When is the event ID being triggered?

Hi team! I checked that the event ID is triggered sequentially when users execute 1 event to another event. The defintion that you posted here is that Event ID. A counter distinguishing events. Event IDs are associated with the device ID. https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/204620508-Helpful-definitions#:~:text=Event%20ID,associated%20with%20the%20device%20IDBut somehow, I checked that even in 1 exact device ID, it could have the same event ID which equals to 1 (event ID = 1). What other things that can lead to this condition? Is it because of different session id? different device type? What variables that affect changes of event ID?

Duplicated events in BigQuery

Hi,I have set up recurring syncs of your Amplitude event data to BigQuery through the Amplitude UI. It all works really well except that i found a lot of duplicated events (identical event_id with identical amplitude_id). Here is an example of a user with an event with id 623, but there are two rows (!):amplitude_id event_id event_time device_brand device_manufacturer device_model is_attribution_event processed_time user_creation_time 83043144830 623 2023-04-20 02:54:16.468000 UTC samsung samsung SM-G935F FALSE   2019-02-12 22:50:15.990000 UTC 83043144830 623 2023-04-20 02:54:16.468000 UTC         2023-05-02 21:26:50.277000 UTC   The two rows are identical, except for: device_brand, device_manufacturer, device_model, is_attribution_event, processed_time and user_creation_time, are identical.It is of course trivial to remove such duplicate rows but I want to understand why we have and still are getting this duplication (and why these fi

Query user properties in Amazon Redshift Export

When you export the Amplitude data into Amazon Redshift the Group Properties come out as a json object something like this as an example {"Account Name": {      "MadeUpCompany": {                    "Plan": “Premium”,                    "monthlySpend": "5.00",                   }               }} For both user and event properties you can just call the json property in the SQL as it isn’t nested - user_properties.plan or event_properties.OSversion  However in the Group Properties function (if you have it enabled) it has the Account Name first so you can’t access the properties like this group_properties.plan or group.monthlySpend Any reference to those needs to contain the company name - such as  group_properties.MadeUpCompany.Plan = “Premium” This isn’t workable in SQL as every customer has a different customer name. Is there another to extract at this level in Amazon Redshift - has anyone found a simple solution?

User properties not set on Identify

Hi, I have a new amplitude installation on my website and I’m not able to get user properties to show up in amplitude. I am migrating from Heap. Sessions and events are being tracked in amplitude, just without any user properties (ie. “email”).In my code I have:<script type="text/javascript"> const properties = { plan: '3', payment_method: 'stripe', account_type_id: '1', profile_complete: '1', handle: 'test', dashboard_url: 'https://test.com/dashboard/', company_id: '1', company_name: 'test', joindate: '1245300441', contact_name: 'test test', first_name: 'Test', last_name: 'Test', user_id: '1', email: 'test@test.com', billing_frequency: 'month', }; if (window.amplitude){ const identifyEvent = new window.amplitude.Identify(); identifyEvent.set(properties); window.amplitude.identify(identifyEvent); }</script> What I see in the network tab i

How to set country when ip address is disabled

Hello,we are required to disable ip address tracking. However, we do have our own GeoIP running, and I would like to sent the country.I’ve tried like this with the typescript sdk, but it doesn’t work (I tried `country` and `Country`): // ...identify = identify.set("account type", accountType);const userCountry = ...;if (userCountry) { identify = identify.set("country", userCountry);}this.client.identify(identify);// ... It is set as a user property, and not as the Amplitude property:Is this possible at all?RegardsChristian

DAU grouped by customer

Hi guys, I need to calculate number of daily active customers which in my case is different from DAU as one customer has many users. I have a DAU chart (below), but now I need a similar chart which only shows the unique customers and not all of their users. Every user has a property “entityId” which is what I am after. Grouping by this property doesn’t bring much as it just splits the one DAU line into multiple DAU lines. How do I go about this?

How to keep user properties unchanged while sending an event from API?

Hi Amplitude Community,Be use SDK and HTTP API to log events and user properties. The user properties set by the API change the default properties set by Amplitude SDK. However I don’t want the default properties to be changed. I just want to add a new user property. How can I configure the system to not change unsent properties. Could you suggest me a way?Best

Exposure tracking through segment

Hi there!For Amplitude experiments, it is recommended to emit an exposure event.We are using segment.io and are wondering how we can track those events properly.Whenever we call `track` it ends up being an event with name `$exposure`.Segment doesn’t seem to wanna pass `event_type` to the destination.The alternative is to use the `identify` call, but I wonder if there are side effects compared to using the $exposure call.

Facebook/Google Ads Integration - Will it dynamically update?

Hi all! With the google and facebook ads integration that Amplitude offers, do I have to run this manually or will the clicks/impressions etc be sent repeatedly/every day? I’m reading the documentation and it looks like its just a historic import?

