initial_utm does not match users first event utm (in almost ANY user)

Hi!We are seeing differences between the data saved as initital_utm_ on the user properties and the actual data from the users first event utm_I'm attaching a screenshot from a users utm properties and a screenshot of the same user first event properties.We are seeing this in almost all users having utm data on their first event. So this is affecting a lot of our data analysis…Shouldn’t initial_utm_ never change?NOTE: I’ve opened a request ticket about this that was closed without a response because is a non-critical issue and as a Starter User I can only open tickets about critical issues: how is having the wrong user properties, affecting all of our ROI analysis, no a critical issue in a data platform? 🤯

How do I track first page view?

We currently track page views on our website (ie every time a user lands on a page we fire an amplitude event with relevant page data like url, title, etc).  We want to also be able to track the first page visited, meaning we want to know what page a completely new user lands on first. Is there any suggested way of doing that via Amplitude? Thanks!

how to create a chart with top 10 events with a filter

Ive been trying to create a chart with “most active” pages for a specific cms. for exmple top 10 viewed pages where the page name contains “company page”. but i cant figure out a way to do this.  “top global events” cant be filtered by name.“any event” gives me a total and i cant see which pages are doing better.   I’m new to amplitude, so there might be an obvious solution that im missing

View all instances of an event and it's properties without using the API?

Hey all, we’re trying to figure out the best way to access all instances of an event and its properties. We can currently see the values in a dropdown list and select them, but we that’s the only way we seem to have access to the data. Is there another view that I’m missing or a way to export this data as a CSV so we can manage it elsewhere?

Custom event contain does not work?

I’m trying to create a custom event but I’m facing two problem.1 - I’m trying to get all access that the source is Google, but I can’t select all because exceeds the limit 2 - So I thought if I can’t select all use the freeform, that I’m not sure if it works the way I’m thinking, on the list there are a lot of links that have a different source that I typed on the search like bing and Facebook, how can I be sure that my custom event is only using the correct source

We released the built last month and most of the users are from Pakistan and no one in the can access the app since it’s just released for Pakistan. Yet, while I extracted the data from Amplitude it was pointing towards the US and especially towards Palo Alto and San Francisco, Oakland is their any specific reason

Can't see event property in Funnel Analysis?

I seem to be running into an issue where even though I'm sending events with Event Properties that I can see when I look in the User Look-Up events, I can't seem to find them in the UI to select them / filter them. For example, I have a pageview event that sends the pathname Event-Property registration/groups which I see on the User Look-Up page (see first screenshot), but I can't seem to filter and find it when I'm doing a funnel sequence. I’m on the Starter plan and haven’t hit my event limit yet. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

How to group events by day of week?

I want to show the average or unique value of an event in the last 90 days, but grouped by day of the week. So I can see which days have more-less activity on that specific event.Is this possible?

Get a list of user_ids from a Cohort ID via API.

Let’s say I have a Cohord ID = ‘rrsn6f2’, Instead of exporting the CSV file manually and then remove all the unused columns and keep only 1 column, the ‘user_id’ column which is a custom user property to include our own system’s user_id, I mean to do that job automatically by using Amp API. Is it feasible? Thank you.

Can I only include events done within a repeated time frame?

I am wanting to look at events done within certain time windows every week. (We’re a church and I’m looking for events done within a certain time frame every week.) Is it possible to look for event that only happen on Sundays from 10-11 and 11:30-12:30?

PROPMAX

I’m looking for a formula that I would think would be called PROPMAX. Where PROPSUM gives you the sum of that property across all users and PROPAVG gives you the average value of the property per event, I want the maximum value of the property recorded on the event.There must surely be a simple way to do this…?

Unable to see if my events are being saved to Amplitude

I posted this in the Data (Beta) sub but realized this sub is probably more appropriate for this question. I’m currently implementing Amplitude into my project using the Ampli CLI and have gotten to a point where everything should be set up and ready to emit metrics. However, when I called one of the methods to emit a metric I don’t see any data on the Amplitude Data site for my project. For example, if I have a metric called “Page Viewed” and in my code I run the method ampli.pageViewed(params), after running that method I check on the Amplitude Data website and see that nothing has changed. In addition, when I try to log the event I get the following CORS message if that relates to this problem:Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.amplitude.com/. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null). Any help would be appreciated!

User profile API is not returning cohort ids list

I am calling https://profile-api.amplitude.com/v1/userprofile endpoint with required params but I see that cohort_ids is always an empty array for every user id. Why is this the case? Even though the users are part of many cohorts.

How can I reset UTM properties for each session?

I recently implemented Web Tracking on my Javascript instance of Amplitude for our website. Web Tracking allows us to grab things like UTM parameters or Referring Domain information to help us understand how users started a session on our platform. I should also mention my platform is a B2B SaaS platform. The problem I am having is that those details (e.g. “utm_campaign”, “utm_source”) are set as user properties and persist until something else replaces them. However, the purpose of collecting referring details such at UTMs are to help me understand what drove a user to our platform… implicitly defined as “for that session”.  The problem with the way this is currently implemented is that if I have a user come to my platform as a result of opening an email that I sent to drive them to my site today, and they come back to my site directly tomorrow, or next week… that first email campaign continues to “get the credit”. Remember that this is a SaaS platform, so what I really want to know i

We got 64,000 spam signups in one day. Can I delete them?

We got attacked by a spammer who created 64,000 new accounts in our SaaS product in one day. Now all of our metrics and charts are messed up as a result.Is there a way to delete these users and their associated events in Amplitude?I know there is the User Privacy API where you can request people to be removed, but from what I understand you can only do that in batches of 100 and then you need to wait the 3 day grace period and then the job is scheduled 10-13 days later. This doesn’t seem like a viable option.

Does the Amplitude ampli cli track() and specific event based methods return anything?

I don’t see in the ampli docs if methods such as ampli.track() return a status for success or not and was wondering if it does. Thanks!
