.
Enter your credentials (see Configuration below) and click Next.
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 Appfigures, you'll need:

Personal access token – create an API client and Personal Access Token at appfigures.com/developers/keys. When creating the client, grant the data sets you want to sync: products:read for products, public:read for reviews, and private:read for sales and revenue reports.

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 for a full explanation of how each mode works and how to choose between them.

Troubleshooting

If you see an invalid or expired token error, create a new Personal Access Token in your Appfigures developer settings, then reconnect.
If a table fails with a missing scope error, grant the required data sets to your API client, then reconnect.

If your sync is failing or data looks wrong, see the Data warehouse troubleshooting guide. If that doesn't help, contact support – we're happy to help.
