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

Log into https://data.amplitude.com/ to create one.But in our app we have one source React native SDK with name ReactNative.

Advice on events (user + event properties) - app with users part of multiple organizations

Hey everyone, So I get that events are best suited to track on the user level.In the app that we build a user is a global user that can join and be a Member of several different organizations. (think slack, workspaces) So my question would be how would be best to build the user properties so that you can show in which workspaces a user is part of and the role they have. I see there is concept of arrays in the docs but let’s say I’m in workspaceA with role1, workspaceB with role1 and workspaceC with role2.https://amplitude.com/docs/sdks/analytics/browser/javascript-sdk#arrays-in-user-properties Also see there is account add-on in amplitude (have not seen it yet, waiting for plan upgrade) and wonder how this could be useful, for example, to easily make aggregate reports based on workspaces (regardless how many users are there)https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/account-level-reporting Would appreciate feedback/advice from someone that have tackled those problems before. Best,JD

Advice on initial setup - website (no session) + legacy and new gen product

Hello community, New here, so far love Amplitude, can’t wait to start using it at scale. I started with reading manual and diving into the academy but I would appreciate to bounce of thoughts/ideas on initial setup in amplitude. The setup My situation is we have a website (no user session) and product in the following platforms:website (no session) product app ( user logs in )The thing is we have legacy product let’s call it version 1 and a new product version 2. For some time users will experience both version 1 and 2 but ultimately the idea is to sunset version 1. The amplitude setup question Option 1Do we create one single amplitude project that combines the website and product 1 and product 2.Pros:not really sure what might be pros. It would be great if could track someone across everywhere but not really the case.Cons:user ids are different in product 1 and 2 so it’s hard actually to track cross projects for example events like “User register” should use some property to tell if t

Reference event timestamp in a derived property?

Is there any way to reference the time of an event in a derived property formula? I am trying to create a derived property that calculates the difference in time between a date in a user property (the users account creation date) and the date of the event being measured. I have gotten it to work using the TODAY() function, but I can’t seem to find any way to reference the event time itself. TODAY() only works if looking at the last N days, but I can’t use it to create historical trends. ThanksDIVIDE( MINUS( TODAY() , DATE_TO_LONG( REGEXEXTRACT( PROPERTY( 'first_insert_date', 'user' ), "^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}" ) ) ), 86400000)

Cleanup old properties to get under property limit without blocking future reuse of those properties

We are bumping into our property limit and need to clean things up. Admittedly our data governance has been lacking for awhile and has caused us to have a lot of events/properties that showed up years ago for a bit and are no longer used.In my naive attempt to resolve this issue I went and found all properties not seen > 2 years ago and deleted them. This does seem to have removed them from the property limit count but after digging around a bit in docs I realized there is a nuanced behavior to deleted events/properties in that they are actually ‘blocked’ as well. As such, if a ‘new’ event is sent that has a property that matches one of these deleted property it won’t be associated w/ the event or saved in Amplitude. It does seem like these properties can be undeleted to solve that but the delete behavior is a bit problematic because it creates a ‘gotcha’ that could confuse neophytes or be missed and impact our data collection. Property names are usually rather simplistic like ‘butt

Issue while adding new environment in Amplitude project

Hello,I need to create a new project in Amplitude and link 2 environments for it, that shows under Data for that project.Following the documentation, I created a new project called Test (screenshot attached). In Data section project settings, under Environment,I see one environment is already created and linked to it. As I tried to create a new environment, under the Select Project I could not find the other project I wanted it to connect (screenshot attached). It has an option to Add or Manage project, but that is taking to all projects list. I checked individual project settings but didn’t find any option to link either.Can anyone please help on this. I am new to Amplitude, apologies if the question is too basic.@belinda.chiu

Snowflake key-pair authentication keeps failing and data export errors

I recently switch authentication for the user exporting data from Amplitude to Snowflake from username password to key-pair authentication. I follow the instruction on screen, but every time I switch from pw to key-pair, the export fails with the following codeErrorsError Type: SnowflakeTime: Invalid DateTimeMessage: JWT token is invalid. [143cbb72-85dc-4e2c-8bc7-fef3a0d42fd4]The login to Snowflake succeeds (I checked the login history table there). Also, if I switch back to password auth it works as expected. Given the very small degree of customization allowed here, I don’t know what might be happening and how to solve this.

Export data to private redshift cluster

Hi,We're interested in leveraging Amplitude's Redshift export feature, but our Redshift cluster resides in a private subnet within our VPC.We're hesitant to expose it publicly. I looked at the docs and the community posts trying to find something about this topic and found nothing. Does anyone know if Amplitude offer a VPC peering solution for Redshift export? If so, could you provide guidance on how to set it up or a link to the documentation? Thank you in advance!

Support for Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2

Hello, are there any plans to implement support for the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2? This framework enables publishers and developers to collect region-specific consent via a Consent Management Platform (CMP) and allows vendors like Amplitude to retrieve and apply those preferences.

Duplicated and Missing Data events

Hello, I am using the Webhook Destintation functionality on the data connections.I send events through Webhook and I have found 2 issues constantly happeningThere are missing events and events that fail to be delivered for a missing property I’m using that is actually present. Then I go to find the specific event in a Segmentation chart, if I filter by that property being missed I do find some events but then when look deeply into those events they do have the property. Some events don’t even appear in the data connection counter and some of them fail with this error that is not accurate. Duplicated events. This is less serious but many events are sent multiple times to the WebhookMany thanks for the help and clarifications,Best,Vicente

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?

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

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…

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?
