Stickiness Curve Weekly Breakdown:

Hey, I was wondering if its possible to view the stickiness curve in a monthly breakdown, but showing weeks instead of days: For example say we are looking at the month of February, Feb 1st - Feb 7th: Week 1 Feb 8th - Feb 14th: Week 2Feb 15th - Feb 21st : Week 3Feb 22nd - Feb 28th Week 4 I see amplitude does it in a weekly breakdown but in a 7-day period. I was wondering if they also did it in a monthly breakdown, but in a 4 week period also, or if its possible to do it that way on amplitude. Thanks!

Group by event properties

Hi all!I’m new to Amplitude. Just tried to push some data and I was successful. I’m especially interested in the event_properties and how I can create some expressive charts around them.However, I don’t see any options to “group by property_x”? For example, let’s say I store a event property“company” for a user. How can I make a chart to group the events by company, so I know which company did create how many events on a daily / weekly level?Here is a sketch :)Can you advise?Thank you!Lukas

Why is Amplitude "missing" some events compared to GA4, with same GTM implementation?

Hello,I can’t figure out an issue I’m having: Amplitude is not accounting for all the events I’m tracking in GA4. So, my funnels are completely off.My configuration is the following:I have an ecommerce site on wordpress, and I have Google Tag Manager set up on it The site “shoots” events to the data layer, following the GA4 logic / syntax (so, triggered simply on all events that match the regex: “view_item|view_item_list|select_item|add_to_cart|remove_from_cart|view_cart|begin_checkout|add_payment_info|add_shipping_info|purchase” GA4 is configured to init on all “Page View” in GTM, and trigger a GA4 event on all events that are shot by the site to the data layer, so that they end up posted in GA4And all of this is working fine.To set up Amplitude I did the following:Used the GTM Template Did the “init” the same as for GA4: on every “Page View” Did the posting of the events the same as for GA4: same trigger (so, on all events “view_item|view_item_list|select_item|add_to_cart|remove_from

How to set trackingSessionEvents

We are planning to introduce Amplitude to our app service and have some questions regarding the configuration. We are having trouble with the 'trackingSessionEvents' setting.According to the documentation[link], the 'trackingSessionEvents' property of the configuration object is set to false. However, the default initializer for the configuration object in the SDK has the 'trackingSessionEvents' property set to true.Firstly, we would like to know why there is a discrepancy between the two documents.Secondly, we do not want to set up our own session for our app, but instead apply the default Amplitude session (5 minutes). What value should we set to achieve this?Thank you in advance for your response

Using GA4 datalyer

Hi all,I would like to set up Amplitude and migrate from GA4 to Amplitude. One of our prerequisites would be that Amplitude supports the GA4 datalayer for e-commerce events. As far as I have seen the datalayer is not supported, is this correct? https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/ecommerce?hl=en&client_type=gtm#view_item_details Our shop automatically pushes a datalayer object once an action has been triggered by the user. For example, a view_item event when a product detail page is viewed.dataLayer.push({ ecommerce: null }); // Clear the previous ecommerce object.dataLayer.push({ event: "view_item", ecommerce: { currency: "USD", value: 7.77, items: [ { item_id: "SKU_12345", item_name: "Stan and Friends Tee", affiliation: "Google Merchandise Store", coupon: "SUMMER_FUN", discount: 2.22, index: 0, item_brand: "Google", item_category: "Apparel", item_category2: "Adult", item_category3: "Shir

Unique vs. Total events

What is a unique event vs. total events?I know Amplitude says Unique = will ONLY count the earliest and longest conversion for each unique usertotal = will count every conversion I wonder whether I should measure unique or total events.Challenge: If a customer bought the same product several times only the first conversion will be used if I look at UNIQUE results?

Can you share Amplitude dashboards with an external viewer but not give them access to Amplitude?

Need to share Amplitude content with stakeholders outside your Company?One way is to create a Public Link on charts, dashboards, and notebooks and send them to any person, even if they are not registered under your Amplitude organization.You can also embed dashboards and charts into a document within another web application such as Wordpress and Confluence. Your Amplitude content will then be visible to unauthenticated users, in much the same way as public links.To generate this embed code, follow these steps:After saving your chart, dashboard, notebook, or cohort, click Share. In the Share modal, click the Embed tab and flip the toggle switch to On, see below. Click Copy Embed Code. You can now paste the embed code from your clipboard. To revoke external permissions to view the content, simply flip the toggle switch to Off. The embed code will no longer work in any of the documents where it appears.

