Workflows are now in Alpha and I already broke mine
Blog post from PostHog
PostHog's Workflows is an automation tool that allows users to create and run actions based on live user behavior, offering features like triggers, logic, and actions without the need for syncing or external connectors. Built directly into PostHog, it leverages real-time product data to enable seamless automation, with current support for email and upcoming integrations with platforms like Slack and Twilio. The system's simplicity allows even non-technical users to build automations visually and publish them easily. A product marketer's test of the tool revealed the importance of setting entry conditions to prevent unintended repetitive actions, as demonstrated when a misconfigured workflow led to multiple email triggers for users. Despite this hiccup, the feedback received was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the ease of use and effectiveness of the tool, ultimately turning the incident into a learning opportunity and a chance to engage with enthusiastic users. Currently in its alpha stage and moving to beta, the tool is available for free trials, inviting users to experiment while being mindful of entry settings.
