Hide/Unhide events feature not working as intended

Hi all!We are using Amplitude Starter Plan and have found that hide/unhide events feature is not working as intended. As below image shows, the event “click select recharge type has “live” status, is “active” and is marked as “visible”. There are no pending changes in our main branch. Therefore, this event should be displayed in, for example, a segmentation chart: With these settings, if we try to create a segmentation chart with event “click select rechare type”, we see that the event is not displayed:  However, if we create a chart using any active event and filtering by event name, we can see that the event can be selected and data is shown:  How can we unhide the event to be shown again in a chart witouth filtering any active event by event name? Is this working as intended? We have checked the following links to a better undersating of hide/unhide feature: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047138392#change-visibility-status-for-an-event-or-propertyhttps://help.amplit

Tracking Records in ERP

I am trying to use Amplitude in a unique way here. We have an ERP solution that we manage and we want the ability to track records within Amplitude. The records we manage have varying status’s that we have built funnels around. As for users who login to the system, they can manage a multitude of records at a time.  Is this possible to do in Amplitude? if so, how have folks who have done this configured the funnel to track the records versus the users who are tracking the records. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Backfill historical data to BigQuery

I have a BigQuery data destination which works great. We were able to export all of our data since we started collecting data on August 10, 2022. We also recently imported historical data into Amplitude going back to October 2021. The issue is that the BigQuery backfill option is saying that it first saw data on August 10, 2022 (which is true) but we want to backfill the newly imported historical data all the way from October 2021. Is this possible? The calendar date picker doesn’t let me go beyond August 10, 2022.

Is their a taxonomy API endpoint for group properties?

I’m looking for an automated way to duplicate group properties across projects.  I see a User Property taxonomy API that provides the functionality to automate user property creation, but not one for groups.  Am I missing it?

Unable to setup a GCS Import

Dear Amplitude community & support team, Recently, I have been trying to setup a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) file Import into Amplitude, in order to add an event based on our internal DB onto our Amplitude instance.For this, I followed the GCS Import tutorial in the documentation’s page (found here), and so did the following:First of all, I’m working on a Dev GCP environment + Dev instance of Amplitude for this setup The GCS Bucket as well as the Service Account with the appropriate permissions have been created I then followed the instructions in the “Add a new GCS source” step, and manged to create my Source, which now appears in the “Sources” page of my Amplitude instance. However, after this, when I try to Edit the Import Config, I am running into the following error: On my GCS Bucket, I have put a test file (of the json.gz format), both in the root of the folder given in the previous step, and also following the folder structure required by the “Storage organization requirement

Event property name editing

HI!Can you please tell me how to change the event property name in Amplitude? If I change event property name in code - will this change the name of the property in the amplitude or create a new property?

append array unique values only

We would like to use an array to capture unique tag values on our user properties like a traditional set. We have a finite set of values but do not know what values have previously been sent to Amplitude from the client.We are using the .append() method to add the tags to the array and have checked “unique values” in the Data tool on the user property. However, this does not prevent duplicate tags from being inserted into the user property. e.g when appending tag “a” multiple times, we end up with multiple “a” entries on the user property array.Is there a way to enforce unique values in this user property array?I have tried sending a remove followed by an append on the same call, but the SDK drops the append as the property name has already been used:Identify().remove(“tags”, “a”).append(“tags”, “a”I could send two identify calls in quick succession with the first being the remove and the second an append, but I am not sure if Amplitude processing will always process these identify cal

Don't export User IP

Hello.Actually we are using Redshift export to get the events data into our database. One of the fields is the user IP, that is Personal Data Information. There is a way to select which fields do you want to get in the Redshift export configuration or any plan to add this functionality?Thanks.

