Return average session length by user through the API?

Hey, I am trying to find the average session length by user. I know this is possible on a chart but using the endpoint: GET https://amplitude.com/api/3/chart/CHART_ID_HERE/queryOnly returns 1000 user ids. Another way would be to use the user activity endpoint but this would be a long process. I essentially want the following endpoint:GET https://amplitude.com/api/2/sessions/peruserBut with the ability to group by cohort, property or those who have performed a particular event.

Can User Properties fire as null on events even if a User Property for that user has been seen before?

Hi All,I have a question around user properties with the goal of getting an accurate understanding of our MAUs.We have a platform which allows our admins to impersonate a client user, this allows them to see an identical version of the platform that the client user would see. The admin can then complete tasks on their behalf which fires events as the client user.I want to be able to tell the difference between events fired by a real client user and an admin impersonating a client user.There is a user property we use called impersonating_user_id which captures an id of the admin who is doing task on their behalf.My question is: If an admin 1234 impersonates the client user 5678 on Monday and fires an event the user property impersonating_user_id would capture user 1234 on that event.If the next day the client user 5678 logs onto the platform as does actions themselves and fires events. In this case would the impersonating_user_id property fire as null as no one is impersonating? or does

Defining a Cohort of people who have not done a particular event

How can I define a Cohort to group people who have not done a particular event. For example we have an event that allows people to download a file, but I want to group the people who have not downloaded the file.Here, the event defined by us on Amplitude is “download_file”, but we want to group users who have not done the latter event.

Events stack in the payload

There is a website with Amplitude JS SDK installed. Hits are being sent to my custom server  and then redirected to the amplitude. To do so I’ve set ApiEndpoint parameter for init method. The thing is, when I fire a few events one by one, each hit contains data about the event it was fired by and all the previous events within current page load (if the page is reloaded it starts from the beginning again)For example, I fire the first event “Click button”, payload contains only data about this event. Then I click one more time, so “Click button” fires again. In this case payload contains info about the first “Click button” and the previous click and so on. If there are 50 events, last payload would contains all of them. What could be a cause of this issue?

Completely Unable to Ingest Events With No User ID (HTTP API V2)

Hello! I’m using Amplitude HTTP API v2 for a WebGL project, where users are anonymous. The Amplitude documentation clearly states “Don't set the user ID if there isn't one.” So, I did that, but whenever I upload an event without a user ID I get this error: 400 Bad Request:{    "events_with_missing_fields": {        "device_id": [            0        ],        "user_id": [            0        ]    },    "code": 400,    "error": "Request missing required field"} So, then I tried to send an event with the user_id set to an empty string and got a different error (also happens if “null” is sent): 400 Bad Request:{    "code": 400,    "events_with_invalid_ids": {        "user_id": [            0        ]    },    "error": "Invalid id provided: omit the user_id or device_id field if they are unknown"} This is quite the conflict. The HTTP API v2 appears to be completely unable to ingest events that don’t contain a user ID. Could someone from the Amplitude team please fix this issue on the back-

Excluding Based on Intent

Looking for insights for an interesting Funnel conversion situation. I’m wanting to exclude users who come to the transaction screens if they managed their giving, except if they actually did a transaction. Here’s a visual of how I’m thinking of it.Transaction metrics​​​​​So if a person does an action on the transaction screen and does a transaction, even if they checked their history, I do want to count their conversion. However, if they only checked their history on the transaction screen, then I don’t want to count them.Here’s the equation I’m thinking of:Transaction Conversions/(Action on Transaction Screen - Manage Actions without Conversion)How do I do that in Amplutide’s Funnel?

How to send a daily reporting to a Slack channel?

I wish to send a daily reporting of key metrics (a “Team Space”, or selected charts) daily, at 8am, on a specific Slack channel. How do I do that? I’ve added the Slack integration and it works, but now I’d like to automate it for a daily reporting and I haven’t found any documentation about that.

Data (Beta) - A new home for Amplitude’s data management features 

Amplitude’s data management features are going through some exciting changes! We’re consolidating Iteratively’s data planning capabilities with Amplitude event and property management features into one central hub, with a brand new user interface.  What does this mean for you? All of the data management that you did in Govern—things like blocking and deleting an event/property, changing the visibility status or activity status for an event/property, or creating custom events—will now be done in the new data management hub Data (Beta.) You’ll also be able to set up a workspace for your project and use the Tracking Plan feature to plan changes to your schema, set taxonomy rules, solicit feedback and reviews from your team. Here, you’ll also be able to view your event metadata and be alerted of schema violations. Example of adding events to your tracking plan: To learn more, check out the following docs:  Amplitude Academy Course - Data(Beta) Iteratively Blog - How to make event trackin

Grouping users for analysis

Hi there,We are a SaaS B2B company, and as one, we have group of users that work for the same client (for instance 5 users all work for company A and using our platform).I want to see this 5 users who work for the same company, as 1 user. For example, I would love to do a Stickiness review, that will say “Company A”, and will tell me on how many days a user from company A has performed a certain event (this mean that even if it was a different user each day, this will show 100%). The “group by” doesn’t seem to work, as it show “the average among the users from company A”. Appreciate any help.Thanks.

Behavior of user_id-device_id reconciliation when N-to-N relationship

Hello, I have an application on which sometimes, the sales team help a user to finish creating their account. They will thus set the password and everything, and then communicate the credentials on the phone to the user. I would like to understand the behavior of Amplitude id reconciliation between device_id and user_id on this specific case: User A (not registered yet) has its own device_id A guy from the sales team, with its own device_id, helps this user to finish creating his account. In parallel, this sales team guy will also help 5 other users. The sales team guy has the same device_id for each user (because he does not change his browser session each time) When sales team guy gave credentials to the user A, user A logins with his account and uses the app.In this scenario, how will Amplitude manage the IDs reconciliation ? Indeed, the guy from the sales team has its own device_id, and create accounts for five different users. Will Amplitude take ALL the actions from this device_i

Is 'Start Version' What It Sounds Like?

Hello! What I’m trying to get at is, essentially, what version a particular user was on when they first downloaded the app. I realized, to my surprise, that I couldn’t find a “download date” or “first session date” anywhere (that I can find, anyway--does that exist and I’m just not seeing it?), so I thought that understanding what their first version ever was could be a good wayBut I don’t know if ‘Start Version’ is doing what it seems to indicate? I know what the help article says, but for me, the data doesn’t pass the gut check (it could be that my gut is totally malfunctioning though!)This is a User Sessions chart with sessions grouped by Start Version, and what it seems to show is that users that started on versions prior to teal and orange aren’t generating as many sessions. Does this seem “right” to you folks?Thanks for any help!

Which user behavior metrics matter?

Hi folks 👋 Mallory here. I run the Amplitude blog (https://amplitude.com/blog/) and was editing an article when a question came to mind:Which user behavior metrics really matter? There’s retention, churn, and engagement of course, but beyond that—Which user behavior metrics do you care about? Let me know what you think; I’d love to bring the feedback into an upcoming blog post!
