Create and edit labeled events with no new code required
When you enable the Autocapture plugin, you can begin to create labeled events by clicking specific elements on your site, using Amplitude Data's Visual Labeling feature. This way, non-technical Amplitude users can create these events without needing to understand the structure of the page.
Labeled events are maintained separately from events you've created in other ways. If there are issues with data for labeled events, simply make adjustments from within the Labeled Events tab, instead of involving your engineering team.
This is not a tag management solution that allows you to manage or insert marketing tags on your site. Instead, Visual Labeling is designed to reduce instrumentation barriers, so you can accelerate your insights without waiting for assistance from an engineer.
This feature is available to users on Starter plans who onboarded on or after April 1st, 2024. See our pricing page for more details.
Labeled events are limited to the specific interactions captured by the Autocapture plugin. As with other types of events, Amplitude Data will automatically associate user and group properties to these events, but no additional event properties will be captured.
Visual Labeling is available for web applications and requires installation of the following:
To use Visual Labeling to create new labeled events, follow these steps:
If you leave a field blank, Amplitude Data will interpret that as [any value]. For example, leaving the URL field blank results in the tag / text / selector combination you specified firing on any page.
You can only use default properties with a labeled event created via Visual Labeling. To define your own properties, track the event in your code instead.
To edit a labeled event, click on it from within the Labeled Events tab.
In the event's fly-out tab, you can:
Once you have enabled the Autocapture plugin, Amplitude will begin tracking click and page change events on your site. These events do count towards your event volume. Labeled events act as a virtual layer on top of these events, to help define a specific type of click and use it in an analysis. Therefore, labeled events don't impact your event volume.
For example, a well-instrumented site may see 10,000 events per day, and this plugin might add as many as 2,000 events per day. This site would therefore see a 20% increase in daily events. On the other hand, 1,000 events per day might be the norm for a similar site with only rudimentary instrumentation. Because this plugin will add the same number of events—2,000 per day—this site will see a 200% increase in daily events.
In both cases, the increase in daily events comes from tracking the click and page change events on your site. Labeled events do not affect the event count either way.
