How to find number of DAU who performed special event at least few times before within fixed number of days?

Let’s say I have an event X.I would like to see a line chart with the number of users who:Performed this event at the each dateANDPerformed the same event at least K times within previous N days from the date? For example. Today is October 21st. Today I have 100 users who performed the event X today and also performed this event between Oct 14 and Oct 20. At the same chart I can see 200 users who performed the event X yesterday (Oct 20) and also performed this event between Oct 13 and Oct 19. Etc.

Custom Page View event + UTMs

Hi there!I'm implementing Amplitude through GTM. I've disabled the autocapture of pageviews from the init tag as I would like to have control over exactly which parameters I’m sending to Amplitude. However, in the init tag, I see a checkbox for 'Track marketing attribution'.1/ If I create a pageview as a custom event and leave 'Track marketing attribution' checked, is there anything that should be included in the custom pageview event regarding UTMs or similar parameters?2/ What is the consequence of unchecking 'Track marketing attribution'? I assume it means it won't track any UTMs or assign the source of traffic based on URL parameters like fbclid, etc. If I want to set this up manually, how should it be done?Thank you!

Set up a group-level cohort with designated number of users performing events

Hi, I want to track how many active companies there are over time and found that setting up conditions for how many users perform the events is challenging in the custom cohort feature. When analyzing an engagement metric of a B2B product, having multiple users/ teammates actively use the product is a critical part of defining metrics. Defining only by the count of events is not sufficient to me.Do you have any suggestions for this analysis scenario? Or do I simply overlook some places to set up?

Funnel analysis - Calculate time to convert between first event and last event instance

I’m trying to do a “time to convert” funnel analysis which looks at the duration between the first instance of an event and the last instance of an event. This is kind of a proxy for session duration, or dwell time, but it’s more flexible for our use case because it can span multiple sessions (as they’re defined by Amplitude). When I try to do this as a funnel showing time to convert, it just gives me the time to convert between the First event and the next instance of that event. How can I calculate the time between the First and Last occurrence of that event, with an unknown number of other events (including that same event) happening between those two bookends?   More examples: First event occurrence found (none prior to this in the timeslice) Here, in between the first and last event, any number of events could happen, including more of the same, for an undetermined amount of time.  last event instance found (none after this in the timeslice)For this case, the correct answer to “ti

View avg # times a user has performed an event each month

Hi, I’m trying to view the average # of times a user has performed an event each month since they joined the platform. It would be great to see this for multiple events each month. Allowing me to select the events I’m interested in seeing would be great.

Custom "Any Event" with specific data source

Hi,Is there a way to use the default amplitude event “Any Event”, but filter out events that are not coming from specific data source?In my case, I am creating a cohort and I want to use any events from my React Native SDK only, and exclude events coming from RevenueCat (data source)I tried creating a custom event, but I don’t see any way to filter by data source, even though if I click on the specific event, it says the “sources” as React Native SDK, or HTTP API.

Setting Group Properties in GTM

Hi everyoneI use GTM as the tool to setup the init and identification tagsI’ve successfully identified the group “Corp ID” but unable to track group properties even if I set through this tag:I asked the AI bot in the help center and it said “Currently, the Amplitude GTM (Google Tag Manager) template does not support the group identify call which is used to set group properties. ”But in the GTM’s doc it clearly includes the “Set” callI noticed that in the Set Group Properties tag, the label for setting is “User” property. Does this mean it actually not support setting up a “Group” property?I hope someone can tell me how do I set up and see the group properties:

Event-Based Analytics (Video and short knowledge checks)

I’d love your feedback on this 12 minute introduction to event-based analytics! Can we do better to make the concepts stick? What worked? What didn’t?Making the transition to event-based analytics can require a shift in thinking -- especially if you are used to working with entity-based data. To get the most of out Amplitude, it is important to understand the interplay of events, event properties, users, and user properties.In this video you will learn how to:Use different colored stickies to understand how Amplitude works Differentiate between events, event properties, and user properties Determine when a user property update will be query-able Read Amplitude queries like sentences See a user’s event stream using User Lookup Describe the difference between entity-based and event-based analyticsPlease feel free to pass along your feedback.

