Array 1.13.0

Quality was the name of the game over the last two weeks.

We have a few user facing tweaks and a mountain of bug fixes and refactoring this week. We're not sure what the collective noun for a bunch of bug fixes and refactoring pull requests is - a "virtue"?

If you're self-hosting and want to upgrade for a better experience with nicer features - update your PostHog.

Release Notes

We're happy to announce that PostHog is now available as a destination on Segment.

Our friends at Segment have built a platform that works as an integrated data pipeline to pull in all your customer data. It's a cool way to combine PostHog with ie Google Analytics or Salesforce data.

If you're already a Segment user, check us out on their Destination Catalog. Otherwise, if you're dealing with multiple tools for data collection and analysis, consider using Segment! They have a generous startup scheme too, like us.

We consolidated trends, sessions, funnels, retention, and user paths into one page for much faster answers to the questions you may have!

PostHog has a feature where Actions can be posted to Slack or Microsoft Teams. This helps you notify your team in real time of the user actions that really matter. Just got a new user? Ping your sales team. Did a user try out a new feature? Get an alert!

The integration used to be very basic - but now you can edit the message format directly in the UI.

PostHog provides an irrefutably awesome toolbar. This lets you interact with your site or app and understand who is doing what. We've been in Beta for a few weeks, and spent a lot of time interviewing early users - thank you to everyone that took part!

We have now eliminated many bugs and improved the UX, so this feature will be on by default for all new PostHog users.

You can annotate graphs in PostHog - mention big releases, new features, or changes to your UX.

Now, it's quicker and easier to get a quick read on what happened that caused something funky in your graphs.

We've also made all annotations default to being global. That means if you create an annotation in one graph (or in the annotations page), it is visible across any dashboard graph that covers that date range. No need to fear losing your annotations.
