feat(workflows): search invocations by person email by meikelmosby · Pull Request #70334 · PostHog/posthog

meikelmosby · 2026-07-13T07:12:06Z

Problem

The invocations tab search only matches on invocation_id, event_uuid, distinct_id, and person_id, all exact-match UUIDs.
People rarely have those on hand; they usually know a user by email.

Changes

Adds an email match to the existing OR chain, as a subquery over persons.properties.email.

Case-insensitive substring: properties.email ILIKE '%<search>%'.
So meikel, Meikel, meikel@posthog.com, and @company.com all work.
Runs on every non-empty search, no @ heuristic.
First cut had one but it silently ate partial-name searches like meikel.
Applied to both fetchRunsPage and fetchSparkline so the list and the sparkline stay in sync.
Placeholder updated to mention email.

How did you test this code?

🤖 Agent context

Autonomy: Human-driven (agent-assisted)

Meikel asked for email search on the workflows invocations tab.
First iteration used exact match gated on @ in the search string, which Meikel then flagged as too narrow (meikel didn't match his own meikel@posthog.com).
Switched to ILIKE '%…%' and dropped the @ guard.

Change lives in the shared hog-functions/invocations component so it also benefits CDP destinations.

Tool: Claude Code (Opus 4.7).

Auto-detects an @ in the invocations search input and resolves matching person_ids via a persons.properties.email subquery, on top of the existing UUID / distinct_id matches. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…substring Switches the email subquery from `properties.email = '<value>'` to `ILIKE '%<value>%'` and drops the `@` guard so partial matches like `meikel` resolve to `meikel@posthog.com`, and domain-only searches like `@company.com` work too.
