Can I selectively delete or modify historical data on Amplitude?

Hi Amplitude Community, At the moment, it is not possible to selectively delete or modify historical events. Our current architecture is based on pre-aggregated sets by the hour, day, week and month for users and events. While this allows us to scale well, a limitation is that data is immutableThat being said, we have some options for specific use cases:You can use the Export API to pull all the data from their project, sanitize the data (remove properties), and then perform a Self Backfill and use Batch API to push events into a new Amplitude project. Please note that backfilling data will increase the event volume in your org, which may incur costs. Deleting the old project will not reduce the volume. Do you want just to drop certain data? Amplitude Data's drop filters feature allows you to remove specific event data from your charts at query time. These events are not deleted, and they can be restored to your charts simply by editing or deleting the drop filter. You can read more ab

How to configure user and group identification?

Hey!We are using Accounts add-on and started sending several events, but I am struggling to visualize these in Amplitude.Here is a summary of our set-up:We track users events, users are part of a group called “Customer” For the $identify event we send the following properties: groups: {Customer: "e11cffc6"} user_id: 123 event_properties: {Environment Type: "Production"} For the $groupidentify event we send the following properties: group_properties: {$set: {Customer Name: "IKEA"}} groups: {Customer: "e11cffc6"} user_id: 123 Questions:Did we configured the group analytics properly? As you can see, we added the Customer Name property only for the $groupidentify event and therefore you can’t tell the customer name in the User Lookup page. We would like to see how many Page View events were created per customer. Should we use Segment by users or customers option? Why do I get different results for each selection?

CI/CD for Tracking Plan when the source is a CDP

I love the way Amplitude deals with data governance! It makes so much sense to have a defined data tracking plan, and being able to make sure that all incoming events are a part of this plan.In our team, we use 3 environments, translating to 3 Amplitude projects - Dev, Staging, and Prod.I’d like to be able to “promote” a tracking plan from Dev to Staging to Prod. This would be achieved with the Ampli CLI, which seems like the right tool for the job.My issue arise from my usage of a CDP (Rudderstack) between my code generating the events, and Amplitude.The Ampli CLI ignores my Rudderstack source as it has no name - but I have no way to define a name for it in the UI. I’d love to learn of different ways I can use the Amplitude Tracking Plan as part of my CI/CD pipeline, or how to use the Ampli CLI with a CDP source. Thanks!Irad

How much does the Accounts add-on cost?

If we subscribe to the Plus Plan, how much will the Accounts add-on cost? Crazy that I have to post this in here - can’t find a way to contact Amplitude directly.

Is there a way to use a block filter on utm parameters?

I was hoping to apply a block filter, similar to what I’ve done with IP addresses, on Amplitude. We want to leverage a utm parameter, specifically medium, to filter out synthetic tests. Is there a way we could do this?

Unable to delete valid user via API

Hi Team, our service makes request to Amplitude Delete API by first finding user details then submitting a delete request. Despite the fact we receive valid userId and amplitudeId from findUser API, the Delete API returns “Nothing scheduled due to invalid amplitude/user ids for org...” We have retried this Delete API call > 10 times. Furthermore, when this has happened in the past, subsequent calls to the Delete API were successful in the 2nd try. So the team is unsure of how to proceed.Might the team have any insight?

Adding Amplitude to a Wix Site

Please do not point me to the documentation. I have read through all of the documentations and they are all missing something for how to actually make Amplitude work on Wix. I have done exactly what this article says, and i have followed both the outdated and the new version of this article. I have even added the SDK right into the page code itself and still no dice. Every time i run it i get the “amplitude is not defined” error. It is behaving as though no library of functions is ever called. If i had to guess i need to place something along the lines of “import amplitude from *********” somewhere. Something like this has to be missing from the documentation. If anyone has actually successfully added amplitude to a Wix website would you please show me how?

How to use Amplitude on WIX websites

WIX.com is a cloud-based development platform that allows you to build your own website without the need to code it from A to Z. If you want to track events that are triggered on your WIX websites, that’s where Amplitude comes in.Initializing Amplitude on WIX is quite simple and is done just by copypasting our Browser SDK 2.0 initialization snippet into the Settings of your WIX website:Open the Settings of your WIX website and go to the ‘Advanced’ tab → Custom code Click ‘Add Custom code’ to add our JavaScript SDK code to your WIX website Go to our Browser SDK 2.0 documentation and copy the installation snippet (make sure you also grab your Project’s API key and put it in the code instead of ‘YOUR_API_KEY_HERE’  Add this snippet to your WIX Custom Code field, name this code snippet some meaningful name if you want (e.g ‘Amplitude Initialization’), select load once/load code on each new page and make sure you place it in the Head of your website code.  Ta-da! Make sure the toggle is on

"Suggestions" in Amplitude Analytics and Data -- Is this ChatGPT?

I noticed a new feature pop up in Amplitude Data -- “suggestions” on event names, property names, and descriptions.Is this an implementation of ChatGPT or a GPT variant of some sort?If so, would you please point me to where in the “fine print” we automatically consented to have our data used with a GPT variant?Other SaaS companies force you to either consent or reject to this use of your data before making the feature live in your account, which would be good form, given the complicated tangle of ethics and privacy issues at play in the generative large language model side of the industry. Also… My company would like to opt-out of giving our consent and request the means to do so.

Retroactively adding property groups?

Let’s say I have a bunch of old events with the properties albumName artistName genre recordLabel releaseDate songDuration songTitle   I’ve added these to a few Events already, but then I discover property groups and create a new Song property group.I can add these to new events that don’t have the Song property group, but how can I convert my legacy event properties to the property group? Should I just delete the properties and re-add the property group?

We need to be notified when traffic to a specific chart changes

https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001764612-Insights-Spot-anomalies-in-your-metrics-quickly-with-alerts More specifically, we’d probably have to set up multiple alerts, based on traffic to the first step of a funnel, also to the last step in the funnel.The above link implies that the Insights add-on should be able to help with this if the organization has the Growth plan enabled, which we do.  I looked at a chart which I am creator of, and there’s a “bell” icon at top right next to the “more” drop down menu, which does allow set up of alerts (which implies that the Insights add-on is already built in to our plan possibly??) however, it seems to not allow the last 7 or 30 days, or any choice at all.  @Esther Trapadoux are there permission levels I need, or what other thing am I missing to have an alert set up for traffic changes to a funnel chart?  Thank you. @mkoiva

Remove internal users from analysis

Hi, I’m looking to exclude internal users from my A/B testing analyses. When we all worked in the office it was easy to block the IP, but since our company is primarily remote workers I’m looking for a solution where I can create a segment that excludes everyone on our team from my test data. I don’t believe that asking individual users to somehow block themselves will be successful, so I was thinking about creating a segment and blocking user ids. It would be anywhere from 25-100 people so any suggestions are welcome.
