Can I add members to a Dynamic Cohort?

Hi, I apologise if this is a trivial question but I am new to amplitude and the community. I have set up a dynamic cohort based on a specific event, however this event was only recently added to our product, and as such I have a large number of users who were never given the option to perform this event in the past. For the purposes of segmentation, I have manually atirbuted the correct cohorts to these historic users, and was hoping to be able to add them to the dynamic cohort which will now be my ground truth. I know how to create a cohort based on a csv list, but cannot find a way to add these users to the dynamic cohort. Is there anything I can do to join them? or am I stuck with broken data for all eternity?Thank you!

Can I suppress events before a particular date?

We recently realized that a new event that we were sending to Amplitude had some errors, and we wanted to suppress this data from showing up till 5/15. The data after 5/15 is okay, so ideally, we’d like there to be 0 events before 5/15 for a particular event and all events after 5/15. Can this be done in Amplitude?

How to pass and analyse the value of the field of a form?

On the home page of my website, we ask for zip code, name and email ID of the user. Under which taxonomy should I pass the input value by the users for these fields. Please know that there can be a lot of values for these fields. Also, once the values are passed, how can I download the list of these values to analyse it?

I’m new to Amplitude. I started sending Segment order events into Amplitude and i’m seeing that all of the properties within the the ‘products’ object are not appearing. The other top-level properties are working fine. Some examples of the properties that are missing::products.$.name products.$.brand products.$.priceAny ideas what’s going on?

Add list of values to event property

Hi there, I have a long list (80-100) of various product IDs that I want to add to various events. The IDs don’t have a common category, so usually I have to add them manually. I’ve read posts about various matching (I’m new to using query and regex), so I hope Amplitude has some way for me to add all IDs to the property, by a simple copy-paste. Usually when adding manually, it’ll look like the following image. I’ve tried adding the IDs as a single string, but no matter which sort of matching I’m using, I’m getting 0 event hits. Is there a smart way to do this? NB: ‘contains’ is dangerous to use as we have IDs (e.g. 1234) on the list, that also matches IDs (e.g. 12345 or 12346) outside the list.

Data Discrepancy

We have an amplitude connector extracting data from our app. The data is available on the amplitude dashboard and also on our snowflake api. We compared the data loaded via the amplitude connector to snowflake with that in the amplitude dashboard and we are seeing differences in the sessions measure. Also the session_id is not converting to an accurate timestamp of the relevant session.

Issues using the Revenue LTV REST Endpoint

I’m currently trying to pull revenue data for specific users out of Amplitude using the Revenue LTV endpoint but getting some unexpected behavior.Before I even added a segment definition to define specific users in the request I wanted to understand its behavior and I’m not getting the results I’d expect.GET https://amplitude.com/api/2/revenue/ltv?start=20210415&end=20210422&m=2&i=1Is the request I’m making. From the documentation I thought this would be the daily (i=1) TOTAL REVENUE (m=2) of our Users. However my response is essentially empty data:{ "data": { "series": [ { "combined": { "count": 0, "paid": 0, "r1d": 0, "r2d": 0, "r3d": 0, "r4d": 0, "r5d": 0, ….This continues for every day in the range. I make the same request except change the interval to 7 and…GET https://amplitude.com/

Hi community Do you know any way how we can show the results of A/B tests (as well as other tests) we run in Google Optimize in Amplitude?We thought about inserting a JavaScript string into each variant and creating an event for each of these in GTM but ithasn’t been tried yet doesn’t seem like an optimal solutionDo you have any better suggestions? Thanks!

Is there any way of grouping OSes my their major version?

Is there any way of grouping OSes my their major version?I have a lot of different versions of OSes which are recorded for the events from our app like ios 14.4, ios 14.2, ios 14.3, ios 14.4.2, ios 13.7, ios 13.6.1, ios 13.5.1 etc. Is there any way of making a chart with grouping them by their major version number like 12.X, 13.X and 14.X ?

