Amplitude setup

Ship product analytics in under 5 minutes with Meridian's first-class Amplitude integration.

1. Get your API key

Log into Amplitude, navigate to Settings → Projects, select your project, and copy the API key from the General tab.

2. Set the environment variable

Add the key to your Meridian environment. In production, use your hosting platform's secrets manager.

AMPLITUDE_API_KEY=abc123-your-key-here

3. Initialize the SDK

Meridian auto-injects the Amplitude browser SDK when the env var is present. No manual init required. Events flow automatically from every page view, license check, and upgrade flow.

4. Verify events

Open the Amplitude dashboard and check the live event stream. You should see Page Viewed, License Activated, and funnel events within 30 seconds of a page load.

Need custom events? See the Events API reference.