User Composition measured by most recent value is wrong

I have a user property called free_trial_group which has 3 possible values (7_days, 30_days and none) and I used it for compositioning: Also I have photos_count user property which I used for segments: The problem is that values in the resulting pie chart and downloaded users of one of the segments don’t match even though I use most recent value.For exampleI’m downloading those users who have 0 photos_count and are in 7_days free_trial_group:It’s the photos_count column: As you see, almost none of the really has 0 photos_count.Why? Am I doing smth wrong?

What source to use for the new Google Tag Manager Template "Amplitude Analytics Browser SDK"

I send data with GTM and the new Template "Amplitude Analytics Browser SDK", and it works. I see the events as a unknown source.I tried to create it as a source by using the “Google Tag Manager” option but it is stalled at listening for the events coming.I the tried the “Browser SDK” source, but the events send are not automatic detected. I also tried to create a HTTP API source, but with same result.The events i send will not associate them self with the source. How do I ensure that the event form this specific GTM container using the Amplitude Analytics Browser SDK template are recognized as a source, and what source type should I use ? I know i can add a property like “data_source=GTM-W639JT” to all events, but was under the assumption that Sources was to be used for this purpose.

Mismatch in SUM displayed and the summing of events divided by day.

I’m counting uniques performing event Application Installed.In the data table, I see the sum of unique displayed in the first row does not match with the sum of its components. It is 122 # (55+46+14+8)=123.What are potential reasons behind? Any directions I should follow to explore the causes of this mismatch?Thanks everyone!

How to measure CCU with amplitude

Hi all, I’m looking for a solution native to amplitude to measure the concurrent connected users on my platform.Can’t seem to find one, so here to get your feedback and help.I would love to be able to measure: Peak CCU Average CCUI’m almost sure there is a way since amplitude sdk is working and that it’s already listening to a variety of events!

Why are custom events missing standard properties like page_path and page_domain?

My understanding is that if we used the Browser SDK along with the Marketing Analytics SDK, we would get attribution tracking (e.g. UTM params) and the ability to turn on automatic pageview events.However, given discussion in my other question and the benefit of more specific events in amplitude reports, we are implementing custom events for each page view in our site and thus disabling automatic pageview events in the Marketing Analytics SDK. All good so far.Our custom events are making it through to our development project in Amplitdue but but I’m surprised to see that there are properties missing that I expect to be there like page_path, page_domain which you do get on the automatic generic pageviews if we left that feature on.I then looked at custom events for click tracking we are doing on some buttons and see that they are also missing context of domain and path.No web analytics platform I’m aware of fails to add these properties automatically (which I’d consider essential).

Average Distinct Days per Cohort

Hi, guys I’m having some troubles trying to calculate the average amount of distinct days a cohort of users is active at my app and the compare them. Using SQL will be an easy calculation, but I’m having a hard time trying to deliver this easy calculation. Would this be something I can set up using custom formulas or other specific analysis chart?

User Property [Carrier] None vs Unknown

When querying about user property : Carrier. I get values “None” and “Unknown”What does a value of “Unknown” mean vs “None”. Does None mean the device does not have SIM card? Does Unknown mean there is a SIM card but the Carrier is not a well known carrier?

When shoudl you use flat list of event properties vs object arrays?

Amplitude supports object arrays as event properties as described herehttps://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/9623000954907-Cart-analysis-Use-object-arrays-to-drive-behavioral-insights#terms-and-concepts that combined with property splitting seems powerful. However I’m unclear when it’s best to use this vs a flat list of properties. Is it strictly when you need to represent multiple objects and thus would have repeating of properties forcing you to come up with creative naming to avoid collisions?in our case, say you only even have one subscription plan in a purchase. Each plan say has a name, term length and price. Also given customers can change plans, we’d want to know the previous plan they are coming from. is it just better to model event properties like:Event: Plan Purchasedplan_name: silver plan_price: 19.99 plan_months: 1 plan_name_previous: goldor is it better to do:Event: Plan Purchasedplan: { [ name: “silver”, price: 19.99, months: 1 ] } plan_name_previous: goldI ass

Tracking user scroll

Hi, a team member asked me about tracking scroll events using Amplitude. What is the best practice on capturing events when a user scrolls to a certain part of the page? Let’s say we wanted to have insights into whether users even scroll to the end of a page.Do you think we should do that with Amplitude and what would be the best practice? Thank you Best regards

Creating funnels using number of events rather than type of event

Hi, I’m a new user and happy to be here! I’m trying to create a conversion funnel where I track number of events completed rather than the event itself. So 0-3 actions, 4-6 actions, 7-9 actions etc. Any advice on how to do this would be great.Thanks
