PostHog

Track how your customers use Layer’s embedded accounting features in PostHog, alongside the rest of your product analytics. Layer’s React components emit UI events as users interact with them, and you can forward those events to PostHog from a single callback.

Setup

Subscribe to component events through the onEvent callback on <LayerProvider> and pass them to PostHog’s capture method:

import { LayerProvider } from "@layerfi/components";
import posthog from "posthog-js";

<LayerProvider
  businessId="<layer_business_id>"
  businessAccessToken="<access_token>"
  eventCallbacks={{
    onEvent: (event) => {
      posthog.capture(`layer.${event.type}`, {
        ...event.payload,
        component: event.metadata.component,
      });
    },
  }}
>
  {...}
</LayerProvider>

Every event includes a type, a typed payload, and metadata identifying the component it came from. Prefixing the event name (for example layer.tasks.month_selected) keeps Layer activity easy to filter in PostHog. See the UI events reference for the full catalog of events and their payloads.
