kvCORE → Amplitude · Conversion tracking
Connecting kvCORE to Amplitude
kvCORE is a brokerage platform where the leads belong to the brokerage and the closings belong to agents, which makes the question of whose conversion it is genuinely contested. Amplitude is built around behavioural cohorts, which makes the identity resolution and the event taxonomy load-bearing in a way they never are for an ad pixel. The join between them succeeds or fails on one thing: whether the user ID and device ID pair reaches the kvCORE lead before the conversion happens, because Amplitude can only match a conversion it can tie back to a click it recognizes.

Why this join usually fails
The user ID and device ID pair never reaches kvCORE
The single most common cause. Leads route to agents who work them in their own systems, so the trail from source to closing frequently breaks at handoff.
The source lost at agent handoff
A lead is generated by the brokerage, routed to an agent, worked for six months and closed. If the source did not travel with it, the brokerage cannot tell which of its lead investments paid for that closing.
Revenue events that carry no revenue
Amplitude will happily accept a purchase event with no price field. The event count looks correct, the funnel looks correct, and the revenue reporting stays at zero — which people usually discover a quarter later when someone asks what a cohort is worth.
Nothing reconciles afterwards
An upload that succeeds is not an upload that matched. Amplitude shows the event in the user's activity stream with its properties expanded. Read the properties, because an event that arrives without its revenue fields still looks like a success.
Architecture
How kvCORE and Amplitude actually connect
Two systems that know nothing about each other. Everything below exists to give them one shared reference.
Step 1
kvCORE holds the truth
The brokerage pays for the lead and takes a split of the commission. Reporting the full commission overstates the brokerage's actual return by whatever the agent's share is.
Step 2
Amplitude needs a click to match
Amplitude needs a device or user identifier, an event type and its properties. Revenue events need the price and quantity fields specifically, or the revenue reporting stays empty while events flow normally.
Step 3
The identifier is the bridge
The user ID and device ID pair, captured at the visit and carried into the kvCORE lead. Without it there is nothing to join on and no tool fixes that.
Step 4
The event source decides reliability
Send closings at the brokerage's share of commission, attributed to the original lead source.
Step 5
Deduplication at the destination
Amplitude deduplicates on insert_id. Omit it and a retried batch is counted twice, which shows up as a phantom spike that someone will eventually build a hypothesis on.
Diagnose it honestly
Working vs. broken, side by side
Both states look identical from the Amplitude dashboard, which is why this runs for months before anyone notices.
Normal — not a fault
The user ID and device ID pair present on the lead
Visible on the record itself in kvCORE, not merely captured somewhere on the site.
Sent from the kvCORE transaction record
Server-side, so it does not depend on the customer's browser still being there.
Deduplicated correctly
Amplitude deduplicates on insert_id. Omit it and a retried batch is counted twice, which shows up as a phantom spike that someone will eventually build a hypothesis on.
Reconciles with the source
Amplitude's count and kvCORE's records agree within a few percent over a closed window.
Actually broken
The user ID and device ID pair missing on most records
Leads route to agents who work them in their own systems, so the trail from source to closing frequently breaks at handoff.
Sent from the browser
Anyone who closes the tab, blocks the script or converts without a page load is invisible. A lead is generated by the brokerage, routed to an agent, worked for six months and closed. If the source did not travel with it, the brokerage cannot tell which of its lead investments paid for that closing.
Counted twice, or not at all
Amplitude will happily accept a purchase event with no price field. The event count looks correct, the funnel looks correct, and the revenue reporting stays at zero — which people usually discover a quarter later when someone asks what a cohort is worth.
Nobody has reconciled it
The dashboard shows a number and no one has compared it to kvCORE. A wrong number that nobody checks is indistinguishable from a right one.
Diagnostic sequence
Diagnostic order
Each step rules out a class of cause. Run them in order and the last one usually has a single explanation standing.
- 1
Count leads carrying the user ID and device ID pair
The ceiling on everything else. Do this before debugging anything downstream.
- 2
Follow one real conversion end to end
From the ad click through kvCORE and into Amplitude.
- 3
Sample closed transactions and check how many retain a lead source
The retention rate is your attribution ceiling and it is usually poor.
