Answers about MySQL setup, available source data, schedules, table updates, and SQL use cases.

How do I connect PostHog to MySQL with Catchr?

Add PostHog with its API key and instance-specific base URL, save your MySQL connection details, then pair both systems in a datastream. Select the PostHog columns you need, preview the result, and write them to a MySQL table.

Which PostHog fields can I store in MySQL?

You can build a MySQL schema with PostHog fields such as Records, UTM Campaign, Date, Hour of the day, Week of the year, Month of the year, Quarter of the year, and Year. Selected columns can be renamed and previewed before they are written.

Can Catchr load historical PostHog events into MySQL?

A MySQL job can begin with a historical PostHog fetch and continue on a recurring schedule. The available event history and loading frequency depend on the PostHog API and your Catchr plan.

How does Catchr update existing PostHog data in MySQL?

Choose a valid PostHog date field, such as Date, when configuring the MySQL job. Catchr can delete and rewrite the scheduled date window to limit duplicate rows across overlapping loads.

What reports can I create from PostHog data stored in MySQL?

MySQL queries can summarize exported PostHog events by UTM Campaign and time dimensions such as Date, Hour of the day, Week, or Month. This supports reusable views for campaign analysis, agency reporting, and connected dashboard tools.

Does my MySQL database need to exist before I connect it?

Yes. Connect an existing MySQL database first. The Catchr job creates and populates the destination table you configure inside that database.

Can I load several marketing sources into the same MySQL database?

Yes. Create a separate datastream and job for each source, write each export to its own table, then combine the data downstream with SQL, views, or your BI tool.