Privacy requirement in Apple Store or Google Play due to Amplitude usage

Hello,We are submitting our new app (onrun.com) to Apple Store (and later to Google Play). We have used Amplitude in our React Native app. Apple requires answers to a series of privacy questions that I am not sure how to answer, and now Apple has rejected the app. Just to be clear, we are only using Amplitude. We are NOT using any other third-party application for tracking or advertisement purposes. Apple asks a series of questions for each Data Type such as Name, Email Address, Fitness, Precise Location, Contacts, User ID, Product Interaction, and Crash Data. The questions, however, seem to be similar for each data type and consist of 3 questions: (1) how the data is used, (2) is it linked to the user’s identity, and (3) is it used for tracking. For example, for the Identifiers data type, here is the flow of questions. Please also see the details of the questions in the attached screenshots. [question 1] Indicate how user IDs collected from this app are being used by you or your third

Issue: Hightouch sync into Amplitued

Issue with piping data from Snowflake to Amplitude pipeline via HightouchBackgroundWe pipe events from Snowflake into Amplitude via a Hightouch sync.Sometimes the syncs work perfectly. Meaning Hightouch queries Snowflake and returns the exactly correct number of new events. Amplitude successfully receives the events.Sometimes the syncs work imperfectly but are close. Meaning Hightouch queries Snowflake and returns the exactly correct number of new events. Amplitude almost receives all the events but is short a few in almost every daily sync.Sometimes the syncs completely fail. Meaning Hightouch queries Snowflake and returns the exactly correct number of new events but Amplitude fails to receive any events.IssueIn order for our stakeholders to use this data reliably, we need the syncs to work correctly every time. Has anyone had this issue and can you please help us debug this issue? Because Hightouch’s numbers always match the counts in Snowflake, we believe this is an issue on Amplitu

What is the point of role based access to API keys when the Ampli CLI serves them up to ayone?

According this page only Manager or Admin roles have access to API keys.  However the Ampli CLI pulls keys down without regard to user roles.  This then prevents Managers and Admin from withholding production keys until data governance requirements are met. This is a major access hole.  Change my mind.

Is there a way to filter user segmentations by newest user property?

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a solution for filtering user segmentations by the newest (current) user property in Amplitude. I've run into some use cases where this feature would be really helpful, but I'm not sure if it exists.Amplitude's analyses are event-based, which means that filtering in charts is based on the properties at the time of the event. However, there are times when filtering or grouping by current user properties would be more useful. ExamplesHere are a few use cases where we've had a need for such filtering:A) User origin data comes from a third-party integration - sometimes our engineering team has to enrich user properties after the actual time of the event. For example, an event resembling the sign-up of a user will not contain all properties needed to determine their origin. Thus, filtering in this particular event will return "(none)" for such users.B) In-depth breakdowns of users' origin can become very detailed very quickly, and various combin

Clarification over unset functionality

Hello! We would like to pass a custom user property that will apply to a given user’s events for a short period of time, then eventually unset that property so that the user no longer has the property. We know that user properties do not apply retroactively but just want to confirm that unsetting a property also does not affect events retroactively as well.For example, say we have a trial_type that describes a trial category that a user is in. Once they complete that trial, we’d like to remove trial_type from any subsequent events that the user performs but ensure that it was passed in previous events. Will the unset operation work in this case?

Java Implementation Timeline Approximation

Hi All, I work with a non-profit who has recently joined the scholarship program, and we’re looking to implement Amplitude into our data collection.  Disregarding the time spent to develop the taxonomy, how long on average does the implementation process tend to take using the Java SDK.  I recognize that this may not be enough information to give a definitive answer, but general estimations will still be valuable.  Alternatively, I’d be happy to fill in any information you would need to make this kind of assessment. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Best,Travis

MRR per user

Hi, I want to analyse how much MRR we have per user per month. For this I have a property on group level (customer) that states the MRR.I also have the number of users by looking at “Any Active Event” Uniques.But I cannot divide the “sum of all MRR” by the “number of users” because I would need to propsum the MRR by grouping by the customer, but only on 1 event per customer per month. If I do this on any event that occurs more often than once MRR is summed up for each of these events instead of once per customer.

How to model event and revenue calls for subscription SaSS business?

We’ve got a SaSS business where there are monthly subscriptions. At any time, a customer can upgrade or downgrade and we handle the changes as you’d expect even if it happens mid month.  There is fundamental questions on how to model this in amplitude, and I’m shocked there is no guidance that I can find in community or help docs. It’s highly likely I’ve missed something, so if I have, happy to get pointed to definitive guides for this! I see in the Node.js SDK the Revenue tracking calls:https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/typescript-node/#revenue-trackingThis is the example:import { Revenue, revenue } from '@amplitude/analytics-node';const event = new Revenue() .setProductId('com.company.productId') .setPrice(3.99) .setQuantity(3);revenue(event, { user_id: 'user@amplitude.com',}); That example makes sense.. kind of.  What i’m understanding here is that you have discrete revenue event to account to help power revenue charts like the Revenue LTV.Here are 3 scenarios

Average over all groups

We group our users into “customers” in the Accounts Addon in Amplitude, given we are a B2B service.Now I would like to understand the average number of new users (there is an event “user created” for that) per customer.Meaning, NOT the rolling average of each customer’s new users. But the average across the customers. So the average of CustomerA:5, CustomerB: 10 → 7.5 new users.