Cannot log in via CLI

I try to log in using the ampli CLI.I type ampli pull, and I am prompted to log in. When accepting to log in, the browser is opened, and I am sent to a page in Amplitude where I can give access.When I approve, I am redirected to https://localhost:13222/ where obviously nothing is running. And the command line prompt is still waiting for me to log in...Is there a missing ENV variable in Amplitude or something, or am I doing anything wrong here?

Get is user has opted out

So we wanna have Amplitude up and running and have installed the SDK2 https://amplitude.com/docs/sdks/analytics/browser/browser-sdk-2. In order to have it we need a Cookie consent banner where the user can optOut if needed. Now after we call    amplitude.setOptOut(true);, we wanna get the information that the user has opted out. Isn’t there any support from the SDK that we can get this information or do we need to manually ourselves handle this?From my point of view it would be nice with “amplitude.getConsent()” that would return true/false depending if the user has actively called amplitude.setOptOut(true)

How do I allow certain users access to a specific project?

How do I grant access to specific projects for certain users?  Or put another way:  How do I limit the projects certain users have access to? I have a subset of users that I want to grant access to only a specific project.  I do not want them to be able to access/see other projects in our organization. I’ve not been able to find a way to do this and documentation appears sparse on this use case, though it seems like it should be pretty straight forward.  Any insights welcome!  Thanks!

Issue with Device_ID Changing Frequently Across Sessions

Hi everyone,I’m facing an issue with the Device_ID of our users. Normally, the same device should retain its ID for each event it triggers, but with our users, the Device_ID changes almost every time they start a new session in our mobile app. This causes a tracking problem, especially when the user hasn’t logged in yet.For additional context, based on previous discussions on the topic: we are indeed using the SDK, and we haven’t configured any step that would trigger a regeneration of the Device_ID.Does anyone have any insights on how to prevent the Device_ID from regenerating across sessions?Thanks in advance!

Empty subprop value on a filter using the Event Segmentation endpoint

Hi, I’m currently trying to integrate Amplitude’s API with an app on Bubble.io to get interactive dashboards which do not exist on Amplitude (only the events data is on Amplitude). However, I’m blocked because of some filters I should add that could have empty values in Bubble and should be ignored in the call. Is there any way to assign the subprop value within the call for the filter to take any subprop value? This is what my API call currently looks like:https://amplitude.com/api/2/events/segmentation?e={"event_type":"[event_type]","filters": %5B{ "subprop_type":"event", "subprop_key":"microsite","subprop_op":"is","subprop_value":%5B"[microsite]"%5D}%5D}&start=[start_YYYYMMDD]&end=[end_YYYYMMDD] Please note that the dynamic values are included between brackets (due to Bubble’s syntax), while the brackets from the object syntax are URL-encoded as %5B and %5D for [ and ] respectively. The value which might be empty is the one for the “microsite” subprop.

Getting Started Improving Data Quality with CollaborationTip

 Data Governance is a team sport. But often you can care more about it, than other teams - so how do you get them interested? Stefania Olafsdottir, CEO at Avo, says “It's like a flywheel. It's better breeds better. If you have, product engineering and data or caring about data. Then teams are invested in shipping quality data, then teams make better decisions and keep improving the user experience and then product and engineering and data all care about data.And this is like a cycle that sort of reinforces itself, but also it's contagious. So getting started. I always recommend starting with a small team and do a purpose meeting.We sat down and mapped out what's the goal of the release. What are we trying to impact in the user experience? What's the metric that measures, measures the success of that. And then  what are the literal event structures that we need in order to actually visualize this metric somewhere. And I recommend doing this before the product development starts.”This is
