Share charts, dashboards, and notebooks with stakeholders outside your company

Sometimes, you may need to share your Amplitude analyses with people who aren't in your organization, or who shouldn't have full access to your data. You can create public links to charts, dashboards, and notebooks and send them to any person, even if they're not registered under your Amplitude organization.

Before you begin

• Remember, anyone can view a public link until you revoke it. On the Enterprise plan, anyone with the password can access your links before their expiration.
• After you revoke a link, you can't to re-enable it. Amplitude redirects users who click a revoked link to a 404 page.
• If you share a public link to a notebook or a dashboard that contains a Journeys chart, that chart isn't visible to the recipient of that link. Use the direct link to the journey chart to share it.
• Amplitude caches charts for 10 minutes.
• Experiment results charts don't support access by public link.

Creating a public link

To create a public link to a chart, dashboard, or notebook

1. Click Share, in the top right corner of the menu bar.
2. In the modal that appears, click Public Link, then Create link.
3. Set the link's expiration date, and optionally set a password. Click Create Link.

Amplitude generates a link to the content. Click Copy Public Link to copy the URL to your clipboard.

Generate embed code for your content

Another way you can share your charts, notebooks, and dashboards with external stakeholders is by embedding your analysis into a document created outside of Amplitude Analytics. Paste the Amplitude-generated embed code into a tool that accepts embeds, like WordPress, Confluence, or wikis. Your Amplitude content becomes visible to unauthenticated users, in much the same way as public links.

To generate this embed code, follow these steps:

1. After saving your chart, dashboard, or notebook, click Share.
2. In the Share modal, click the Embed tab and flip the toggle switch to On.
3. Click Copy Embed Code. You can now paste the embed code from your clipboard.
4. To revoke external permissions to view the content, flip the toggle switch to Off. The embed code no longer works in any of the documents where it appears.

Copy, edit, or delete a public link

You can manage public links from two locations:

From the Share modal:

1. Click Share in the top right corner.
2. Navigate to the Public Link tab.
3. Click the three-dot menu (kebab menu) next to your public link.
4. Select Copy URL, Edit, or Delete from the dropdown.

From Organization Settings: Navigate to Settings > Organization Settings > Content Access. You can remove public links from this page by hovering over the link and selecting the Remove button. To edit a link's password or expiration date, open the chart and use the Share modal.

Set public link permissions

Admins on Enterprise plan accounts can control whether members need to set a password and/or expiration date when creating a public link. When setting an expiration, you can control how long public links exist before they expire. 

Even if your account doesn't require passwords or expirations, you can set either when creating a public link. Review Create a public link for details.

Passwords aren't recoverable. If you forget your password, you can edit the link and choose a new one. If you choose to set an expiration date, any recipients receive an error message when opening the link after your selected date. You can always edit your link and choose a new expiration date if you need to extend access.
