Device type displaying as "Apple iPhone"

On a User Composition chart I have that composes by Device Type, there is a large segment for the device type “Apple iPhone” – however, there are a bunch of individual models of the iPhone below – iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone X, iPhone 7 Plus, etc...I really want to know the composition of that larger iPhone category. Is this something I have configured incorrectly?

Is there no way to group events by cohort?

Hello!I am trying to analyze the distribution of my cohorts across my events, but am unable to “group by” cohorts.Is there a way around this? or must I manually add segments based on cohorts? thank you very much and have a great day!

Event Properties not appearing in Dashboard

When sending an event through the Javascript SDK in an application I am using I pass event properties into the sendEvent method. I can see the desired object on the request to Amplitude when it sends the event and the object it attached to the event_properties field on the request payload. However, the event properties are not appearing in the UI and I don’t know why. I saw them for a few events then they stopped all together. I haven’t changed the code regarding sending the event at all so I don’t know what’s happening. Any ideas? Thanks!

Before/After Pages?

Is it possible to see what page a user came from (even if from an outside source) or what page they went to after a particular event?Thinking beyond the limitations of funnels.What drove a user to this particular page or where did they go after leaving?

Analysis with a dynamic date

Hey,I’m creating a Funnel Analysis to find out user/account count who performed specific events in an order in 7 days from their first date, but I also need to eliminate the users who haven’t had any events after 19 days of their sign up.Is there a way to enter the opposite of this filter? (like after 19 days of first use) Thank you!Gozde

Ingesting Events via HTTP API V2

The HTTP API v2 is a great tool to ingest data into Amplitude via server-side. You can use Shell, HTTP, JavaScript, NodeJS, Ruby, Python, Java, and Go to hit the HTTP API v2 endpoint(https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi).  I will demonstrate how to ingest data from the HTTP API v2 endpoint using a curl command using Terminal on a Mac laptop. The HTTP API v2 endpoint expects the event data to be formatted in JSON. Here is an example call:  curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"api_key": "INSERT_API_KEY","events":[{"device_id":"5f9fbb3b-8b65-5a35-8ec1-699f5cfb2998", "event_type":"test_event", "event_properties": {"button_clicked_name": "Subscribe"},"user_properties": {"is_subscribed": true},"ip":"127.0.0.1"}]}' https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi  The breakdown of the call above: You will need the API Key of your Amplitude project (only members with manager and admin permissions can see this information) The Device ID or User ID of the unique user. (In the call we are u

Filtering Out Employees / Job Applicants

Hello, I am looking for a way to filter out specific users in a backwards compatible manner. The scenario is the following: We have some of our employees and job applicants creating some accounts in our production environment and we would like to filter out all of their activity from our various charts and analyses. We have come up with a simple tagging system, i.e. tagging the user as “employee” or “applicant” in a custom user property. However, the user properties are time-based, so any events that have happened before we set the user property are still included in the charts. I am therefore looking for a way to look at specific events while using the CURRENT user properties of the users, as opposed to the user properties the user had at the time the event happened. If this is possible, any insight on how you have approached a similar situation would be greatly appreciated!  Cheers, Julien

Is ATT prompt a must to use amplitude event tracking?

Hi, I would like to know whether we have to use ATT prompt to use amplitude analysis. I have been thinking, as the data that we are collecting in amplitude cannot specify personal identity,It’s possible not to show the ATT prompt.(we don’t have the Attribution tool yet, which I know for sure that we need ATT prompt) I was wondering whether it is possible to just see the user activities without ATT promptif we collect the data that are not connected to user personaly, and that are not connected to attribution data (like SNS channel, etc) by the way, we are getting the info via HTTP API not SDK thanks! with best regards, Flor

Only track paths that lead to an "End Session" event?

