In plain words
How do I combine PostHog events with revenue?
PostHog shows what people do in your product. Whether they pay lives somewhere else. Fivetran copies your PostHog events and people into a database Orcabase hosts for you, next to your billing data.
Ask “what do our highest-paying customers do differently?” and get the answer with a chart and the steps it took.
