Use Error Tracking in PostHog Desktop

Contents

Open beta

PostHog Desktop is in beta. This page is a work in progress.

PostHog Desktop is where you review and merge the Self-driving work that error tracking generates. When recurring exceptions are grouped into a report and a code fix is possible, Self-driving opens a draft pull request. You review it in PostHog Desktop, next to the agents improving your product, and nothing ships until you merge.

Before you start

  1. Set up Error Tracking – install exception capture in your app so exceptions reach PostHog.
  2. Install PostHog Desktop – download the app and connect it to your project.

Start at the inbox

Reports don't come looking for you – they queue up in the Self-driving inbox, so checking it is the habit that makes this surface worth anything. The inbox holds everything Self-driving has found across every source, error tracking included, with the highest-priority reports first. Open one to see the issue behind it, the evidence, and any pull request it opened.

What you can do here

  • Review Self-driving reports built from recurring issues, with the related stack traces, session replays, and events attached.
  • Inspect and edit the draft pull request that fixes an issue before merging.
  • Hand issues off to an agent to investigate or draft a fix.