- 4
Check a purchase event for the price and quantity fields specifically
Not whether the event arrived — whether the revenue fields are populated, in the exact names Amplitude expects.
- 5
Read the match rate, not the success message
Amplitude shows the event in the user's activity stream with its properties expanded. Read the properties, because an event that arrives without its revenue fields still looks like a success.
Source-of-truth validation
How it gets proven
Against kvCORE's own records, not against either platform's dashboard.
- The user ID and device ID pair confirmed present on a live lead.
- A real conversion followed from click through kvCORE to Amplitude.
- Revenue reconciled per transaction against your billing system, with identity merge behaviour verified across signup.
- Closings with a retained source reconciled at brokerage commission share against imported conversions.
- Reconciled over a fully closed window, matched per record rather than on totals.
- Re-checked 30 days later.
Straight talk
When you don't need this
Worth reading before paying anyone, including us.
- If Amplitude already reports conversions that reconcile against kvCORE's records within a few percent, this join is working and there is nothing to buy.
- Measure identifier coverage yourself first — pull your last hundred leads and count how many carry the user ID and device ID pair. Ten minutes, free, and it tells you whether any of this is worth doing.
- A single-agent operation has no handoff and no split, and the simpler CRM integration applies.
- If nobody is building cohorts or retention analysis, this is a large amount of instrumentation for reporting a dashboard already gives you.
Who this is for
Honest about who we’re a fit for.
We don’t take every project. Here’s how to tell if we’re right for you.
You’re a great fit if…
- You run kvCORE → Amplitude (or are migrating to it)
- You spend $5K+/month on paid ads (Meta, Google, TikTok, Microsoft, LinkedIn)
- Your reported ROAS doesn’t match what your bank account is saying
- You want to own your tracking stack — no monthly SaaS fees forever
- You have 2–4 days to do this once and never think about it again
Skip us if…
- You spend less than $500/month on paid ads (browser pixel is fine)
- You want a SaaS dashboard with monthly fees forever (Triple Whale, Hyros)
- You need attribution modeling — we fix the data foundation, not multi-touch reports
- You want a 6-month enterprise consulting engagement (we ship in 4 days)
- You expect us to manage your ad accounts (we don’t — that’s a different service)
If you’re still unsure,book the call anyway— we’ll tell you straight whether we can help.
What working looks like
The user ID and device ID pair on every lead
Server-sideCaptured before the conversion and stored where it survives.
Conversions arriving in Amplitude
8+ EMQThe event lands on the user, joins their behavioural history, and becomes available for cohorts, funnels and retention.
Reconciled against the source
DedupedkvCORE's own records are the reference, not either dashboard.
What gets built
Identifier capture into kvCORE
Store the source on the lead and require it to survive the routing to an agent, which is a process problem more than a technical one.
Event source: the kvCORE transaction record
Send closings at the brokerage's share of commission, attributed to the original lead source.
Dispatch to Amplitude
The Amplitude HTTP V2 API, posted server-side with the identity, event type and properties.
Reversals where they exist
Fallen-through transactions reverse.
Pick the package that fits your ad spend
Fixed-fee, no surprises. If your ad spend is meaningful,server-side tracking is what we recommend— it’s the only setup that survives iOS, Safari ITP and ad blockers.

Got questions?
The honestanswers.
No buzzwords, no upsell. If we don’t know, we say so.
01Why aren't my kvCORE conversions showing in Amplitude?
Almost always because the user ID and device ID pair never reached the kvCORE lead. Leads route to agents who work them in their own systems, so the trail from source to closing frequently breaks at handoff. Measure coverage before debugging the dispatch.
02What identifier does Amplitude need?
Amplitude tracks both a device ID and a user ID and merges them when a user identifies. The merge rules decide who counts as one person, so a mistake here does not produce a small error — it changes every retention curve and cohort size in the account.
03Where should the event come from?
The kvCORE transaction record. Send closings at the brokerage's share of commission, attributed to the original lead source.
04How do I know it worked?
Amplitude shows the event in the user's activity stream with its properties expanded. Read the properties, because an event that arrives without its revenue fields still looks like a success.
