Sync labels and values across projects?

Our Amplitude setup consists of a number of projects all managed by their own dev teams in accordance to their own codebases. Since each dev team managed their own implementation of amplitude, the event labels and values are all over the place despite pulling similar data. We’re working with the snowflake connector to get all the data collected by each project into a data warehouse so we want to make everything uniform for ease of reporting. Does anyone have a recommendation for syncing up the labels and values across projects?  Best I can tell, the only way to do so is have each team go in and correct their own custom properties to match an agreed upon designation for each.  Hoping there might be an easier solution.

Is there a way to bulk move events

I’m new to using Amplitude and I’m currently creating event properties in Amplitude. Accidently there’s 32 event properties created in the wrong project, is there a way I can bulk move these events to the right project?

Determining total video duration from individual video viewed heartbeat events.

We are publishing a video view event every 15 seconds until the video is completed or the user closes the tab/viewer.   I would like compute the approximate time that the video is counting all the video view event for that user and that specific video.  Is there a way I can do that ?

Amplitude Data Entry Position Scam

Hi. I applied to a posting for a Data Entry Admin position I found on FB. After discussing the position with the person whom posted it, I was given a phone number to a Ben White and was asked to message him. I msg'd him and he advised me to download Microsoft Kaizala for an immediate interview. My interview was with Sue Anderson. All very common names that are impossible to google and attach to the Amplitude team. After the text only interview, I was sent an offer letter that was extremely generic! Only the Amplitude logo. No company address, no advising phone numbers, no point of contact which I find highly suspect. The letter was signed by Kristina Johnson. Again, no email for Kristina, no phone number, no info at all. For a big company as this one, Id think the letters would be far more professional. But this is all new to me so maybe im wrong. But my intuition is far to great to sit and say nothing. Could someone please advise me on human resource practices with Amplitude. Also I d

Benefits having 2 different browser SDK sources

Hello,I was curious to know if there are any benefits of having two different browser SDK sources even if the API key is same in Amplitude ? Is is possible to differentiate both of the data streams even if the API key is same ?

Do you know why same event shows separately?

Can events with the same event name be displayed separately in the event list? In the code, it is set based on the same standard(also removed shortcutKind property in the code), but the event is divided into two according to the property value. (Mutually exclusive except kind = 'position')

What are event tags useful for?

Hi everyone,Are event tags particularly useful in Amplitude, beyond just the Data Governance of events? For example, Categories are useful because they’re used to group events which makes creating charts easier. But as far as I know, tags don’t have the same benefit.  I couldn’t find any useful reading material on this topic so hopefully others may find this useful too.  Thanks Raul

What's the best way to handle data from 2 platforms (i.e. example.com and blog.example.com)

We have two sites that we’d like to track using Amplitude (i.e. example.com and blog.example.com).We were planning to set up one project for each site, but we want to be able to analyze the data from both sites in one dashboard on Amplitude.What would be the best approach for this?

Average Time Between Events

What I’m currently needing is a way to track the average amount of time it takes to complete the conversion from one event to another. I’m currently really close to achieving this, as we’re sending the events we’re needing to measure the time between and have a Funnel graph that shows “Current Median Time to Convert”, but I’m only interested in the average (or mean) time to convert, not the median. Is it possible to have this same type of graph or something similar but with average time to convert on the y-axis instead of median time? So far I haven’t been able to find a way to achieve this. I reached out to a member of Amplitude support a while ago and his only response to this question was that he did not currently know of a solution…

Effectively renaming events

Hey there,  We introduced a new naming convention and now have some legacy events we need to rename. In general, we see two options:(1) Adding renamed events in code(2) Renaming existent events in the UI As for Option 2, it seems the renaming of events doesn`t have the effect we aspire, i.e. that one can browse the event by the new name when creating reports, etc.   Is there an option to change the event name in such a way that the new name is displayed in the UI? Same question for related properties.  P.S. If you have other arguments on why to pursue Option 1 or Option 2, please share :)

Query user properties in Amazon Redshift Export

When you export the Amplitude data into Amazon Redshift the Group Properties come out as a json object something like this as an example {"Account Name": {      "MadeUpCompany": {                    "Plan": “Premium”,                    "monthlySpend": "5.00",                   }               }} For both user and event properties you can just call the json property in the SQL as it isn’t nested - user_properties.plan or event_properties.OSversion  However in the Group Properties function (if you have it enabled) it has the Account Name first so you can’t access the properties like this group_properties.plan or group.monthlySpend Any reference to those needs to contain the company name - such as  group_properties.MadeUpCompany.Plan = “Premium” This isn’t workable in SQL as every customer has a different customer name. Is there another to extract at this level in Amazon Redshift - has anyone found a simple solution?

