Track external issues in GitHub and Linear

Other than assigning issues to team members in PostHog, you can also create issues in other tracking systems you use like GitHub Issues or Linear.

If you use another issue tracking system and would like to request it, let us know in-app.

Setting up external tracking

You can set up external tracking in the error tracking settings. Click Connect workspace and follow the prompts to connect your issue tracking system.

PostHog connects to GitHub by installing a GitHub application. PostHog needs the following permissions:

  • Read access to metadata
  • Read and write access to code, issues, and pull requests

Creating external issues

Issues can be created from the issue page. In an issue's details page, under External references, click + Create issue.
