Dashboard parameters keep jumping back to 7 day selection

My dashboard keeps resetting to having a 7 day filter parameter applied.I hit the … and selected reset to default parameters but no dice. Help! What am I doing wrong? Some of the charts are date range limited to allow for before/after comparisons, so I need the dates to not be defaulting to the last 7 days every time the dashboard opens.

React Native crashes with loss of network connectivity

Running a React Native app with "@amplitude/analytics-react-native": "0.8.0", an error occurs after losing network connectivity:Amplitude Logger [Error]: TypeError: Network request failedWrapping the Amplitude methods with try/catch does not affect the triggering of this error, leaving me to assume it’s an issue with the SDK.  Is this a known issue or do you have any solutions that you can provide?

How can I update a user property of user A upon an action performed by user B? (Without triggering additional events))

Let’s say we have a platform where we have an option to follow other users. If user B follows user A, I want an event to be triggered for user A and want to update the follower count as a user property on user B. Assuming that I don’t have to trigger additional events (updating events from backend is an obvious option, but takes up too many calls)Is that possible?

How to get data to Zapier or other automation tools alike?

I’m trying to integrate Amplitude with Zapier / make or other tools alike. I’d like to once a day capture results from my charts, and process them with automation tools like Zapier. Has anyone done anything like it? Do you know if I could find any tutorials about it?

Generated ampli.swift file tries to use amplitude methods that don't exist.

I’m generating the Ampli.swift file using ampli pull for a iOS project and the file gives me a few messages about incorrect Amplitude usage (see screenshot). I can remove all these calls and everything is fine, but this is a manual step that I can’t do every time ampli pull is run.

Log Out and Anonymous Users

Hello everyone,I wanted to know that is there any way that if a user logs out and then perform any events, than those events should be not linked to the previous logged in user ID without changing the device ID.I know right now the only solution is to regenerate device ID while logging out, but I wanted to mantain that device ID to know how many unique peoples are using from that device ID.

Different results filtering by events or users

Hi,It is probably a conceptual problem, but I don´t understand why this 2 scenarios give 2 different results:Event A where propertie A = 1 and propertie B = 1 | no user restriction Event A with no restrictions | users where propertie A = 1 and propertie B = 1Thanks!

Best practice when setting up a Marketing site/s new project, with an existing Production project

Hey guys! We are currently using Amplitude for our Production, Staging and UAT environments. Our growth team are keen to get our marketing sites set up on Amplitude so we can track usage and journeys end to end. I wasn’t sure whether we would get that desired outcome if we were to set up the marketing site/s in a new project? Is there a way with them segmented by project to still do some analysis across project to understand our users journey from the marketing site, through our app? Or is there a way to add it to the same project without damaging the integrity of it? I hope that makes sense! Any guidance / thoughts would be incredibly helpful. Mark

How to manage environments

I have read various articles and posts here but have not yet found an answer/concrete example of a full workflow using environments, and I also have many additional questions regarding best practices. Say I want to have two environments, development and production. I can assign a project to each of these. How to I promote event definitions from the development project to the production project? do I have to manually recreate all changes? Can I have 3 environments? Can I move event and property definitions between organisations?

How should array parameter values be formatted for the Cohorts API?

Hi!I’ve been trying out the Behavioural Cohorts API but I’m having trouble using the propKeys parameter to limit the user properties returned when downloading a cohort.I could be missing something obvious, but there are multiple standards out there for supplying arrays as querystring parameters and I’ve tried out a few:?props=1&propKeys=property_1&propKeys=property_2 ?props=1&propKeys[]=property_1&propKeys[]=property_2 ?props=1&propKeys=[property_1,property_2]Can anyone clarify the expected format? So far I’ve always had all user properties present in the downloaded data.An example on the documentation page or in the Postman collection would be great!

how can I implement Amplitude to Hybrid (Webview) App

Hello, I'm a data analyst.I am trying to implement Amplitude to a Hybrid (Webview) App. Our project made web page that use JS and it’s shown on a webview inside our app (android/IOS). I want to implement Amplitude to mobile Web and Hybrid App. But I couldn’t find how to implement amplitude to hybrid environments in The official development guide.I just have understood that browser SDK should be applied to the web page to collect events and user properties, and send them to the App through javascript interface. However, since there are few resource for hybrid app, it would be good to have some materials for hybrid app. Could I get any useful resources for development?

