Hey all,
We’ve seen a massive spike in our data point utilization in a partner integration (Braze) after setting up Braze as a destination in Amplitude. We currently have each event setup to “Send Events” with the optional “Select additional properties”. This seems like the obviously misconfigured culprit. Braze considers every event streamed, every event property, and every user property as a separate data point. Understanding this, I intend to reduce our data point utilization by disabling the “select additional properties”, however I have two primary questions before doing so as Braze depends on some event properties:
- When you do not “select additional properties” will Amplitude send the event with it’s own event properties e.g. a pageview event will also send with the url event property? This seems like it should, but reading the documentation it doesn’t explicitly say anything about the events own properties. This would be a dealbreaker if the events own properties are not sent.
- Trying to answer the first question, is there anyway to actually see what Amplitude is sending over the integration? I was hoping to answer my question this way, but could not find any way to do so. The “Debugger” section looks promising, but only seems to show the payload on failures, not successes.
Thanks,
Eric
