How do I fetch a PostHog person?
Short answer: You can get posthog person in PostHog by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the PostHog Get PostHog Person action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
