How to import from Umami
1
Export your data from Umami
Export your website data from Umami for the period you want to keep.
2
Upload the file to tinyanalytics
In your site’s import settings, choose Umami and upload the export file. tinyanalytics parses it in your browser and imports the events.
3
See it in your dashboard
When the import finishes, your Umami history is live across your reports.
The import worked when your Umami history appears in your tinyanalytics reports, and the import summary shows how many events imported, skipped, or were invalid.
What carries over from Umami
A Umami export contains individual events, so more detail survives the move than with an aggregate export. tinyanalytics translates Umami’s browser, OS, and device labels into its own taxonomy so they line up with your native traffic:
Channels are re-derived by tinyanalytics from the referrer and campaign data, so imported Umami traffic is classified by the same rules as your live traffic.
Good to know
- One import runs at a time per organization.
- Rows dated in the future are skipped, and malformed rows are dropped and counted, so you’ll see how many events imported, skipped, or were invalid.
- Re-running adds the data again — to redo an import, delete the previous one first (deleting removes all of that import’s data).
- Imported data is stored as ordinary events, so it flows through every report, including funnels, retention, cohorts, and period comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Does a Umami import keep the original event timestamps?
Does a Umami import keep the original event timestamps?
Yes. A Umami export contains individual events, so pageviews and sessions keep their own timestamps and event-level timing is preserved. That’s more detail than survives an aggregate export.
What carries over from a Umami export?
What carries over from a Umami export?
Pageviews and sessions with their timestamps; countries, regions, and cities where present; referrers and query strings, with referrers reconstructed to full URLs; and browsers, operating systems, and devices, normalized to tinyanalytics’ device labels with screen size preserved.
How do I redo a Umami import?
How do I redo a Umami import?
Delete the previous import first, then run it again. Re-running an import adds the data a second time rather than replacing it, and deleting an import removes all of that import’s data. Only one import runs at a time per organization.
Why did some rows get skipped during my import?
Why did some rows get skipped during my import?
Rows dated in the future are skipped, and malformed rows are dropped and counted. tinyanalytics reports how many events imported, skipped, or were invalid, so you can see exactly what happened to your export.
