    AND connection in actions

    Hello posthog team :) quick question, is it possible to set up an action with multiple match groups that are connected with an AND operator instead of a OR? (basically my use case is I want to filter for all users that fullfil 6 different events. Maybe there is also another way to solve it? :) Funnels dont really seem to work for me because the single events dont follow a straight timely order)

      Hey Hannah,

      For your use case, given you mentioned that they don't follow a straight order, I would recommend using an any order funnel.

      In the funnel settings if you go to advanced options and then for select "Any Order", and the end of the funnel will show you users who completed all 6 events, in any order.

      Thanks, Marcus

      Hi Marcus,

      oh cool thanks for your quick answer :) I actually also think this will solve my problem :)

      Stupid question, I dont see the advanced options in my funnel board as an option currently, only things I see are "filters" and "conversion window limit". Might be related to my account or plan though...

    Linking an existing org vs. creating a new one?

    I'd like to link another org to my login so I can seamlessly switch between the two. This leads me to believe this is possible:

    I see an option to "add" a new organization, but no way to link an existing account.

    Possible to emit an event on behalf of another user?

    I have a two-sided marketplace with buyers and sellers. When a buyer completes a purchase, I emit a "made-purchase" event. I'd also like to emit a "made-sale" event for the seller even though the seller isn't actively on the platform at that time.

    My use case is to use the retention feature to show seller retention across multiple weeks. This would be perfect if I had the events tied to the seller.

      One possible approach is to use posthog-node to emit events server-side, passing the buyer and seller IDs separately into the two separate events. Does this sound reasonable?

      Hey Phillip, that sounds like a good solution to me.

    Is there a process to trigger something when a user drops out or converts from a funnel?

    For example, if I create a funnel for Pageview -> Registration. While based on the above documentation, I can see which users dropped out or converted from a funnel. However, that's analysis-time query.

    Is there a way using Posthog to get notified for funnel conversions in the form of http webhooks or throwing a message somewhere?

    Or internally Posthog also knows about it only during analysis and not really during the events ingestion itself?

      Hey Gaurav,

      Right now we can trigger an HTTP webhook on an action, that action could be comprised of an event and a property filter.

      For your example: If you set a property on a person when they perform a Pageview (i.e. has_done_pageview=true), then you could create an action for the event Registration only for people with the property "has_done_page_view".

      The downside with this approach is that there is no set conversion window, e.g. if someone made their first pageview two months ago, we would still trigger the event.
