Does updating a user property array via the HTTP API add to the array or reset it?

Hey team,When using the HTTP API to publish an event with user properties included, will the existing user property array for the user get added to or updated entirely?For example, if user Alice had a user property called `cohorts`, and I published a `join_cohort` event with `{ cohorts: [new_cohort_name] }` in user properties, will that outright set her `cohorts` value to just the new cohort or will it instead append the new cohort name to the existing list of cohorts? Thanks!

Duplicated data

HelloWe currently have 3 partners, AD agency, Airbridge(MMP), and Amplitude. Meanwhile, we asked AD agency to target optimized users and show our AD then analyzed the attribution (finding campaign which attributes to main In-app event such as purchase). On the other hand, we were trying to track users behavior more specifically through Amplitude, based on React-Native SDK.  So there were two different data source, Airbridge and Amplitude and the problem is, the data is duplicated. For example, If purchasing activity is occured, Amplitude perceives that there are two purchasing event. Because of this duplication problem, we’ve seen bubbled data.  I think it happens because of ID-matching problem. In Amplitude event(from React-Native data source), there is no User ID. There’s only Amplitude ID so the data cannot be matched with Airbridge data. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you !

Count the number of times a custom event (send a message OR record a voice note OR activate a subscription) has been performed once.

I have created a custom event (send a message OR record a voice note OR activate a subscription), and I want to know how many users have performed any of these events ONCE

Filter on user property incongruent with properties in export of user segment

I’m trying to figure out why events are firing for users with no user_type set.Here we see 299 events where the user property was set as (none).But when I export that user segment from this amplitude chart, every user has a user_type set. eg   Any thoughts or insights into why Amplitude is showing 299 users with no user_type?

Re-running experiments

Hi, so let’s say we’ve run an experiment that has failed, or has produced results we otherwise want to discard. Is there a way to “restart” the experiment so that we can use the same key, but provide different keys and get clean experiment results? By “clean” I mean old data will not interfere with new findings. I feel like with the current structure, there’s no way to do this, which means we need to cycle through a bunch of different keys every time we want a fresh start, even though most of the experiment is the same.  Any insight here would be appreciated.

Data insufficient prompt in T Test Analysis Experiment

Hi Amplitude Team!I would like to ask regarding the Amplitude Experiment. The case is that we have a sample size requirement of 57,000, two sided, and 95% confidence level. However when we wanted to analyse the result of the experiment and changed the Statistical setting to the required, the data showed that it “needs more data to be conclusive” and the statistical in the data is 0% when the supposedly performance is -1.8% (with MDE of 1%). Is there any reason why this prompt is showing? Thank you!

How to get device-related data on the client and send it to the server

Hey guys, I'm working on integrating Amplitude into my application, which is a platform built using ReactJS for the frontend and Node.js for the backend. I am currently using the "@amplitude/analytics-browser" library (~1.10.3) on the frontend and "@amplitude/analytics-node" library (^1.1.7) on the backend.My current implementation is configured to make an API request from the frontend to the backend, sending information that will be useful to generate an event on the backend (sessionId, userId, deviceId, user properties and event properties). Then, the backend uses this information to log an event to Amplitude.What I'm trying to achieve now is to include more user properties, specifically device related data such as device type, device family, platform, and operating system. I am aware that the Amplitude JavaScript SDK can automatically fetch this data from the user agent string on the client side, but I can't seem to find a way to access this data and send it to the backend.I am wond

Get app version from amplitude's exported data

Is there way to get release or version number at the time of event generation from amplitude exported data? We are adding release information from the ui and I need to connect release information (version) to user behavior using amplitude exported data. Is there endpoint to get release start date with description? I see “version name” field in exported data, but it’s null.

Why can't I visualise for the whole cohort in pathfinder?

I have made a cohort of all anonymous users in Amplitude and am attempting to see the most common path they take in the product via pathfinder. In total, the cohort contains about 11,000 users. When I attempt to set up a pathfinder starting with ‘start session’, I can only see 687 users as part of step 1. What am I missing here that is preventing me from visualising the complete cohort?

Device Family = 'K'

I’m looking at some funnels grouped by device family and I’m seeing a value of ‘K’ for a good percent of them (~20ish). Not sure what’s going on or how to debug.

Sessions spanning several days

I have stumbled with cases like this, in which a user has sessions spanning for several days. Plus, the timestamp for  some of the events of a given session don’t match with te day on the left pane.This is making difficult to measure session length properly.Has this ever happened to anyone?

First app open IOS 14 tracking based on utm parameters

Hi there! I’m trying to track IOS (&Android) first app open (as a proxy for app download) from a specific marketing campaign with set utm parameters. I would like to filter by source=xx.For Android all good, but with IOS 14 limit ad tracking release, I can only track a fraction of first app open. Is there a walkaround in Amplitude? Thank you in advance!

Specify starting page on funnel view

Hi there, I am using the funnel chart to track conversion across the pages of my site. However, I would like to be able to filter to just those visitors that started on a particular page. (I.e. visitors can be directed either to the homepage or to a detail page, and I want to see the conversion for *just* those who went straight to the detail page, vs. those who first went to the homepage and then to the detail page). Is there a way to specify this? Thank you so much!

What is the best way to track the user agent?

Hi, Amplitude does not track the browser (user agent) by default. What is the best way of doing that? I imagine just setting the plain user agent string into a user property might end up insufficient. Esp. when later trying to split it up into the actual browser (e.g. chrome, edge etc.) and exact versions etc. Any recommendations?

Migrate from US to EU data center

I am trying to migrate our instance from US to EU data center. The plan I have is this:Set up duplicate tracking to run both instances in parallell (through GTM).Once we have made sure data is being collected as it should in the EU instance, remove instrumentation for US instance. Optional: migrate data from US to EU instance.I have set up step 1, but the EU instance is only tracking a fraction of the evens being tracked in the US instance. Is there a known issue running multiple Amplitude instances on the same page (using GTM)?

How to create a cohort or segment with users who first time came from direct?

Hi, I’d like to create a cohort or segment with users whose first source is neither any UTM nor referral. Simply for users who came from what it’s called as a direct/none source (mostly people who typed the website name in the URL bar).How to do this?I’ve discovered I can create a cohort with users who:- performed “Viewed” event- where the UTM source is none- where the UTM medium is none- where the referrer is none- with historical count = 1st timeI’ve also read the difference between historical count and event historical count here: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040957432-Historical-Count-Track-user-behavior-for-different-instances-of-each-user-actionand it looks like only the 1st feature is available when creating a cohort which is not ideal and doesn’t solve my case.Any ideas how to do it?

A way to group values of a property together into a "bucket" of values?

Hi everyone! New to Amplitude here, so would really appreciate advice – and I’m looking forward to giving back to the community as I get more experienced :) Is there a way to group values for a user or event property into a “bucket” that would be a singular value, either for that same property or for a new, different one? E.g. Let’s say Device type as a user property has a lot of values, like iPhone 12, iPhone 13, Samsung Galaxy Pro, Android whatever (I don’t know the Android models haha). Can I bucket all these smartphone values into a new value called “Mobile”? Whether that is for the Device type user property, or a different separate one I could create? (Also, if this can be done, can it be done for event properties too?) If this can be done, could you please share the steps to doing it? :) Thanks so much!
