Recombee

Send event data to Recombee

The configuration process for this destination mirrors Segment's setup. We've automatically modified the documentation from third-party sources to show you how to set up this destination with PostHog.

Recombee is a Recommender as a Service, offering precise content or product recommendations and personalized search based on user behavior.

Use this PostHog destination to send your interaction data (for example, views, purchases, or plays) to Recombee.

Installation

1. If you don't already have one, set up a Recombee account.
2. From the PostHog web app, navigate to Connections > Destinations and click Add Destination.
3. Select Recombee and click Add Destination.
4. Select an existing Source to connect to Recombee.
5. Navigate to the Recombee Admin UI and complete the following actions:

• Choose the Recombee Database where you want to send the interactions.
• Click Settings in the menu on the left.
• In the API ID & Tokens settings section, find the Database ID and the Private Token of the Database.

6. Back in the PostHog app, navigate to the settings page of the Recombee destination you created.

• Copy the Database ID from the Recombee Admin UI and paste it into the Database ID field in the destination settings.
• Copy the Private Token from the Recombee Admin UI and paste it into the Private Token field in the destination settings.

Once you send the data from PostHog to the Recombee destination, you can:

• Open the KPI console of the Recombee Admin UI to see the numbers of the ingested interactions (updated in realtime).
• Select the ID of an Item (or User) in the Items (or Users) catalog section in the Admin UI to view a specific ingested interaction.