Tracking plan for Hotels/Hospitality

Hello - I am looking for an guidance when it comes to a Tracking Plan for the Hotel/Hospitality industry. There is a lot of overlap between E-Commerce but there are certainly a lot more nuance properties outside of standard “promo” code used. Also -  looking to connect with anyone in the hospitaity-tech/fin-tech space. Michael :)

Learn how Statsig used the Integration Portal to build an Event Streaming destination benefiting our mutual customers

Learn how Statsig used the Integration Portal to build an Event Streaming destination benefiting our mutual customers.OverviewStatsig is a modern feature-management and product experimentation platform that helps you to ship faster by providing actionable causal analysis, meaningful data insights, and automatically running 10x more experiments.Customers use like, Ancestry, Headspace and Notion use Statsig to measure the impact of feature rollouts or experiments on key products metrics.  ChallengeTypically, most customers have minimal issues instrumenting specific metrics and events in Amplitude but can’t share this data with Statsig without jumping through hoops. This can involve installing a 3rd party Customer Data Platform (CDP) to forward the events from Amplitude to Statsig or exporting data from Amplitude into files and re-importing them into Statsig.These workaround solutions are fragile and create a higher chance of failure requiring ongoing maintenance. Additionally, file-based

Mapping event data from Snowflake into amplitude (Preserving device info)

Hey there! I’m attempting to pull in historical event data previously captured with segment into a new amplitude project so that we can analyze usage on web vs. mobile. I’ve successfully connected snowflake into amplitude, but I am unsure how to structure the query as as to preserve and correctly pass in the user agent data. I have a field called context_user_agent in snowflake which contains the raw data passed in from segment data formatted as such:  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 What field should I map this to in amplitude to be able to use the amplitude functional of segmenting on “platform” for instance?

How GoFundMe increased donations

“There are so many good features in Amplitude, but the biggest thing is that it changed how we operate. It has made my team and I so much more data-driven in how we think and work.  If you make more data-driven decisions, you make better decisions.”  - Ran Chen, former Head of Consumer Product at GoFundMe. GoFundMe is a social fundraising platform enabling campaigns across the globe.  Insight: Within months of using Amplitude, GoFundMe dug into the results of their experimentation effort.  They examined the impact on gross donation volume (GDV) of new variations of their online fundraising experience – sharing campaigns.Action: As a result, GoFundMe doubled its commitment to product innovation.  They expanded the number of sharing options, hypothesizing and testing more ways to share campaigns and changes to the fundraising page design and layout.Outcome: Grew GDV by 5% with new sharing experiences and another 4% with customer interface changes.

Switching Environments with Amply

I have a project with two environments, a development env and a production env, and I need to be able to switch between those environments while the app is running after it has already been launched. This does not seem to be supported by Ampli, the code gen file provided by Amplitude. Am I mistaken?

Old event property still coming through

A couple of months ago we changed one of our event properties from “pageName” to “Page name”. Currently, we’re only sending “Page name”.  However, when looking at the event it’s still showing the old property coming through:Unexpected Property100% of event volume included this property while it was unexpectedThe new property is coming through as well, with a 1-1 matching to this one, the same number of events fired for both. If you remove the whitespace and the capitalisation they are the same “pagename”.  Is there a reason for why I’m still seeing the old events coming through (even though we aren’t sending them in the payload)? Is there some way I can stop the old ones coming through, or is it intentional?

Warning: Event property limit but not in Data details.

I see this ^, so then I go to Data → Properties → Event Properties, and I see I only have <1K event properties. So I don’t understand why I am being warned about reaching the limit. ?

Cannot delete Event Properties with Unexpected status in Tracking Plan

Hi!Some days ago I removed a bunch of useless Event Properties in our Tracking Plan to not count towards our limit. They were successfully removed. After that we kept on receiving Events with those Properties and I realized that there’s a Schema Setting that I didn’t set to ‘Reject’ before removing the Properties.  I’ve already changed it to ‘Reject’ and not store those Event Properties in the future. However, the problem is that I’m not being able to remove all stored Event Properties marked as ‘Unexpected’. How can I do that?Thanks in advance!

Sending old events

When I create a new event, I also want to send old data for this.Is there any recommended way to do this?It seems like this may be possible by using the time field in the API, from my observations this seems to work for count totals.

How long for tracking plan changes to reflect?

I made events on my plan inactie and published the changes, however the MAU chart is not reflecting the update. Is there some SLA or delay that I should be aware of?
