Summary

This PR documents the new calendar-day deduplication trigger options added in PostHog/posthog#55433.

Changes

Destinations (contents/docs/cdp/destinations/index.md)

Added a new Trigger options section documenting all deduplication options:

  • Run every time – no deduplication
  • Run once per interval – global rolling window
  • Run once per person per interval – per-person rolling window
  • Run once per person per event name per interval – per-person per-event rolling window
  • Once per person per day (UTC) – 🆕 new calendar-day per-person deduplication
  • Once per person per event per day (UTC) – 🆕 new calendar-day per-person per-event deduplication

Workflows (contents/docs/workflows/workflow-builder.mdx)

Added a new Trigger frequency subsection documenting:

  • Every time – fires on every event
  • One time – once per person
  • Once per calendar day – 🆕 new calendar-day deduplication

Why calendar day options?

The new calendar-day options solve the issue where 24-hour rolling intervals suppress events across day boundaries. For example, with a rolling 24-hour interval, an event at 3pm Monday would block an event at 10am Tuesday. With calendar day options, events reset at midnight UTC each day.

The docs note that calendar-day options use UTC timezone.
