Install, update, or troubleshoot PostHog analytics in Elixir and Phoenix applications.
# PostHog for Elixir and Phoenix Configure the requested server or browser integration. Discover relevant configuration and entrypoints, and follow repository tooling, dependency, and secret conventions. Consult current [Elixir SDK documentation](https://posthog.com/docs/libraries/elixir) when changing the server integration and JS documentation when changing the browser integration. ## Shared contracts - Domain code uses an app-owned analytics boundary. Capture failures must not alter application control flow. - Read environment configuration at runtime and keep local/test activity out of production analytics. - Server and browser events use the same stringified database user ID. Verify the auth assign used by templates. - Drop empty properties, bound cardinality, and exclude credentials. - Use `person_profiles: "identified_only"` and keep error tracking disabled; Sentry owns exception reporting. - Use the project's configured reverse proxy when one exists. Otherwise select the official regional ingestion host, `https://us.i.posthog.com` or `https://eu.i.posthog.com`, and keep `ui_host` on the matching PostHog application host. ## Choose relevant references - Backend SDK, runtime configuration, analytics boundary, identity, or middleware: [server.md](references/server.md). - Browser analytics with a JS bundler: [browser.md](references/browser.md). - Inline HEEx scripts, only when no bundler exists and repository rules allow them: [inline-script.md](references/inline-script.md). - Docker assets, deployment settings, or privacy disclosure: [deployment.md](references/deployment.md). - Auth puts tokens in URLs: [security-and-redaction.md](references/security-and-redaction.md) is required. - Capture tests: [testing-strategies.md](references/testing-strategies.md). - Optional stitching, LiveView events, filtering, sampling, or feature flags: [advanced-recipes.md](references/advanced-recipes.md). A backend-only request does not require browser assets. For a full Phoenix installation, include browser identity, deployment assets, and applicable disclosure. ## Completion Run applicable project gates, checking whether precommit already includes compile and tests. Add a captured-event test for new capture behavior; avoid duplicating existing coverage for a narrow configuration repair. For browser integration, verify the rendered signed-in ID is non-empty and matches a server event. For a new analytics integration, document the event catalogue in `docs/analytics.md` and propose the boundary convention for repository instructions under the project's instruction-edit policy. Report changed files, configuration needs with secrets redacted, checks, and blockers concisely.
