Track external issues in GitHub, Linear, and GitLab
Contents
Other than assigning issues to team members in PostHog, you can also create issues in other tracking systems you use like GitHub Issues, Linear, or GitLab.
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. Select your issue tracking system and follow the instructions.
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.
The new issue will have a partial stack trace and a link to the issue in PostHog.
