# Amplitude

![Amplitude](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClawLink-HQ/clawlink/main/public/images/brand-logos/amplitude.png)

Access Amplitude via the Analytics API with managed API key authentication. Analyze product events, cohorts, releases, dashboards, and experiment data from chat.

This skill uses [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev/?utm_source=clawhub&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=amplitude-analytics) for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Amplitude API access yourself.

### Setup in 3 Steps

| Step 1: Install | Step 2: Pair Account | Step 3: Connect Amplitude |

## Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

```bash
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
```

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send `/new` as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Amplitude again."

## Quick Start

```bash
# List integrations
clawlink_list_integrations

# List Amplitude tools
clawlink_list_tools --integration amplitude

# Search for a specific tool
clawlink_search_tools --query "event" --integration amplitude
```

## Authentication

All Amplitude tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Amplitude API credentials.

**No API key is required in chat.** ClawLink stores the API key securely and injects it into every Amplitude API request on the user's behalf.

### Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with `clawlink_begin_pairing` if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=amplitude and connect Amplitude.
4. Call `clawlink_list_integrations` to verify the connection is active.

## Connection Management

### List Connections

```bash
clawlink_list_integrations
```

**Response:** Returns all connected integrations. Look for `amplitude` in the list.

### Verify Connection

```bash
clawlink_list_tools --integration amplitude
```

**Response:** Returns the live tool catalog for Amplitude.

### Reconnect

If Amplitude tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=amplitude
2. After they confirm, call `clawlink_list_integrations` to verify
3. Then call `clawlink_list_tools --integration amplitude`

## Discovery Workflow

1. Call `clawlink_list_integrations` to confirm Amplitude is connected.
2. Call `clawlink_list_tools --integration amplitude` to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call `clawlink_search_tools` with a short query and integration `amplitude`.
5. If no Amplitude tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=amplitude.

## Execution Workflow

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → search → describe → call                      │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List events → Get segmentation → Show results    │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                               │
                               ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                    │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call           │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves   │
│           → Execute update                                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call `clawlink_describe_tool` first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, `whenToUse`, `askBefore`, `safeDefaults`, `examples`, and `followups` to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call `clawlink_preview_tool` first.
5. Execute with `clawlink_call_tool`. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

## Security & Permissions

- Access is scoped to the connected Amplitude project's data.
- **All write operations require explicit user confirmation.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
- Destructive actions (deleting users, annotations) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
- GDPR/CCPA deletion requests are irreversible once submitted.
- Cohort uploads and user mapping affect downstream analytics segmentation.

## Notes

- Some analytics queries may return large datasets; use pagination and filtering to limit results.
- Event data may have a delay before appearing in queries (typically minutes to hours).
- Cohort downloads are asynchronous; poll the status before downloading.
- For EU data residency, ensure the project is configured accordingly.

## Error Handling

| Status / Error | Meaning |
|----------------|---------|
| Tool not found | The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with `clawlink_list_tools --integration amplitude`. |
| Missing connection | Amplitude is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=amplitude. |
| `Invalid API key` | The Amplitude API key is invalid or expired. Reconnect the integration. |
| `Project not found` | The project ID does not exist or is inaccessible. |
| `Cohort not ready` | Cohort export is still processing. Poll with `check_cohort_status`. |
| Write rejected | User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes. |

### Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:
   ```bash
   openclaw plugins list
   ```
2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send `/new` as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:
   ```bash
   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   ```
4. After restart, tell the user to send `/new` again and retry.

### Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly `amplitude`.
2. Use `clawlink_describe_tool` to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call `clawlink_preview_tool` first.
