What problem does it solve?
Adding alerting to a PostHog product touches lifecycle state machines, destinations, delivery, scheduling, email, and frontend editors, and building a product-local framework duplicates shared infrastructure and breaks platform invariants.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Adoption routing: Directs engineers to the right reference for adopting platform alerting, extending shared infrastructure, or building the alert frontend.
- Platform invariants: Enforces rules such as one lifecycle state machine, a single product mutator, allowlisted destinations, and dispatch-persistence agreement.
- End-to-end verification: Requires testing configuration, routing, and delivery as one contract across management APIs, workers, and UI.
- Use Case: When adding alerting to a new PostHog product, follow the adoption reference to compose the shared state machine, HogFunction destinations, scheduling helpers, and shared editor components instead of building a parallel framework.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to add alerting to a PostHog product using the shared alerts platform and follow the routed reference for the adoption path.
