Here’s the usecase I’m trying to satisfy:

  1. User starts generating Amplitude events, say today
  2. Their first touchpoint with the company was actually in the past and it would be nice to add an event that occurred 2 weeks ago.

I tried setting the time property in the Node SDK without success.

Hey @jon 

I’m not sure if we can “backfill” historical events using the SDks.
But you can send this using the HTTP API or the Batch Event Upload API ( if you have bulk events ) wherein you can specify the event time. You can read more on data backfill in this guide.

Let me know if I have interpreted your use case correctly. Hope this helps.
