Engage Connector

What does the Engage Connector do?

This app connects PostHog to Engage, a marketing automation platform, and sends data to Engage for use in segmentation, targeting and automation.

Specifically, this app only exports your Custom and $identify events to Engage.

Extra event properties and metadata are also processed and sent to Engage.

posthog.identify(
    '[user unique id]', // distinct_id, required
    { userProperty: 'value1' }, // $set, optional
    { anotherUserProperty: 'value2' } // $set_once, optional
);

The example above, using the PostHog JS SDK, appends extra properties to the identify event. These extra properties are also sent to Engage.

What are the requirements for this app?

The Engage Connector requires either PostHog Cloud, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running version 1.30.0 or later.

Not running 1.30.0? Find out how to update your self-hosted PostHog deployment!

You'll also need access to a Engage account, obviously.
