Can I selectively delete or modify historical data on Amplitude?

Hi Amplitude Community, At the moment, it is not possible to selectively delete or modify historical events. Our current architecture is based on pre-aggregated sets by the hour, day, week and month for users and events. While this allows us to scale well, a limitation is that data is immutableThat being said, we have some options for specific use cases:You can use the Export API to pull all the data from their project, sanitize the data (remove properties), and then perform a Self Backfill and use Batch API to push events into a new Amplitude project. Please note that backfilling data will increase the event volume in your org, which may incur costs. Deleting the old project will not reduce the volume. Do you want just to drop certain data? Amplitude Data's drop filters feature allows you to remove specific event data from your charts at query time. These events are not deleted, and they can be restored to your charts simply by editing or deleting the drop filter. You can read more ab

How to split shared properties

Hi,  I have a few events which have the same property name but each have different values sent to the same property name. I want to rename the property to be less generic. Is there a way to split the values of a share property name?

Send Identify event from Segment to Amplitude

Hello,  We are using Segment to collect events and send them to Amplitude. Our source code is in PHP, and this concerns the Identification event. Here the format of event: client.Identify(&analytics.Identify{   UserId: "XXXXXXXX",   Traits: map[string]interface{}{     "creation_date": "2024-07-22T06:14:30.000Z",     "is_akeneo_user": false,     "job_profile": "unknown",     "pim_user_group_ids": map[string]interface{}{       "0": "srnt-xxx@5",       "1": "srnt-xxx@11",     },     "pim_user_group_labels": map[string]interface{}{       "0": "srnt-xxx@IT support",       "1": "srnt-xxx@All",     },     "pim_user_id_prod": "srnt-xxx@1",     "pim_user_type": "user",   }, }) The problem is that it arrives in Amplitude in a format that is difficult to use. Here the format in Amplitude: pim_user_group_ids.0 pim_user_group_ids.1 pim_user_group_labels.0 pim_user_group_labels.1 So we change format from backend to spend this event: client.Identify(&analytics.Identify{   UserId: "XXXXXXX",

Adding Amplitude to a Wix Site

Please do not point me to the documentation. I have read through all of the documentations and they are all missing something for how to actually make Amplitude work on Wix. I have done exactly what this article says, and i have followed both the outdated and the new version of this article. I have even added the SDK right into the page code itself and still no dice. Every time i run it i get the “amplitude is not defined” error. It is behaving as though no library of functions is ever called. If i had to guess i need to place something along the lines of “import amplitude from *********” somewhere. Something like this has to be missing from the documentation. If anyone has actually successfully added amplitude to a Wix website would you please show me how?

Default Properties Missing for some users

We recently instrumented Amplitude & are seeing an issue where the default user properties are set to none for almost 30% of our users even though custom user properties are being set for these users.Have been unable to spot a pattern or root cause for this. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Unique user id

Hello all,We are using amplitude in our phaser based android and ios app. We have an escalation from the client with amplitude data displaying “all android users as 1 single android user”. The have provided with  dashboard screenshot showing list events where user id’s  shown as as “android-user” where they insisting it should actually show uniq ids for example, such as 83939399322.    Note: Here we using   AmplitudeServerZone set to EU do you think its default behaviour in EU zone due to GDPR restriction or Do you thing we are missing something in the implementation of app side. Thanks-Shakthi

Despite being admin I have no access to workspace in CLI

We have a project which has android and iOS mobile app. I work in iOS team and I have admin role in amplitude. I installed latest CLI and tried to update with ampli pull command. Before that I logged in with ampli login and it correctly shows my name, zone and org. But despite of that I’m getting this error:✘ ERROR Current user doesn't have access to the workspace in ampli.json. Run ampli login to login as another user. You may need to ampli logout first. I’m out of ideas what else I can do here…

/api/2/deletions/users ignore_invalid_ids not working

I am running the following: import requestsimport jsonfrom requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuthurl = "https://amplitude.com/api/2/deletions/users"payload = json.dumps({ "user_ids": [ "this_one_exists", "does_not_exist" ], "requester": "test@gmail.com", "ignore_invalid_ids": True,})headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'}auth = HTTPBasicAuth('API_KEY', 'SECRET_KEY')response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, auth=auth)print(response.text) Notice that in user IDs, one value does exist on Amplitude, and the other doesn’t. I get the following response: {'error': {'http_code': 400, 'type': 'invalid', 'message': 'Invalid definition', 'metadata': {'details': 'invalid amplitude_ids and/or user_ids given for app [%s]. invalid amplitude ids: [%s], invalid user_ids: [%s]'}}} My understanding is that the first should be added to the batch queue, and the second should be reported as an invalid ID. Am I doing something wrong here? T

Identifying Unexpected Enum Values

I’m seeing warnings under “Investigate Issues” that some of my events have “Unexpected Enum Values”. How do I see which values are coming through which are unexpected?I can see the list of enums in my tracking plan. I could try & map this with all events coming through; but that’s quite manual. I’m hoping there is a report which shows me the acutal values that are coming through which aren’t in the enum list.

