Amplitude

Send event data to Amplitude

The configuration process for this destination mirrors Segment's setup. We've automatically modified the documentation from third-party sources to show you how to set up this destination with PostHog.

Amplitude is an event tracking and segmentation platform for your web and mobile apps. By analyzing the actions your users perform, you can gain a better understanding to drive retention, engagement, and conversion.

Installation

1. Before you start, go to your Amplitude workspace. Click Settings in the top right and then click Organization Settings to navigate to your Projects in the menu. Select your Project. Copy the Amplitude API Key and Secret Key for the project.
2. From the PostHog web app, click Data pipelines, then click Destinations.
3. Find the Destinations Actions item in the left navigation, and click it.
4. Click the "Amplitude" item to select it and click Configure.
5. Choose which of your sources to connect the destination to. (You can connect more sources to the destination later.)

Once you have a mapping, you can follow the steps in the Destinations Actions documentation on Customizing mappings.
