Export delayed events to Redshift

Hello,we have just start with data exports and we have a concern with delayed events.The order_key in the table is event_time, as I can read in the docs this is the difference between server_received_time and client_upload_time, but I cannot understand how it solves the case when the export needs to loads in Redshift delayed data, when the new data has been loaded.We are worried about using event_time could end on a loss of data in Redshift in case of a conflict between new event just received and old event that needs to be delivered, that Redshift will reject due to the order_key. A practical example could help us in understand the process.We would like to have an upload_timestamp  as order_key in a new column with a timestamp filled when the event is loaded in Redshift instead of Amplitude. We tried to add it to the table but the export failed because of the table structure. But in case we can be sure that event_time will solves it, this column could be not necessary.We have been thi

Come hang with John Cutler and me

Beyond an opportunity to learn, talking to John is incredibly fun and invigorating.So come hang out with us for a bit as we do what we do best -- gather each other's thoughts on the modern (mysterious) data landscape!(More specifically, we'll talk about how companies can derive value from data without investing in the perfect data stack -- this is relevant for both data and non-data people so do bring your colleagues over).

Facebook 2FA problem - can't connect data source

When I try to connect Facebook as a data source, it prompts me for 2FA authentication. When logging in to my personal Facebook account, I use the Code Generator found in the Facebook mobile app. However, the code in the mobile app does not work for the Business Manager 2FA.There are no options for another way to authenticate, and trying to change my 2FA settings leads to the same 2FA prompt. I’ve opened several tickets with Facebook about this but have had not success in fixing it.

When will Data be out of beta?

Hello!We are currently using Data (Beta) using a Trial Enterprise plan. We just wanted to know how close is Amplitude to officially launching Data, and out of Beta? If we decide not to use Data (Beta) - then what are the alternative features/add ons etc that we would use to gain the equivalent set up? For context, we would like surface data sitting in an S3 bucket through to Amplitude.Also, is there a place to submit feedback or any bugs that we encounter?Thank you!All the best,Helen

Integration with Amplitude SDK to send events into other SDKs

Hi Datamosters,My name is Vimlesh, i am the founder of UserExperior a digital experience monitoring product for mobile apps. I am really amazed by the way Amplitude has grown in these recent years and many of our clients using are using Amplitude are happy with its offerings.I am not a user of Amplitude, but many of our clients are using Amplitude. Most of our clients have requested us to build an integration with Amplitude where they send events to Amplitude and further these events can be sent to UserExperior via Amplitude. I have read about the APIs available which can push events but these are sever calls. We wanted to explore an option where the Amplitude SDK sends events into UserExperior SDK. We have similar integration which segment via a Middleware. So wanted to check if any of the fellow community members have tried to do something similar or any recommendations fellow community members have.Looking forward to learning a host of new things about Amplitude from fellow communit

Amplitude's Bulk Ingestion Experiment

Hey all, first post here. We use Amplitude and i noticed some wonkiness in my event timeline and then got this notice that there’s a test on the platform until 8/12 and if there’s any concerns to notify the “#ampl-bulk-ingestion-experimentation” slack channel. I didn’t know there was an Amplitude Customer Slack server - can i get a link to it to join!Also, we have a product launch coming up and i’d like to be testing our new events locally, so i’d like to know how to opt out of this experiment (since the wording makes it clear that events will be delayed). Thanks!

Some events not showing on traking plan

Hi, our company recently started using Amplitude for data tracking, and I started by implementing my tracking plan. I imported the plan via csv, but found some typos, and missing events which I added through the Data(beta) platform. My current issue is that some of the events I’m emitting from my application are not being tracked, they do not show up on the plan, not even as invalid events, and if I try to add the even manually I get the error message “Unable to create an event with a name that already exists.” Should I delete the whole tracking plan for now and start over?

Value had invalid type X% of the time

Hello! Why does one Event Property with type “Any” results in such alert, while other Event Properties don’t.  If open dropdown, I see that is suggests what type to select to get 100% views. Will fixing this via Data resolve the issue? What will happen if developers update or change properties or events in the app’s code?

Events with Invalid Event Properties from other Events

Hello! I had several Events marked Invalid in Data. If look into them, I see that there’re Invalid Event Properties that are not in tracking plan, but the issue is that these Event Properties don’t relate to the Event.Should I fist click “Add” and then remove such Event Properties from Event to fix it? As for example with “area” Event Property here:

Best practice for creating event properties

I have multiple events and these events have common properties.E.g. For Login and Logout events I will be having Email as an event property.What is the recommended way to create event property?Create a Email event property and add it to both events form add property button. Create an instance of Email for each event, I have existing events where an add icon present next to each property. If I click on add it creates a new instance of event property. Most of events have email as an event property, so now I have 33 instances of EmailId. Is this best practice or I should have one instance of EmailId and all events having this as an event property.

Use case of development environment.

Amplitude provides two types of environments, Production and Development.Production is the main environment where tracking of event happens. But what is the use case of development environment. In branches, there is no development branch. If I need to make changes then I have to create a new branch under the main branch. How will be the development environment is really used?

Show number of unique devices (based on device id), not unique user

Hi Amplitude community, So we pushed both user_id and device_id on our Amplitude. In Event Segmentation, I know that the current unique users is counted based on user_id (if exist).I wonder is there is a way to show the number unique devices (always based on device_id), instead of unique users in Event Segmentation? Here is the visual setting: Thanks!

description and display name set in data not showing up in analytics

Hi, I am testing adding a display name and/or description to an event. I have found this can be done in the Data area, but it’s not showing up elsewhere, for example when I search for events while building a chart or in user lookup areaHere is the event edits I made, about 5 days ago Here you can see it is not showing up elsewhere for that event  Is this a bug?

User properties but based on device_id not user_id

Hi Amplitude community,I want to push some device-related information on a certain event (i.e., screen_width, app_setting, etc). At this point, I think the sticking behaviour (fired as event_properties on following events) of user_properties handle this use case well enough, but it won’t work well with a user that have multiple device (it will stick on user_id instead of device_id, but CMIIW).Therefore, anyone now the best way to have a “device_properties” instead of “user_properties”? Thanks

Ampli API key security

Hello 👋🏻 I'm currently testing Ampli as a way to integrate Amplitude into React (TS) App. I’m using Ampli with Amplitude Data feature.Ampli looks very promising compared to default integration with amplitude-js, but I'm concerned about security of API key when ampli files are generated.TL/DR: Ampli on ampli pull is generating index.ts file with Amplitude Key for Production (Api key would be visible on repository). I'm not sure which files I should track with git and security of id's of ampli.json file. Ampli integrationI've integrated Ampli into React (TS) App according to the tutorial. Unfortunately, whenever I'm making an ampli pull, it pulls all new events but it also pulls API key and saves it directly in ampli/index.ts file.I tried recreating repository from Ampli Examples Example, but it stills on ampli pull add API key to ampli/index.ts.I'm concerned about that since I would like to make that repository public in the future. For now I would have to always manually delete api k
