Linking e-conomic as a source
This source is currently in alpha. The interface and available tables may change.
The e-conomic connector syncs your Visma e-conomic accounting data into PostHog, so you can analyze your financials alongside your product data.
Prerequisites
You need a Visma e-conomic agreement and an app registered in the e-conomic Developer portal, so you can obtain both authentication tokens.
Adding a data source
- In PostHog, go to the Sources tab of the data pipeline section.
- Click + New source and click Link next to this source.
- Enter your credentials (see Configuration below) and click Next.
- Select the tables you want to sync, choose a sync method and frequency, then click Import.
Once the syncs are complete, you can start querying this data in PostHog.
When linking e-conomic, you'll need:
- App secret token – your app's secret, from the e-conomic Developer portal.
- Agreement grant token – issued when an e-conomic user grants your app access to their agreement.
Both tokens grant read access to the whole agreement. e-conomic has no per-resource scopes.
Sync modes
Each table can be synced in one of several modes, depending on what the source supports:
- Webhook (when available) – the source pushes changes to PostHog in real time. Fastest freshness, lowest ongoing cost, and the only mode that reliably captures updates and deletes.
- Incremental – only new or updated rows are synced on each run, using a cursor field (such as an
updated_attimestamp). Cheaper than a full refresh, but deletes aren't captured. - Append only – new rows are appended using a cursor field; existing rows are never updated. Ideal for immutable, append-only tables like event logs.
- Full refresh – the whole table is reloaded on every sync. Use it when a table has no reliable cursor or when you need deletions reflected.
See sync methods for a full explanation of how each mode works and how to choose between them.

Troubleshooting
- If your tokens are invalid or have been revoked, check your app secret token and agreement grant token, then reconnect.
- If your tokens do not have access to some data, re-grant the app access to the agreement, then reconnect.
