Can we update another user's properties by triggering an event with the current user?

Let’s assume that we have event X and Y, and we have users A and B that has both of the events.

When user A do the event X, I want to increase the number of event Y’s in user B.

Is it possible in any way? Can I change the other user’s properties?

Hey there, thank you for writing in!

If you can code it in the backend (some function that is triggered by the actions of one user and than makes changes to a different user) - Amplitude should have no problem with that I think.

You could check out our HTTP API https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/http-api-v2 or make use of our Attribution API to update user properties! https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/attribution-api
