Select all first times an specific event was launched

Hey there!I want to select all the times a specific event was launched by any user for the first time. Here is an example, to clarify: lets say I have a number of users (painters) which can paint, and I want to select and analyze all the times a specific event (lets say, paint something of a given color) was launched. So I would like to select in that case only the first time they painted something, not all the times any user painted something, but the first time a user paints something know what was the selected color, in order to analyze which colors users pick first.Is there any way of doing so? I tried with the “New users” thing but it didn’t worked as I expected.Thanks in advance!

how to get rid of error while opting out the tracking

I’m experiencing a consistent browser log error of “Amplitude Logger [Error]: Event skipped due to optOut config” after I “setOptOut(true)”, anyway to get rid of it? I want to opt out the user activity tracking for some situations, but not happy to see the error logs all the time in the browser console.

How do we look at the error logs when an S3 import ingest job has failed

Hi community,We set up an amazon s3 connection to ingest parquet files. The connection is working fine, we have already ingested several files. Although one of the ingested jobs has failed, there is a link to download the error logs but that link redirects to the Events table in the Amplitude Data page.How do we look at the error logs when an S3 import ingest job has failed?Thank you in advance!

Question about Spring Server

Hello My name is James Lee I am a server developer and Korean, so I'm not good at EnglishThe server configuration was done in Kotlin.If the user links the amplitude to the api call logic, will there be a lot of load?Or is it better to process it through a separate dump? Or is there a better way?

Different decideId / userId on same sub domains

Hello team,I’m struggling to understand why my setup doesn’t work.I have two domains: xxx.co & yyy.xxx.co I have Amplitude implemented on the two websites and the init options contain: “domain: .xxx.co”.When my users move from xxx.co to yyy.xxx.co, a new cookie, deviceId & userId is assigned to this user.NB: The two websites send the data in two different projects (but in the same workspace).Do you have an idea why this doesn’t work?Thanks in advance.

Why does the API response header say text/html even though its actually returning JSON?

I’m trying to delete a user, but when I call the endpoint, the response header `Content-Type` is set to `text/html; charset=UTF-8`https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/analytics/apis/user-privacy-api/#delete-users The HTTP library I’m using in Java cannot figure out how to parse the response because it thinks its html when its actually json.

How to pass Segmentation values in Retention API?

I have been trying to pass the segmentation filters in the retention API on ‘s’ parameter, but I am getting "Unable to create definition from arguments." error as response. We are passing multiple properties in filters as per the document given but it gives an error. Is there any way to pass multiple filters on the segmentation parameter in Retention API. I have been passing the data like this:[{"prop":"userdata_cohort","op":"is not","values":["xxxyyy"]},{"prop":"New User","op":"greater or equal","values":["1"]}]The above has been URL encoded and passed as a value for ‘s’ parameter.

Searching function broken for user property "experiment"

hi,when I am creating a cohort, I am trying to setup the user property “experiment” with 2 conditions:select a version number (it is working fine) make a condition that user property “experiment” DOES NOT CONTAIN stings: (for example) string_a, string_bbut when I look into cohort individual user’s property “experiment”, either “string_a” or “string_b” is included in the property list…would “DOES NOT CONTAIN” clause not select users with “experiment” property containing both “string_a” or “string_b”?

Page tiles on user journey

I’ve created a User Journey chart but the titles of each column are all the same.We are injecting an event every time a user transitions a page.The event is named ‘page_view’ and contains an event property page_location.My problem is that the column headings for each step show ‘page_view’ when I want them to show the value of the ‘page_location’ event property.How do I change the chart to show this.

Users Labelled with Undefined UTM Parameters

My first question for the community! Exciting. We label all our marketing traffic with utm parameters. Other than organic users (which comprises a small amount of our overall traffic mix), every click should have utm parameters attributed to them.However, I’m seeing some users coming in as undefined (for both initial and regular utm parameters.) I even found an instance where a user clearly came from specific utm sources, but showing up as undefined (assuming due to some Amplitude SkU user merger and took the undefined utm’s along with it.)My question is, what is undefined, is it something we can control on our end, and how can we stop this from happening? Thanks everyone for your input. Cheers,Derek

Interpreting difference between retention start events between "New User" and "Any Event"

I’m trying to understand the different meanings of start events in retention graphs. When I select “Any event” instead of “New user” as my start event, my monthly bounded retention increases significantly. What does that mean? Am I now counting users twice, because in month three, I’m no longer just counting the users that did my return event three months after being new to my product, but also every user who did the return event three months after any other event they did before?

Practice questions for Amplitude Newbies

Hey allI run a Friday data quiz with my team to get them more used to Amplitude and all its different features. I have the idea to building a community resource that is a list of quiz questions you can use to help people build competence and familiarity with everything that Amplitude offers. It will help drive adoption within the business.Does anyone know of anything like this or would be interesting in building it? Sample question areas would be queries withMultiple user groups Uniques Frequency Compare to past Group by Region etc.Thanks

Issue with tracking some users

Hi everyone, We are using GTM and javascript SDK to track users on our web application but sometimes amplitude cannot track some users that we know they are in our database and valid users. Is there any way to users can block our tracking code in chrome or using something else? Do i need to consider margin of error while tracking users with GTM? Or is there a safer and more secure way to implement the tracking code?
