URL query parameter converter

Last updated:

|Edit this page

This transformation automatically converts URL query parameters for specific terms into event properties in PostHog, enabling you to analyse them like any other data point. This can be useful for seeing how your product or content converts based on search terms.

Requirements

Using this requires either PostHog Cloud with the data pipelines add-on, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running a recent version of the Docker image.

Installation

  1. In PostHog, click the "Data pipeline" tab in the left sidebar.
  2. Search for 'URL query parameter converter' and select the transformation, press Install.
  3. Configure the transformation to whitelist the parameters you want to turn into events.

That's it!
