Missing Web Events due to Ad Blockers and How to Handle It

Hi there Amplitude Community!When using Amplitude Web SDKs, it is possible that some users’ events are not ingested into Amplitude due to ad blockers. Currently, we are not able to estimate the percentage of events that do not get ingested as we do not have the data to support it. While we do not offer official support for circumventing ad-blockers, our Engineering Team has provided a workaround - run a reverse proxy through your own domain. Please note that it is best that this process is done by an Engineer or a Developer as this is a technical workaround.Details on what a proxy service is and how to use it in this setting can be found here:https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/analytics/domain-proxy/Hope this helps! ----- please give this post a thumb-up if you find it helpful! This will help us know what content we should publish in the future :) -----Amplitude Team

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

CSV Export Contains Quotation Marks or Leading Spaces - WHY?

Hi Amplitude Community!We would like to provide context about the quotation marks or leading space in CSV exports. Our engineering team modified exported CSVs to include additional quotation and tab characters in front of all values as a preventative measure for a security risk known with CSV downloads (details here). Attackers can potentially use a formula to inject false data or leak data. And in order to prevent formula triggering cells from running, our engineering team revamped our CSV exports by prefixing quotation and tab characters in front of all values.With that being said, while that security issue remains, we received feedback from customers who said that they were willing to take that risk. Therefore, we implemented a way to export CSVs from Amplitude without any characters in front for those users. If you are willing to take that risk as well, you can enable the feature to remove the spaces in your CSV in your Org Settings section on the Profile page. You can scroll down

Currency Conversion at Amplitude

Hi Amplitude Community, Amplitude currently does not support currency conversion. If you receive revenue in different currencies, then we recommend normalizing to a single currency before you send us revenue data. Amplitude logs the exact revenue value sent to us and treats it as a numerical value (not a currency value). By default, the currency sign we display in the dashboard is the dollar sign, "$".You can change this display under Organizational settings > Projects > Currency Display. Please check this doc for more information: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/15581410157339. NOTE: Changing the currency display does not modify nor convert the underlying data. ----- please give this post a thumb-up if you find it helpful! This will help us know what content we should publish in the future :) -----Amplitude Team

Instrumenting the Duration Event Property

Media customers that are interested in tracking the amount of time users spend on their products would be interested in instrumenting a property that measures the duration between two events. With this property, users can then measure various items such as Average Property Value, Median Property Value, or use the duration values in complex formulas in our Event Segmentation: Formulas chart.  To track duration, you would need to capture the timestamp of a Start Event and timestamp of an End Event, calculate the difference between the two timestamps, and then pass in the duration as an event property for the End Event. In our demo account this End Event is called Played Song, and here is an example chart: https://analytics.amplitude.com/demo/chart/new/snewb09  As an example for Page View events, let's say you have a Start Event = 'Viewed Home Page' and an End Event = 'Clicked Signup'. When the user fires the 'Viewed Home Page' event, you can create a variable in your code called first_ti

Filtering out Anonymous Users

Hi there,I’m new to Amplitude and using the mobile SDK in our app. I’m also using OneSignal for messaging across multiple channels.Currently, I’m trying to re-engage users that have no app usage in the X number of days, and trying to filter out anonymous users within a cohort.Is this possible? I’ve tried different operators with multiple variants of “Anonymous User” as User ID but it doesn’t seem like Amplitude even sees the term or the word Anonymous.Thanks!

Copying custom events from project to project

I have dev and prod Amplitude projects for both a web app and a mobile app. (4 projects)I see theres a way to import and export the schema between projects.The mobile app will use custom events to refine autocapture element interactions by their target accessibility identifer for easier use.   Web will use visual labeling.Is there a way to copy over custom events and labeled event definitions from one project (dev) to another (prod)?

Event property with url parameter

In our product, customer page URLs include dynamic values in the format like /stores/:id/popular. Currently, when testing the integration with Amplitude, the actual id values are being sent, which makes it difficult to analyze the data effectively. How can I ensure events are sent correctly to Amplitude while addressing this issue?

How to interpret the breakdown of Monthly New Users in the new retention chart?

Hi, I am struggling to understand the following breakdown in the Monthly New Users view in the new retention chart.  My understanding is that for July 2024, there are 72078 new users. But I am having trouble understanding what the breakdown of Jul 2024, Aug 2024, Sep 2024, etc mean? Does it mean that out of the 72078 new users from July 2024, 12283 of them came back in Aug 2024? I don’t think this is correct because on the July 2024 overall row, it shows in Month 1 there are 10050 users. And if this is the case Jul 2024 should match the overall row. Does anyone know what’s the correct interpretation?

Custom or Inline Events on Engagement Matrix

Hello, Looking through the Engagement Matrix documentation, I don’t see where its explicitly noted that we cannot use custom or inline events, however, that is my experience with the chart.Is this expected functionality?  Can I only use events as they are ingested into Amplitude on the Engagement Matrix?
