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

What is the right format for date in event properties

We want to do operations for event properties of date type. For example filtering by events with date-type event property that are more than a year ago (we use such properties for date-based filters for example). So far were were sending data in format of “YYYY-MM-DD” and Amplitude sees it as a string and doesn’t allow comparison operations. What format should I use, will changing to “YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss” help? Thanks!

Semantic versioning with event properties

I have an event property called `deployable_version`. It provides to the version of the web app or native app that’s generating the pageview for my site. I am sending it as a string, which doesn’t support semver ordering, i.e. where 1.9 < 1.11.I looked through the datatypes available in the Converter Config but I did not see anything that would allow this kind of sorting. I also saw Data Planning but the types available there also do not seem to be much use here. Is something like this possible for event properties?

Does Amplitude not always log events that fire at about the same time?

I recently just pushed a new feature up to our app that runs two brief events back to back that, once completed, have an Amplitude event that fires off stating that the event was successful. Because these events are pretty quick, Amplitude will usually log the second event anywhere from 100-200 MS after the first event.However, I’ve noticed that ten percent of the time, the second Amplitude event didn’t fire (even though I can see other data supporting that the event ran successfully, including with temporary Sentry logging we added to confirm that the event ran and Amplitude wasn’t capturing the event while Sentry was).We ended up adding a timeout of 1 second before firing the second Amplitude event. That has significantly decreased the number of times the second Amplitude event did not fire to less than 1 percent of the time.But that does have us wondering if Amplitude is somehow not capturing the second of two events with different names from the same file that happen pretty quickly
