Connect your Fern documentation to the external tools you already use: analytics, session recording, support chat, and developer tools like Postman. Fern emits a set of analytics events (page views, feedback interactions, API Explorer usage, and more) and forwards them to whichever analytics providers you configure.
Define your provider configuration in docs.yml. Include only the providers you want to connect.

Instead, reference an environment variable by using the syntax ${VARIABLE_NAME}.
If you use GitHub Workflows to trigger docs generation, the environment variables must be available during the workflow run.
