Max parameter data size for an event

Hi guys, we’d like to know what is the maximum character length is for the parameters we attach to an event? We’d like to use this info to limit the amount of chars on the frontend to a sensible length. Couldn’t find this info in the documentation nor in public headers, so it might be prudent to add it there as well.

Support AI Chatbot

I just saw a new Amplitude Support AI Chatbot (very GPT-like), but now I can’t find it again. Does s/he have a name? How can I find it to use it again? Here’s a partial screenshot of it’s response to a question from 10 minutes ago:

How to plot the evolution of mean aggregated event count on user timeline

Hello, I’m new to amplitude and I’m trying to recreate a plot we made with our legacy custom analytics scripts: we’re interested in how often users performed a specific event on average (= y-axis), grouped by how many days ago the users signed up (= x-axis). With this, we want to see how the typical user lifetime looks: how many days after signup do they start doing something (on average), how many days after signup do they stop doing something, etc. Is there a way to build such a chart in amplitude?Problem with Segmentation tool is that it just counts events grouped by calendar dates. I couldn’t find a way to make it group event counts with respect to the user’s timeline (days after signup).I also managed to get a histogram of event counts, but I was unable to plot the time evolution of average event count, grouped by days after the user’s signup event. Is there a way to do this in amplitude? Thanks in advance! :)

How to Create Dynamic Cohorts Based on Stickiness

Hi everybody!TL;DR: This guide explains how we solved our use case of needing dynamic cohorts based on stickiness. The solution involves combining derived properties and distinct values of property option for counting events in a cohort definition. At my workplace, we use stickiness to classify user engagement levels (e.g., a casual user is someone who uses the product for one week in a month, and a power user is someone who uses the product for three or more weeks in a month). We've been struggling to incorporate stickiness-based engagement into our dynamic cohorts, which are essential for our analytics.Recently, we found a good enough solution to our use case by combining derived properties and distinct values of property options for counting events in a cohort definition.1) To create a derived property that returns a numeric order of a week in a year, we used the Amplitude property `Server Upload Time` and transformed the timestamp to a week number using the following formula:`Week

Tracking Power / Core / Casual user engagement states over time

Hi,We have defined the following:Power User = fires event A on 5 or more distinct days of the weekCore User = fires event A between 1 and 4 distinct days of the week Casual User = fires event A at least once a month, but not frequently enough to be a Core or Power userDormant User = Has gone more than 30 days without firing event A I am trying to create a chart that has weekly cadence, and shows me how my user population breaks down into these categories over time. Something like below (incorrect definitions used for the screenshot, but just wanted to convey what I envision the final product looking like). Week to week, if a user’s behavior changes, they would be represented in a different category. Which category a user is in for a given week depends only on the behavior they showed during that week (or during the last 30 days relative to that week if we’re talking about Dormant category). I tried using Behavioral Cohorts first, since I know there is an option to use “count in interva

Switching holding constant in funnel analysis

Hi, I want to build a funnel of how users grow the user base by inviting others and if these new users actually finish any action. ImagineUser A creates playlist User A invites new user B to playlist (New User B creates an account) New user B plays song in playlistI can do this by the holding constant of the playlist id, but I would not know if the final play in the playlist is User A, B, or C (should only be user B) in this case.

PROPSUM (and other props formulas) uses unique or total?

Hello there! I am building a dashboard that shows the amount in $$ that we generated and I want to use the PROPSUM formula for that. My business case is that a unique user can generate $$ more than one time, so I need to know if it's safe to use PROPSUM to account for the TOTALS and not Unique.Thanks in advance!!

Hi there! I have a report that it contains two graphs:Daily Accounts Opened Where I group by the number of applicants in that account and show it in a bar graph All Time Accounts Distribution Where the distribution is related to the number of applicants in that account   I want to show the daily performance and also the all time performance BUT my report is making all views to show as daily. I wanted the report to follow the timeframe I've set in the graph. Is there a way to do it? Thanks in advance

Segmenting users by those who performed an event “any time within 1 day of first use”

I am attempting to segment a funnel chart by user properties. I see in the FAQ page that user properties are only applied to the first event in the funnel. In my case, the first event in the funnel is user sign up, so the property I want to segment doesn’t exist yet. One way I tried to combat this is by adding a segment of users who performed “Any active event” with the property: To validate this, I added a segment of users who performed “Any event” without any properties filtered out. In this image, I would think segment 1 and segment 2 would be identical (since all users who go through the funnel should have performed an event within 1 day of first use?) Why are these two segments different?

"Row Totals/Sums" more available?

 As referenced above, Row sums/totals can be quite useful in what my organization uses regularly.While I (on some level) I can understand why it’s not an option for totaling unique users (although allowing totaling with the understanding about de-duping is preferred), it would be quite helpful if row totals could be available across more charts/tables/etc. in Amplitude, if not at the very least in event totals.  For my specific organization, the ability to sum up totals across multiple smaller time periods into a larger time period is quite helpful.

[Dashboard Issue] Dashboard is exporting PDF and PNG with no data

I'm having an issue exporting a saved dashboard to a PDF/PNG; the PDF/PNG shows up without data. This feature worked fine until last week (I’m using the Slack subscription). I went to the dashboard to see, and everything was showing fine, but when I downloaded it, the outline of the data cards was there, but there was no data or images inside the cards. Seems to be related to this​​​​​​

Cohort with two time – calculating Viral K

I am in the process of building a Viral K table I have an event referralShared that triggers when a new unique URL is created for sharing invites. Another one referralSuccessfulAccept whenever an install happens post clicking a referralShared URL. To calculate Viral K, the referralSuccessfulAccept should be a week delayed from the referralShared creation. i.e., if I were to look at the Viral K for this week, it should only show last week’s referralShared and this week’s referralShared and compute. It should REMOVE all referralShared for this week. How do I achieve this?

Cohorts not filtering properly when added to chart

Hello! ProblemI am trying to create 2 cohorts based on the registration types we currently have out in different countries. So I’m trying to segment by country. I’ve tried 2 different ways:Using the User Property `Country` Using one of my own events with an event property called `country`When I go to create a chart using a funnel and I Segment by the Cohort, it pulls in more countries than exist in the cohort I create. Example with images:This is the Cohort I created using an event property called Full Reg UsersThis is the result when added to a chartHere’s how I’m using the Cohort in the chart Using the user property acts the exact same way. Why is it pulling more countries than I put in the cohort? Shouldn’t it be filtering them out? Why am I doing this?I want an easy way to segment these users and someone else at the company can use it without worrying about which country is what. They can just use `Full Reg Users` Cohort and see what’s going on with them. Thanks!

Pulling in export data that includes zeros

I’m trying to create a chart for exports that would include all customers, those who have exported AND those who have not. The goal here is to see a detailed chart of our monthly exports across the customer base, and to be able to see which accounts may need some attention at the same time. I tried a few different logics, but can’t find a way to bring in those non-events.

Usage Interval not reaching 100% on the last day

Hi team, I just posted this question under the FAQ article, but I’m raising it here as well for the visibility’s sake with hopes to receive the answer faster. I don’t see this question being asked anywhere in this forum or under the FAQ. One thing that I keep running in to with most of my Usage Interval charts is the fact that they never reach a 100% on the last day of the chosen interval (usually 60 days), even though I clearly state in the segmentation part that only users who performed that returning action 2 or more times in the same time period should be taken into consideration.I was expecting to see a 100% by the last day but it’s never the case. Do you have any idea why this is the case?What am I missing?
