Use Support in Slack
Contents
Open beta
The @PostHog Slack app is in beta, so some behaviors may still change.
Mention @PostHog in any Slack channel to query your support data and the Self-driving work it generates. This is Slack as a surface and lets you do work by chatting with an agent in Slack. It's separate from SupportHog, which is Slack as a channel that turns messages into tickets.
This page covers using @PostHog for support. For everything the app can do across the rest of PostHog, see the Slack app docs.
What you can do
Mention @PostHog and it works in the thread:
- Ask about your support data, like
summarize my open ticketsorwhat's the oldest unresolved one? - Review the Self-driving reports built from your conversations, and approve, steer, or decline them.
- Ask it to plan a fix. It runs checks and opens a draft pull request, replying in-thread as it goes.
Why Slack
A few things make Slack useful for a support team:
- Context – When you
@PostHogin a Slack thread, the agent sees the context from the entire Slack thread to use for its task. - Collaborative steering – Anyone in the thread can answer the agent's questions or nudge a running task mid-flight.
- Cross-visibility – A task you start in Slack also shows up in PostHog Code, marked with a Slack icon, so you can take it over on your desktop.