What is the difference between funnel and event segmentation charts?FAQ

Funnel and event segmentation charts in Amplitude are two different analysis charts that help you visualize and understand customer behavior in your app.Funnel charts track the completion rate of a specific sequence of events. A funnel chart shows the number of users who complete each step in a defined process and the drop-off between each step. This chart type helps you identify bottlenecks in your user flow and understand where users drop off.On the other hand, event segmentation charts allow you to see how different customer segments behave within your app. You can segment your users based on criteria such as customer properties, event properties, or device type. This chart type helps you understand which customer segments are most active, their actions in your app, and how they engage with it over time.In summary, funnel charts help you track the success of specific user flows, while event segmentation charts help you understand user behavior across different segments. Explore our

Amplitude is not returning the list of User IDs while filtering (segmentation)

I don't understand why would Amplitude not return the User IDs of all users whenever I want to filter them as depicted on this image. Do I have to write down every single User ID correctly in order to filter them???!!!

Tracking Conversion cohort

Hello,BACKGROUNDI am using Amplitude to help us track our inventory supply chain funnel. We have widgets that go through a specific funnel where the first step is “entry” and the last step is “completed” and they come into our inventory supply in groups each month. for example, lets say 10 widgets come in January and 20 come in Feb. I built out a conversion funnel to hold constant the Widget ID, broken down by “completed” and count by unique. This way i can track the inventory versus the users submitting the status changes of the inventory. QUESTIONDoes Amplitude provide me a way to track the funnel of each group by Month? If so, how? for example lets say 10 widget come in January, some get completed in Feb and other get completed in March.  I want to be sure that for the widgets converted in March, does not include the widgets that started in march. Any advice would be appreciated.

What are the exact event definition criteria for Pathfinder charts?

What are the exact event definition criteria for Pathfinder charts?(Subtitle: Pathfinder Chart vs Funnel Chart) Hello everyone, I have a question about Pathfinder charts. I tried drawing the same event using the Pathfinder chart and the funnel chart, but it occurred with completely different results on the two charts. Even if I search the guide, the exact event criteria of the Pathfinder chart are not defined. Does anyone know about the event definition criteria of the Pathfinder chart? Even if I try again and again, I get completely different results depending on the usage chart when measuring the same event. I would like to know why. Does anyone know about this case. Any help would be great for me  Thank you 😀

Initial UTM parameters not being set (server-side source)

Hi,We’re sending our data to Amplitude using RudderStack (a service similar to Segment, which sends data server-side to Amplitude using the API).Rudderstack automatically sends utm_XXXX parameters with each event to Amplitude, but the problem we’re encountering, is that users’ initial_utm_XXXX properties are not being set.For example, in the screenshot below, you can see utm_XXXX properties in Amplitude, but there’s no initial_utm_XXX property. If we turn off our server-side source, and instead use the Amplitude Javascript SDK (client-side source), you can see that the initial_utm_XXX properties are set correctly (screenshot below): Do you know how we can get Amplitude to set initial_utm_XXXX, even if we’re using sending data server-side?Thank you!

User Properties or performed events in funnel charts - Does it apply to all events?

I am attempting to filter down a funnel chart using User Properties and Performed Events.For the values that I set for the segments on the right side, how does it impact the events I select in the funnel chart on the left side.Do these User Properties and Performed Events filters apply to:First event in the funnel All events in the funnel All states of the user, including current state Final state of the user only, state during each event not importantFor instance if my funnel is looking at people who start and complete a song but I am filtering by people who have not purchased music, does that filter apply to users who haven’t purchased before the point of the Start/Complete song events OR does it also apply to all users who purchase a song after completing the events in the funnel?Thanks!

How can i find my device id?

Hi, guys. I’d like to find myself in Amplitude User-Look up (or User cohort report). So I downloaded Airbridge’s <My Device Id> application to see my device id which is the same with IDFV (right?) But I still cannot find myself in Amplitude User-Look up with putting my IDFV in device id. Unfortunately we don’t track user’s email or mobile number so it’s quite hard for me to track my data. Any tips for me?🙏🏼

[Amplitude] Is there a way to overwrite the Platform field while using the JS SDK?

Hello, I’m trying to specify the platform field when triggering a logEvent, but thanks to the post below I found out that for the JS SDK the “platform” field always stays as “Web”, so, is there a way to manually change this?I tried using something like:amplitude.options.platform = “Android”Before logging the event, but that didn’t work.
