Google Tag Configuration settings another way?

Hi there, Previously I ask about setting Configuration settings in Amplitude Analytics Template and @dangrainger suggested me to set up in either set User Properties (identifiy) tag or Event Properties track event tag. However, maybe i’m not fully understand the concept of user properties and event properties in Amplitude compare to GA. We are looking for to set up the global configuration settings in initialise tag, so i wonder if is it the way to set up ?May i set up a custom Javascript in GTM for the configuration settings (from Google Tag) then assign to trackingOptions in initialise tag (Amplitude Analytics Template)? Do i do the same for User properties (from Google Tag) in initialise tag(Amplitude Analytics Template)? thanks in advance

I want the number of unique events where event property is also unique. How do i find that?

My use case is this. I need to measure unique logins to my system. User A has user id 100 and logins in via mobile in the morning and logins in via laptop in the evening. So there are 2 unique events now. However for both these unique events the event property (user id) is 100 only. So now I want to know events for unique event property. For example: - If user A with user id 100 logins in mobile and laptop and User B with user id 102 logins in with mobile and laptop - there are 4 unique login events.However from my POV there are only 2 unique users only. Please explain to me, how to build a chart for this. Thank you

How to best identify user/group complete journey for all integration app that has UI in two totally separate places

Hi,We have a user journey that starts in two completely separate applications with two different identification systems, and later connect so that we have continuous access to the user’s IDs from both apps. As a team, we are really focused on Activation and tracking the events early in a customer journey. For this app, the typical journey starts like this:A user (usually an admin) installs the app in App A and makes some configuration/setup choices. We would usually use App A related values here for both user_id as well as to identify a group for the app license. A user (either the same admin as before or a different one) installs the app in App B and does some more setup. At this point, we have access to their App B identifiers for the user and group. At this point - we do not have any practical ways to link the two actions / journey steps, since there is no shared interface or user/license credentials. It is also unlikely that we will have a reliable/consistent device_id during thes

Writing an absolute value in a chart

Hi, I’m trying to create bar chart in the segmentation tool. I’m using the formulas. I would like one of the bars in my chart to have a fixed value (“1.72”). I tried to write it in different ways in the formula form, but I always get an error from Amplitude. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks

We are using the native AppsFlyer - Amplitude integration and we are not getting any data through. We have been repeatedly told by AppsFlyer that the data is being sent, but it’s getting a 400 error response. From reading the data on this error, this appears to be related to a JSON formatting issue, but I don’t fully understand how that could be the case with a native integration? It’s also worth highlighting that we did initially get some data through, but this has since stopped. We’ve not changed the API key on Amplitude, so I’m at a loss as to what is happening here.

Why can't I see data send to Amplitue EU?

Hi there, i’m a newbie to Amplitude trying to configure all tags in GTM and send data to Amplitude EU. I can see all data come through if i use Amplitude Analytics Template for initailising SDK and tracking events. However, if i use Amplitude Analytics Template as the base tag (init tag) and mix other tracking events (with Broswer SDK set up in custom HTML tag), i can’t see any data in Amplitude EU . I can see all of the tags fire correctly and the events timeline in Amplitude Chrome extension(the link takes me to Amplitude US). I did set up EU data residency in the init tag. Am i missing something? Do i need to set up instanceName for instance?thanks

Multiple device ids, but device has not changed

I’m having an issue where for same user (same User ID), I am getting up to 5 device IDs. Yet, this user definitely only has one device. In what situations does this happen? Is it common to fire backend events that do not contain a device ID (and id this the reason for this issue?)

