Description

Users have asked for a feature to roll back flags based on certain triggers, e.g. when...

  • a metric has dropped below a certain threshold
  • we are seeing an increase in errors, either through PostHog-native error tracking or
  • third party integrations

Open questions:

  • what metrics do users care about?
  • which integrations do we need to prioritise?

Please let us know any additional feedback in the comments.
