Requirements
Using this requires either PostHog Cloud with the data pipelines add-on, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running a recent version of the Docker image.
Setting up destination webhooks
1. Create a new destination
In PostHog, navigate to the data pipelines section in the sidebar. Click + New > Destination in the top-right corner. Search for "Webhook" then click + Create.
2. Configure the webhook
On the configuration page, enter a Webhook URL. This is the HTTP endpoint that will receive the event data from PostHog. By default, PostHog sends a POST request with a templated JSON body.
Click Create & Enable.
You can use services like webhook.site or ngrok to create Webhook URLs for quick testing.
3. Test the webhook
Now that the webhook is enabled, let's see it in action. In the Testing section of the configuration page, click Start testing > Test function to send an example event.
You should see the webhook endpoint receive a POST request with event data.
Try enabling Log responses to help debug HTTP calls.
4. Customize the webhook (optional)
You can further configure and customize webhook destinations by:
- Adding filters, match rules, and trigger options in the Filters section
- Customizing the payload
- Using global variables
- Modifying the source code in the Edit source section
