Linking Front as a source

Alpha release

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

Enter your Front API token to sync your Front data into the PostHog data warehouse.

Adding a data source

  1. Go to the sources tab of the data pipeline section in PostHog.
  2. Click + New source and then click Link next to Front.
  3. Create an API token in your Front settings under Developers > API tokens. Grant read scopes for the resources you want to sync (for example shared_resources:read, contacts:read, tags:read).
  4. Back in PostHog, paste the token in the API token field and click Next.
  5. Select the tables you want to sync, set the sync method and frequency, then click Import.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start using Front data in PostHog.

Sync limitations

The events table only syncs the last 365 days on its initial sync to avoid an unbounded backfill.
