Initialize the PostHog client with your project token and host:

)

func main() {
    client, _ := posthog.NewWithConfig("<ph_project_token>", posthog.Config{Endpoint: "https://us.i.posthog.com"})
    defer client.Close()
}

Send events

Once installed, you can manually send events to test your integration:

Go
client.Enqueue(posthog.Capture{
    DistinctId: "user_123",
    Event: "button_clicked",
    Properties: posthog.NewProperties().
        Set("button_name", "signup"),
})
