Unleash allows you to gather [**impression data**](../advanced/impression-data.md) from your feature toggles, giving you complete visibility into who checked what toggles and when. What you do with this data is entirely up to you, but a common use case is to send it off to an aggregation and analytics service such as [Posthog](https://posthog.com/) or [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/).

This guide will take you through everything you need to do in Unleash to facilitate such a workflow. It will show you how to send data to Posthog as an example sink, but the exact same principles will apply to any other service of the same kind.


## Prerequisites

## Step 1: Enable impression data for your feature toggle {#step-1}

Because impression data is an **opt-in feature**, the first step is to enable it for the feature you want to gather data from. You can use both the UI and the API.

### Enabling impression data for new feature toggles

When you create a new feature toggle via the UI, there's an option at the end of the form that you must enable.

### Enabling impression data for existing feature toggles
To create a feature toggle with impression data enabled, set the `impressionData` option to `true` in the request payload:

<ApiRequest verb="post" payload={{name: "<feature-toggle-name>", impressionData: true}} url="api/admin/projects/<project-id>/features" title="Create a feature toggle with impression data enabled."/>

### Enabling impression data for existing feature toggles {#step-1-existing-toggles}

To enable impression data for an existing toggle, use the "edit" button on the toggle's page in the admin UI. It will take you to a form that looks like the toggle creation form. Follow the same steps as you would for [enabling impression data for a new feature toggle](#step-1-new-toggles).

Please note: it doees NOT cover all kinds of API requests just yet.

some extra development before it can be used. In the future, it may