Facebook/Google Ads Integration - Will it dynamically update?

Hi all! With the google and facebook ads integration that Amplitude offers, do I have to run this manually or will the clicks/impressions etc be sent repeatedly/every day? I’m reading the documentation and it looks like its just a historic import?

Issue: Hightouch sync into Amplitued

Issue with piping data from Snowflake to Amplitude pipeline via HightouchBackgroundWe pipe events from Snowflake into Amplitude via a Hightouch sync.Sometimes the syncs work perfectly. Meaning Hightouch queries Snowflake and returns the exactly correct number of new events. Amplitude successfully receives the events.Sometimes the syncs work imperfectly but are close. Meaning Hightouch queries Snowflake and returns the exactly correct number of new events. Amplitude almost receives all the events but is short a few in almost every daily sync.Sometimes the syncs completely fail. Meaning Hightouch queries Snowflake and returns the exactly correct number of new events but Amplitude fails to receive any events.IssueIn order for our stakeholders to use this data reliably, we need the syncs to work correctly every time. Has anyone had this issue and can you please help us debug this issue? Because Hightouch’s numbers always match the counts in Snowflake, we believe this is an issue on Amplitu

What is the point of role based access to API keys when the Ampli CLI serves them up to ayone?

According this page only Manager or Admin roles have access to API keys.  However the Ampli CLI pulls keys down without regard to user roles.  This then prevents Managers and Admin from withholding production keys until data governance requirements are met. This is a major access hole.  Change my mind.

Java Implementation Timeline Approximation

Hi All, I work with a non-profit who has recently joined the scholarship program, and we’re looking to implement Amplitude into our data collection.  Disregarding the time spent to develop the taxonomy, how long on average does the implementation process tend to take using the Java SDK.  I recognize that this may not be enough information to give a definitive answer, but general estimations will still be valuable.  Alternatively, I’d be happy to fill in any information you would need to make this kind of assessment. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Best,Travis

Creating arrays in Cart Analysis in Amplitude

 Hi all. We are currently in the stage of integrating amplitudes after the contract has been signed, but it has not yet entered into force and we cannot test Cart Analysis in Data. My question is, can I use an array to list the categories as shown below in the code. I took the sample code from https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/9623000954907 and added some values in the category. Our products can often be in different categories, so I have this need. Perhaps you can suggest another solution, for example, maybe send the category property twice with different values and it will be associated with one product? The second question is how to properly plan such properties? Should I schedule both parent and child properties? And what type should the parent property have? Thank you all for your reply.products: [ { product_id: 1, sku: '45360-32', name: 'Special Facial Soap', category: ['name1','name2'], price: 12.60, }, { product

Using Derived Properties to Calculate Status

I’m am looking for some assistance using derived properties to calculate a new flag for Trialing Expired based on a string field and a date stamp field. We have a user property for membershipStatus with a value of “trialing” and date/time field for Trial Expiration Date and Extended Trial Expiration Date formatted like this 2023-04-08T18:36:48.113Z.  I want to leverage derived properties to determine if a user is Trialing Expired (true/false) based on the following: membershipStatus = “trialing” AND (Trial Expiration Date OR Extended Trial Expiration Date <= TODAY())I think my underlying issues are with comparing the date fields to TODAY().   I have attempted leaving our Trial Expiration Date Field as is, along with converting them into a unix timestamp with both DATE_TO_LONG and TIME_TO_LONG to compare to TODAY(), but still running into issues.Thank you!

How to export all the user data?

Hi there,I want to export all the user data from Amplitude, especially the IDs, like the Amplitude ID, Merged ID and the userID. But the only way I found is to use the user search API. But this API has a very small hour;y rate limitation. Is there any other way to do this?I noticed that we could also export to Snowflake or GCS, but in the document, it mentioned thatExport events ingested today and moving forward, Export all merged Amplitude IDs, or export both. Does this mean that it only gonna export the data starting from the day that I set up the connection, or all the historical data will be exported as well?