We’re building a mobile app. I’m trying to track % of users who quit the app at each step of our onboarding process.I’m not 100% sure about what qualifies as a drop-off in the Funnel Analysis. My understanding is that whenever a user takes a path that’s different than the target funnel, it’s counted as a drop-off. However, here I’m only interested in paths that lead to and “End Session” event. For example, let’s say I want to know % of users who leave the app after seeing our Login Screen. When looking at the next step in the Funnel Analysis, it will say 20% drop off from last step. So I was first assuming that 20% of users were quitting the app after seeing Login Screen. However, after looking into the different User Paths of the users dropping-off, I can see that only 70% of these paths are “Login Screen” → “End Session” paths. So basically the % of users leaving the app is just a fraction of the drop-off % showed in the funnel analysis. First, am I getting this right? Second, what w

How to Create and Save Custom Filters in Event Property

I have an Event called ‘Page View’ with properties such as ‘Page Slug’, ‘Page Route’. Is it possible to save a custom filter on Page Slug?Eg:I would like to create a custom filter WHERE ‘Page Slug’ = {‘apple’, ‘orange’, ‘banana’, ‘mango’, ‘watermelon’}We use this filter in many places, and there are over 50 values in the filter. The alternative is to send it as a property of its own, but we’d ideally like to see it for historical data as well.

No events returned after the first launch

Hi! I’ve encountered strange user behavior, which I suppose might be the problem connected with analytics. We have an event called first_launch that fires off when a user launches the app for the first time. This event should be followed by another event telling that the subscription screen is shown. They go one after another and normally should work even if the user opened and immediately closed the app. However, I see that 2.5% of users only get the event first_launch along with two standard Start Session events before and after it. Strangely, the first Start Session event has a Session ID equal to -1. We couldn’t reproduce that situation, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask Amplitude gurus what it can possibly be. :)I’d appreciate any ideas on that issue. P/S: Also, what may Session ID equal to -1 mean?

[Dashboard REST API] Filtering events by users who performed another event

Hi everyone!I’m trying to replicate a chart query via the Dashboard REST API, though I’m having trouble adding a “who performed” filter to the query.The chart query I’m trying to match is as follows:The part I’m having trouble with is the “and who performed “Signed up >= 1 time any time in each day”. This is a simplified version of where I’ve got to, but looking through the documentation I haven’t seen any way to specify a filter for the event count performed by each specific user on each day.The documentation seems to suggest that any chart produced by the dashboard is possible to query via the API as well, so I assume it’s possible somehow?eventData = { "event_type": "_active", "filters":[ { "subprop_type": "user", "subprop_key": "gp:initial_utm_source", "subprop_op": "is", "subprop_value":["cpc"] },{ "subprop_type": "user", "subprop_key": "???", "subprop_op": "greater or equal", "subprop_value":[1] } ]};const url = `https://ampl

What should be the approach to track push notifications?

Hello! We have a mobile application with push notifications provided by Firebase. I’m trying to find some information about using Amplitude with push notifications.What I’d like to do:Track push sends events via server-side API Track push notification clicks (is it even possible?) Track opens from push notifications (it is implemented yet)I was trying to implement 1st before but I faced a problem that all users become “active” users because of server-side events. So, I saw them in DAU but actually they were offline, I just send an event that the push was sent. My questions:Is it possible to exclude server-side events from counting of the DAU? Is this approach good?Thanks a lot,Stan

Is there a way to compare/match an Amplitude timestamp to a timestamp event property?

We have a productivity/meeting software that helps organize meetings. We want to know if users are performing a specific event during their scheduled meeting time. We have implemented meeting_id and scheduled_meeting_time properties. The goal is to match or compare the event timestamp in Amplitude with the scheduled_meeting_time property. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the logistics in Amplitude. Has anyone successfully done anything similar? Or do you have any ideas/suggestions for things I can try? Thank you so much for your help!

How to get separate stats for web and mobile app version names?

We have a mobile app (where Amplitude captures the version number automatically), and a web app (where we call setVersionName explicitly).Now when I try to see how many users are using the latest web version (User Composition by Version), I get mobile app version names mixed in, even after setting Platform to Web.What am I doing wrong?
