Is there a recommendation of what Identity Store (cookie vs local storage) to use?

In the Browser 2.0 SDK it says this:identityStorage string. Sets storage API for user identity. Options include cookie for document.cookie, localStorage for localStorage, or none to opt-out of persisting user identity.  By default this is “cookie” but is there an advantage to use localStorage?  When should we use this option? I realize there must be legacy browser issues, but that would have to be super old browsers that don’t support localStorage so trying to figure out the gotchas here. The docs do not give any guidance on this.

Double counting pageviews when running VWO Redirect AB Test

I am running into an issue where when I run a 50/50 split redirect test using VWO Amplitude is firing two pageview tags - one for the control and the other for the variant essentially double-counting pageviews. How can I best setup our VWO integration to avoid this behavior? Or, is there a way to filter out the double counting on the backend.

Version Conflict for 'Amplitude' in amplitude_flutter on CodeMagic Builds

Expected BehaviorThe amplitude_flutter plugin should resolve its dependencies correctly when running pod install as part of a Flutter project build process, especially when using publicly available versions of its dependencies like Amplitude. The build should complete successfully without version conflicts in the dependency resolution process.Current BehaviorWhen attempting to run pod install in the CI/CD environment provided by CodeMagic, a version conflict arises for the Amplitude pod. Specifically, the amplitude_flutter plugin requires Amplitude version 8.18.0, which does not appear to be publicly available on pub.dev. This requirement leads to a failure in the dependency resolution process, as indicated by the error message suggesting a conflict between the version specified in Podfile.lock (8.16.1) and the one required by amplitude_flutter (8.18.0). This issue only occurs on the CodeMagic build machine; local environments do not exhibit the same problem.Possible SolutionA potentia

Tracking metrics for deleted profiles

Hey, I’m trying to figure out how to generate weekly data report for how many accounts are deleted in Amplitude. I receive a deletion report from Amplitude every day for all the users that requested the deletion from our app, but I want to figure out if there’s a way that I can look at those numbers inside Amplitude through a chart. Any ideas? Thanks!

400 bad request error with event segmentation

 This event with event property and value is valid as seen from the chart above. But my API call keeps returning a 400 bad request error:https://amplitude.com/api/2/events/segmentation?e={"event_type":"A_DomainEnter"}&start=20240214&end=20240216&s=[{"prop":"gp:StoreCode","op":"is","values":["COOP"]}]I’ve tried with both Postman and Javascript, and the response is good if I just remove the “s” parameter, so it’s definitely not an issue with authorization or anything.I’ve also tried it like this, 400 bad request as well:https://amplitude.com/api/2/events/segmentation?e={"event_type":"A_DomainEnter","filters": [{"subprop_type": "event", "subprop_key": "gp:StoreCode", "subprop_op": "is", "subprop_value": ["COOP"]}]}&start=20240214&end=20240216Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Showing companies and not users on dashboard

Hello Guys! Here is the deal: We work with an B2B product, so most of our metrics look to how many companies triggered certain event during a window of time. Most of amplitude is perfectly usable for us, because even with all tracking being made by user, we can always use the “Group By” feature and everything is good. But there is a problem. I want to see on my dashboard the actual number of companies that triggered that event. I can get a list of them easily, but when showed on a dashboard that data is not easily read. I’d need to download a CSV and count the cells. Let’s use the image below as an example. I created a segmentation graph with event i needed, grouped all users by company and then added that to a dashboard. For good measure, i turned it into a table, for ease of reading. Now i can see who triggered the event, but not how many companies, and that’s even worse on this case where there are 165 companies that triggered the event. I also tried to use user composition, so that

How to install Amplitude in Remix Js app ? SSR

Hello,I'm currently trying to install Amplitude in my Remix.js app and am not able to do so. I don't know whether to use the Node SDK and/or the Browser SDK.The Node SDK is working, but since it's SSR (Server-Side Rendering), I can't track events in onClick() functions, for example. When I try to use the Browser SDK to track these kinds of events, I'm not able to do so because Remix is an SSR framework.Have you run into the same issue?

iOS session duration is incorrectly high since iOS SDK 8.17.2 (or some other version newer than 8.10.0)

Hi All Since about autumn 2023 session length of some sessions started growing much to amounts clearly not in how our app is likely to be used (we are a job search app, not a game to have long sessions). We traced it down to the following:1. It is exactly iOS specific2. It seems to be happening exactly for the versions that have upgraded Amplitude SDK from 8.10.0 to 8.17.2 (i.e. for older versions of our app using older Amplitude SDKs we do not see such issues, at least not en masse)3. We digged and found many example of sessions that seem to be tracked not per Amplitude session tracking rules (that is session should end 5 min after no events happen). ExampleFor example in this session 1707114933154 you can see almost 1 hour long interval between events (a bit less than one hour, so it’s not likely to be some time zone error). We have similar examples for over 3 hours difference and so forth. What to do?As a quick fix, we are trying to roll back to Amplitude SDK 8.10.0, but what should

Using Group Identify with Ampli when web application is created but group properties changing in events with different data

Hi. I’m having an issue with the amplitude events showing different group_properties than originally set using groupIdentify. groupIdentify gets called once in the app to set the group properties for the events which should set it for future events. I noticed in the User Look-Up page in Amplitude Analytics, some of my events show the group_properties incorrectly while in the same amplitude session. Generic examples are below:for one user: ampli.groupIdentify("animalShelterName", "Operation Kindness", { animal: "Dog", id: 5, breed: "Poodle", animalShelterName: "Operation Kindness", })The group_properties that show up in events in User Look-Up page in Amplitude Analytics on the same session, same user: "group_properties": { "animalShelterName": { "Operation Kindness": { "animal": "Dog", "id": 5, "breed": "Golden Retriever", "animalShelterName": "Operation Kindness" } } }, "group_properties": { "animalShelterName": { "Op

Create dynamic cohorts using Behavioral cohorts API

There’s a requirement for creating dynamic cohorts in my Amplitude project with the help of existing Rest API. I am able to create a static cohort but it needs to be dynamic. The documentation doesn’t provide information about creating one. Is it possible to create one? If its possible, can someone point me in the right direction in regards to creating a dynamic cohort?

Amplitude support for browsers extensions

Hi there!We need some assistance in understanding how to track Amplitude metrics such as Active Users, Start Session, etc. from a browser extension. We would like to know how to send events from our extension that will be taken into account in metrics such as "Active Users", "New Users", "Average Session", etc., which are standard Amplitude Metrics.We have looked through the community and did not find anything specific on how to achieve this. We only found a suggestion to send custom events using the SDK, but we are not sure how to send events that have an impact on the Amplitude metrics we mentioned above.Can someone help us understand how to accomplish this? are there documentation that covers this topic? Thanks in advance!
