Hi all,Our first tracked events in Amplitude are “User Signed Up” and “User Signed In”. These events are the starting point for the user’s journey.The tracking of these two events needs to be done using HTTP API V2. Any subsequent events (such as “Feed Scrolled”, “Created Post”, etc...) will be done using the JS SDK.A few questions:From what I understand, if we use HTTP API V2 then we have to manually update all the user’s properties such as location, IP, referrer, etc? Should/can we grab those user properties from the JS SDK and then add them to our POST call coming from the backend? We tried doing the above by sending an event with some of the user properties but got a random event ID that wasn’t in sequence with any preceding or subsequent events. We can set event_id to 1 but not sure if that’s recommended. What is the safest way to do this? Basically we want to send an event that the user signed up with his user_id. Ideally it would all be in the JS SDK but we can only safely know 0 0 D 55 minutes ago Y yliuaaron New Member Instrumentation and Data Management os version incorrect when importing from segment I am using Segment to log screen data in my iOS app and import them to Amplitude. I found out that the `os` field on the event in amplitude is something like `WebKit 605` instead of the ios version. I inspect the event data on Segment and it has the correct os version data like `"os": { "name": "iOS", "version": "15.0.2" },`. Is there anything I set up incorrectly? Please help.

Have you noticed @MikkoKarvonen? There is a good chance you have seen him answering the questions in this forum.

I want to highlight how Amplitude generates the [Amplitude] Device Type and Device Family user property values which are common questions we get in our Support queue. SDKsWhen using one of our SDKs we will track the user’s device properties automatically by taking the raw device information captured by SDKs and mapping them to device types and families. HTTP APIWhen using the HTTP API to get the device information (device_brand, device_manufacturer, and device_model), you will need to implement something similar as in the Amplitude Android SDK or Amplitude iOS SDK. Amplitude will then attempt to use device_brand, device_manufacturer, and device_model to decide and map to the corresponding device type and device family property value. Also, note that "Device family" and "Device type" are determined based on the model and manufacturer that’s present. For example, the device manufacturer might be Samsung and the device model might be SM-G900T -- using these two detai 6 499 1 N 1 day ago F Felipe5A New Member Instrumentation and Data Management Facebook Audiencie Integration - Low match using Device ID + Country + City Hey there, Amplitude community. I'm trying to use Amplitude cohorts to create audiences on Facebook Ads Manager, but I'm getting a bad match. The use here is for non logged users that doesn't have an account yet - so there's not much valuable data from them to get a good match (like Phone number + Email, which we use for logged users and gives us a match of +75%) I'm curious to know if anyone could get a good match using the Device ID Datapoint as a good source of match with audiences? While discussing with the engineer team it seems that facebook actually use a different ID (FBID) to make this match, so it really seems like not a use case. Anyone had success with build audiences with Amplitude's Device ID on Facebook? If so, what workaround were needed? Appreciate any help in this topic!

The code calls the export API asynchronously once a day to retrieve 24 hours worth of events, leaving a gap of about 4 hours to try to get around the fact that the API will fail with a 404 if the final hour/s are not present. This is not listed as one of the errors that one might receive from the export API : It is as if the export API is rejecting the request, or that DNS is failing to resolve. However I can subsequently trigger the task manually and it runs without error.I did not think that this would be due to either missing data based on the time range requested or the data size, because these are supposed to return specific errors, and I have seen the 404 error on previous occasions (which is another thing: why can’t the APi just return the data that it actually has for the date range requested, even if it has nothing for only the final hour of the reque 0 5 M 5 days ago R rag New Member Building and Sharing Your Analysis Export data to GCS Hello, We have Starter Plan of Amplitude. I am trying to export the data to GCS. I followed your article to setup the export data to GCS(Google Cloud Storage).In the Data Destination, I could see only Zendesk Connect. How can I get the GCS option in the Data Destinations. Is it specific to a particular account type or is it available for every type of account? Let me know if you need any other information.
