Linking Planhat as a source

Alpha release

This source is currently in alpha. The interface and available tables may change.

The Planhat connector syncs your customer success data – companies, end users, users, licenses, assets, and NPS responses – into the PostHog Data warehouse, so you can analyze your customer success metrics alongside your product data.

Prerequisites

You need a Planhat account with permission to create a Private App under Settings → Service Accounts.

Adding a data source

  1. In PostHog, go to the Sources tab of the data pipeline section.
  2. Click + New source and click Link next to this source.
  3. Enter your credentials (see Configuration below) and click Next.
  4. 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 Planhat, you'll need:

  • API access token – create a Private App in Planhat under Settings → Service Accounts. The token is shown once, so copy it immediately.

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_at timestamp). 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.

All Planhat tables use full refresh sync mode.

Troubleshooting

  • If you see an authentication error, your API access token is invalid or has been revoked. Generate a new token from a Private App under Settings → Service Accounts in Planhat, then reconnect.
  • If you see a permissions error, the token does not have access to this data. Check the Private App's scopes in your Planhat account, then reconnect.

If your sync is failing or data looks wrong, see the Data warehouse troubleshooting guide. If that doesn't help, contact support – we're happy to help.
