# Amplitude (event streaming)

The Amplitude event-streaming connector moves events between Amplitude and Statsig using API keys. It works for any Amplitude project in either data center, and doesn't require a link between your Statsig and Amplitude organizations.

Newer Amplitude integrations cover most of what this connector does, and Statsig recommends them for new setups:

| What you need | Use instead |
| --- | --- |
| Statsig exposures and events in Amplitude | [Amplitude Native](https://docs.statsig.com/integrations/data-connectors/amplitude/native) |
| Statsig metrics built from Amplitude events | [Amplitude events as a metric source](https://docs.statsig.com/integrations/data-connectors/amplitude/metric-source) |
| Amplitude cohorts as Statsig segments | [Amplitude cohort sync](https://docs.statsig.com/integrations/data-connectors/amplitude/cohort-sync) |

Use event streaming when you need raw Amplitude events delivered into Statsig Cloud, or when the Amplitude project isn't part of your linked Amplitude organization.

Two differences matter if you move an existing setup to Amplitude Native: Amplitude doesn't count natively forwarded events toward your event volume, and the native path doesn't promote Statsig `stableID` values into the Amplitude `user_id` field.

> **Warning:** Don't run both outgoing integrations
>
> Amplitude Native and this connector can both forward exposures. Enabling both for the same Amplitude project duplicates those events.

## Incoming: receiving events from Amplitude

> **Note:**
>
> This integration supports ingestion for Statsig Cloud only. For Warehouse Native, create a metrics source that references this data in your warehouse.

The following steps outline how to forward events from Amplitude into Statsig.

1. Get a Statsig **Server Secret Key** from the API keys page in [Project Settings](https://console.statsig.com/api_keys).
2. In Amplitude, go to the _Data Destinations_ page. Click **Add Destination** in the top right.

   ![Amplitude Data Destinations page showing Add Destination button](https://docs.statsig.com/images/integrations/data-connectors/amplitude/step_1.png)
3. In the _Destinations Catalog_, search for and select the Statsig Event Streaming destination.

4. Give this destination a name and click **Create Sync**.

5. Enter the **Server Secret Key** you copied in step 1 into the provided field. Select the events you want to send to Statsig. Set Status to **Enabled**, then click **Save**.

6. On the Integrations page for your Statsig project, turn on the Amplitude Incoming integration.

## Outgoing: sending Statsig events to Amplitude

1. In Amplitude, click **Settings** in the bottom-left corner.

   ![Amplitude settings menu accessed from bottom-left](https://docs.statsig.com/images/integrations/data-connectors/amplitude/settings.png)
2. Click the **Projects** tab and choose the project you want to send data to.

3. Copy the API key and paste it into the Statsig integration panel.

4. Click **Enable** on the integration panel. Any data logged to Statsig appears in your Amplitude project.

## First exposures

[First exposures](https://docs.statsig.com/experiments/interpreting-results/export#first-exposures-file-description) are an enterprise-tier feature that simplifies your project insights.

> **Info:**
>
> This feature requires an Enterprise contract. Reach out to the support team, your sales contact, or through the [Slack community](https://statsig.com/slack) to enable it.

### How first exposures work

The Amplitude integration can forward first exposures instead of every exposure, reducing the total number of events forwarded. Statsig calculates first exposures daily and forwards them to integrations at approximately 7pm UTC.

### How to enable

First, confirm that Statsig has enabled the "first exposure" feature for your account by reaching out to the support team, your sales contact, or through the [Slack community](https://statsig.com/slack). After that, go to the event filtering tab of the integration and turn on the **First Exposure** setting.

### Example events in Amplitude

### Accessing raw data

To access raw first exposure data in CSV format, make a request to the [console/v1/reports](https://docs.statsig.com/console-api/introduction#get-/reports) endpoint to receive a download link.

## Filtering events

You can customize which events Statsig sends and receives through Amplitude using [Event Filtering](https://docs.statsig.com/integrations/event_filtering).