Allow team to edit all charts in a space

Hello! It’s important for our use-case to allow 3 team members to ‘save’ all charts in a space rather duplicate with ‘save as’. I’m aware this is possible via the ‘share’ button in top right of each chart, but this manual work for each is burdensome. Documentation here: Collaborate on your analyses using spaces outlines the ability to use spaces to manage permissions.There are three levels of permissions:Can add: The user can add items or folders, or move existing content. Can edit: The user can edit, archive, and save changes to all content in the space. Can view: The user can only view the content residing in the space. However, these options are not available in my space. I have attempted ‘my space’ → Settings and Members → I view list of members, with no ability to set edit permissions. How can I get to these configurations to perform this bulk chart edit access capability?

Build derived properties to determine how many days until a future contract end date is approaching.

Analysis limitations on date fields Use cases to expand analysis and targeting on date fields relative to TODAY() Extract this data and stamp it onto a newly derived property with retroactive data  Build analyses and cohorts with newly derived propertiesAnalysis limitations on date fieldsAre you tracking a property where data type = date?Sample group property date field synced from Salesforce to AmplitudeThere are a few ways you can filter on date fields in Amplitude today. You can build a cohort or chart segment using the following operator conditions= specific date ≠ specific date ∋ portion of the date string ∌ portion of the date string > or ≥ specific date (all days after that single point in time) < or ≤ specific date (all days before that single point in time) However, these are all relatively static filters.

How to configure user and group identification?

Hey!We are using Accounts add-on and started sending several events, but I am struggling to visualize these in Amplitude.Here is a summary of our set-up:We track users events, users are part of a group called “Customer” For the $identify event we send the following properties: groups: {Customer: "e11cffc6"} user_id: 123 event_properties: {Environment Type: "Production"} For the $groupidentify event we send the following properties: group_properties: {$set: {Customer Name: "IKEA"}} groups: {Customer: "e11cffc6"} user_id: 123 Questions:Did we configured the group analytics properly? As you can see, we added the Customer Name property only for the $groupidentify event and therefore you can’t tell the customer name in the User Lookup page. We would like to see how many Page View events were created per customer. Should we use Segment by users or customers option? Why do I get different results for each selection?

CI/CD for Tracking Plan when the source is a CDP

I love the way Amplitude deals with data governance! It makes so much sense to have a defined data tracking plan, and being able to make sure that all incoming events are a part of this plan.In our team, we use 3 environments, translating to 3 Amplitude projects - Dev, Staging, and Prod.I’d like to be able to “promote” a tracking plan from Dev to Staging to Prod. This would be achieved with the Ampli CLI, which seems like the right tool for the job.My issue arise from my usage of a CDP (Rudderstack) between my code generating the events, and Amplitude.The Ampli CLI ignores my Rudderstack source as it has no name - but I have no way to define a name for it in the UI. I’d love to learn of different ways I can use the Amplitude Tracking Plan as part of my CI/CD pipeline, or how to use the Ampli CLI with a CDP source. Thanks!Irad

Is there a way to use a block filter on utm parameters?

I was hoping to apply a block filter, similar to what I’ve done with IP addresses, on Amplitude. We want to leverage a utm parameter, specifically medium, to filter out synthetic tests. Is there a way we could do this?

Unable to delete valid user via API

Hi Team, our service makes request to Amplitude Delete API by first finding user details then submitting a delete request. Despite the fact we receive valid userId and amplitudeId from findUser API, the Delete API returns “Nothing scheduled due to invalid amplitude/user ids for org...” We have retried this Delete API call > 10 times. Furthermore, when this has happened in the past, subsequent calls to the Delete API were successful in the 2nd try. So the team is unsure of how to proceed.Might the team have any insight?

How to use Amplitude on WIX websites

WIX.com is a cloud-based development platform that allows you to build your own website without the need to code it from A to Z. If you want to track events that are triggered on your WIX websites, that’s where Amplitude comes in.Initializing Amplitude on WIX is quite simple and is done just by copypasting our Browser SDK 2.0 initialization snippet into the Settings of your WIX website:Open the Settings of your WIX website and go to the ‘Advanced’ tab → Custom code Click ‘Add Custom code’ to add our JavaScript SDK code to your WIX website Go to our Browser SDK 2.0 documentation and copy the installation snippet (make sure you also grab your Project’s API key and put it in the code instead of ‘YOUR_API_KEY_HERE’  Add this snippet to your WIX Custom Code field, name this code snippet some meaningful name if you want (e.g ‘Amplitude Initialization’), select load once/load code on each new page and make sure you place it in the Head of your website code.  Ta-da! Make sure the toggle is on