Setting event-level properties in bulk

Is it the way to set event-level properties in bulk? const event_properties = { event_type: 'page view', loggedin:{{loggedin}}, ehash:{{ehash}}, post_type:{{post_type}}, internal:{{internal}}};const event = { event_type: "view_homepage", event_properties, //groups: { 'role': 'analytics' }, //group_properties: { 'groupPropertyKey': 'groupPropertyValue' }};amplitude.track(event);Will i be able to use the similar way to set up Configuration settings and User Properties in Google Tag? Thanks

GTM Identify User ID

Hi all, I seem to have trouble setting the User ID with GTM template. I have the tag set-up like this. All works well, but in Amplitude it creates a custom property on user level, instead of merging them. I also tried userId as User Property, but that did not work either. What is the right key here? With the “init” tag it works fine, but that is not good for me when users are not already logged in (the initiate event is earlier than the sign-up).

How to count users satisfying a PROPSUM constraint

I am looking to count the number of users whose property is greater than a thresholdIs this example, I have a property called “media count” for the event “export” which counts the number of media exported each time by each user. I would like to know how many users exported more than 250 media in a month.I was able to select the segment of users “sum of media count per users” >= 250 with PROPSUM(a) but how can I count these unique users? For now the workaround is to group by userid but it it not clean at all Thanks !

How to calculate MAU per GROUP?

Hi, my organization has the Accounts Add-on feature, which we use to track “license” level behavior in our B2B product. So, we track individual user behavior, but also associate users with a higher-level license, which we define as a “group type”. For simplicity, we can assume most users are associated with 1 and only 1 license group. We want to track not only DAU/MAU, but also DAU and MAU per license. So, something like the UNIQUES(A) formula that calculates MAU in an event segmentation chart, modified to something like UNIQUES(users) / COUNT DISTINCT(license groups). Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks!

Users who did not pageview within last 90 days

Hello, I’m trying to understand how I can build a cohort of users who had a pageview before the last 90 days and have not since.However, the way the logic is built now seems very confusing.Is this the correct way to look at it? The way the logic stacks makes it very confusing. The way I read this is, user did page view since jan 1, then if at any point since that date they did not do pageview within 90 days, they are included.That does not get to the essence of the question, which are users who have not done pageview in the last 90 days.

Amplitude's Chrome plugin extension enables browser-side event monitoring

Do you know about Amplitude’s Event Explorer Chrome Extension? It’s free, quick to install, and easy to use. This Plugin sits on your Chrome browser and displays all existing browser-side Amplitude event tracking that you trigger as you load a website or product and click around to navigate that web domain. This helpful guide enables you to become an expert on your product’s browser event tracking. Check out this quick demo on how to use Amplitude’s Chrome plugin extension on a webpage or product experience from your browser. It’s crucial to keep in mind Amplitude’s Chrome plugin extension only displays browser-side tracking. Your product might have server-side events setup as well, either via Amplitude’s server-side SDKs or via an upstream source connector, such as Segment, Sendgrid, Intercom, etc. To avoid having any blind spots as you monitor your product’s existing instrumentation, I encourage you to navigate to your user lookup event streams within your Amplitude login to valid

X Axis parameterization

Hello. I have a problem with X Axis customization in Segmentation Chart. For Retention chart it’s easy to set X Axis values to: Week 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 etc… For Segmentation Chart i have the X Axis customed by User segmentation (I’ve filtered users by the date of their account creation per weeks like 03-09 July / 10 - 17 July etc… and that is what i have on my X Axis). Is there any chance to custom it per days / weeks / months instead of dates for example?

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

Pathway ending with user's final event

I was wondering if there is a way to create a pathway which ends with the last time the user did any event? I’d like to track back to see if there are any trends for users who stop using our product. Is there a way to produce a pathway which ends with the last action a user ever does (ideally without cohorts)?

Is there a way to know programmatically the event names that are plotted with only a chart URL?

I need to programmatically access the event names that are in a chart that has been made with the UI. I’ve seen that the REST API for existing chart was not giving the event types in the response, is there any workaround to do this?

Cloudflare Workers SDK

I need to send events from a Cloudflare Workers environment, which doesn’t support the Node SDK due to the lack of HTTP and HTTPS modules (it only has Fetch). Digging in the source, it looks like I may be able to wrap the Node SDK and provide an alternate transport. Just wanted to see if anyone else has done this already.
