> **Good to know**: This page is about the [Actions-framework](/docs/connections/destinations/actions/) Amplitude Segment destination. There's also a page about the [non-Actions Amplitude destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/amplitude/). Both of these destinations receives data _from_ Segment. There's also the [Amplitude Engage Segment source](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/amplitude-cohorts/), which sends data _to_ Segment!

## Benefits of Amplitude (Actions) vs Amplitude Classic
22+
23+
Amplitude (Actions) provides the following benefits over the classic Amplitude destination:
24+
- **Fewer settings**. Data mapping for actions-based destinations happens in during configuration, which eliminates the need for most settings.
25+
- **Clearer mapping of data**. Actions-based destinations enable you to define the mapping between the data Segment receives from your source, and the data Segment sends to the destination.
26+
- **Support for Amplitude's HTTP API v2**. Amplitude (Actions) is built on the latest version of [Amplitude's HTTP API](https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/http-api-v2){:target="_blank"}.
27+
- **Revenue is a top-level property**. Amplitude (Actions) elevates `revenue` to a top-level property in requests sent to Amplitude. This enables inclusion of this data in Amplitude features like customer LTV reports.

279+
If you used Amplitude Classic in cloud-mode, you'll notice different responses from Amplitude to calls you make with the destination. Classic Amplitude was built on Amplitude's now-deprecated HTTP API v1.
