5 stepsAgent View (JSON)

Overview

PostHog is an all-in-one product analytics and developer platform that helps product engineers understand user behavior, run experiments, and make data-driven product decisions. Your organization name is the primary identifier displayed across the PostHog dashboard and serves as the account label for team members and stakeholders. Updating the organization name ensures your team works under the correct branding and makes it easier to identify your account when managing multiple PostHog instances or organizations.

Before you begin

  • Active PostHog account with access to us.posthog.com
  • Administrator or owner role in the organization (organization name editing typically requires elevated permissions)
  • Current organization name or context (know which organization you are updating)
