Amplitude integration

Command AI's integration with Amplitude works in two directions:

  1. Command AI —> Amplitude: send Command AI-generated events to Amplitude, so you can build dashboards using Command AI events (and mix them with other events in Amplitude)
  2. Amplitude —> Command AI: use Amplitude cohorts as audiences within Command AI
One-time configuration

Once configured, the integration will "just work" — no maintenance required. You will not need to make any code changes to handle new properties.

Sending Command AI events to Amplitude​

Navigate to Integrations and click Enable on the Amplitude integration card.

Using Amplitude cohorts in Command AI​

This integration allows you to use Amplitude cohorts as [audiences] within the Command AI editor.

  • In Amplitude Data, click Catalog and select the Destinations tab.
  • In the Cohort section, click CommandBar.
  • Click Add another destination.
  • Copy and paste the Org Id and API key into Amplitude.
  • Map the Amplitude User ID field to the Command AI User ID field
  • Save when finished.

You can find more details in the Amplitude doc.

Using code to send Amplitude user properties and events to Command AI​

With a little code, you can (1) send Amplitude user properties to Command AI; and (2) send Amplitude events to Command AI.

Sending Properties to Command AI​

You can send any of the existing user properties that you send to Amplitude to Command AI. Here’s a simplified code snippet:

// Your existing user properties
var userProperties = {
	plan: "pro",
	role: "admin",
	...
};

// Passed to Amplitude
amplitude.getInstance().setUserProperties(userProperties);

// And additionally sent to Command AI when Command AI starts:
window.CommandBar.boot(userID, userProperties)

// Or by adding one-off or session only properties to Command AI is easy too:
window.CommandBar.addMetadata("userIsWorkspaceOwner", true);

Sending Events to Command AI​

You can also send events that are generated by Amplitude directly to Command AI. This allows you to treat any Amplitude-generated event the same was as a natively-generated Command AI event.

// Most companies using Amplitude have a globally available function
// to track events. The simplest way to ingest all events is to add a
// Command AI SDK call to trackEvent to this function.

const reportEvent = (event, eventProperties) => {
  amplitude.getInstance().logEvent(event, eventProperties);
  Command AI.trackEvent(event, eventProperties);
};

FAQs​

What pages will events be sent from?​

Events generated by Command AI will now flow to Amplitude from any page in your product where (a) Command AI is booted and (b) Amplitude is installed.