Retention cURL on Dashboard Rest Api

Hello, I've been trying to get the retention using a starting event and return event.The cURL that i'm using (excluded the auth header): https://amplitude.com/api/2/retention?se=\{"event_type":"ce:notification_open_event"\}&re=\{"event_type":"Start%20Session"\}&start=20210412&end=20210415notification_open_event is a custom event and i'm trying to use the amplitude default event Start Session as well.the cURL keeps returning 400: Bad Request (Unable to create definition from arguments)the documentation (https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/dashboard-rest-api#retention-analysis) states that “Full event for the start action. Supports two "event_type" values: "_new" for new users, and "_active" for all users.”. Can it be a custom event as well? If not, what would be an alternative to do the same but with a custom eventThanks!

Use taxonomy Api to delete the event property

Hello, I am exploring the taxonomy api (https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/taxonomy-api).The requirement is to programatically delete the event-properties from the event.Assume that there is some event with name `Watched Videos` which contains numerous event_properties. I need to delete some specific event property from the event. e.g `1962_Artwork` is an event property in the event `Watched Videos`.I was trying to use the taxonomy api , below attached is the curl command and error. curl -u <api_key>:<secret> -X DELETE https://amplitude.com/api/2/taxonomy/event-property/1962_Artwork\?event_type\=Watched%20Video | jq '.' | lessresponse{ "errors": [ { "message": "Attempted to remove an event property, \"1962_Artwork\" for event \"Watched Video\", that is not a planned event property." } ], "success": false}Also tried using adding this property in the planned properties from the amplitude ui (https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047579471-Plan-even

Start Session as an event

Hi, I have two questions about setting and modifying events. 1. ‘Start Session’ as an eventI’ve known that ‘Start Session’ and ‘End Session’ events which are offered by amplitude automatically are visible on the ‘Pathfinder’ and ‘User Session’ chart. What if I want to use that on the other charts as an event? I checked this link and sent it to our developer, but he said it seems not possible because our app is made by react-native. (https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002323627-Tracking-Sessions) Is there any way to set up these to the event? 2. Change the name of event property valueAs changing our data structure, I’d like to change the name of the event property value. I thought it’s possible on the page ‘GOVERN’ but it just allows to change property name, not value name. Can I change it? Thanks!

With iOS14 removing visibility, we want to make sure we can continue to give our clients the confidence in investing in paid channels. How do we set up the right data points / assumptions to make up for the loss of attribution visibility?

Challenge:Most people will opt-out of sharing their privacy info when iOS14 fully rolls out and sends those notifications. Once that happens, FB (and other paid channels) will underreport on its performance of how many people converted from their platform, and product analytics will begin to lose key visibility. What can we set up on the product analytics / attribution side to solve the lack of visibility?Are there any formulas, or assumptions that could be in place to estimate actual FB conversions from the under-reported performance numbers FB shows?Need to figure out:Primary: Understanding how to make sure data integrity post-iOS 14 implementation is correct, and what specific actions we can take to solve for the data/attribution loss (assumptions? working with 1st party data sets? etc).Secondary: we currently use reporting/data on Kochava. Once SKAN compatible campaigns are up and running, understanding what it can/can’t tell us.Right now data flows to Kochava, and Amplitude. Also

Troubleshooting Attribution - It's Not Rocket Science!

Hi there Amplitude Community!Today I wanted to cover a topic that our team fields many a question about - troubleshooting missing events from our attribution partners.Quite a few of our customers make use of our various integrations to pipe in mobile attribution data. To date, we have direct integrations with Adjust, AppsFlyer and Branch - just to name a few. How the Attribution Integrations WorkAll of our attribution integrations use the Amplitude Attribution API to send data to Amplitude. This API was built primarily to collect attribution campaign events that contain attribution information, then match it with users via the Advertising ID (IDFA/IDFV/ADID). Things to Look Out For Since attribution is matched to Amplitude users via the Advertising ID, this data has to be included in attribution requests (set the IDFA, IDFV, and ADID fields where relevant) Advertising ID also has to be included in non-attribution events so that there’s something to match against Matching is case s
