Advanced URL Targeting - Several settings to determine where And how to show your alerts

URL Targeting defines as a base for triggering the campaigns. It essentially allows you to specify the landing pages or website on which you would want to show the real time alerts.

It is very important to set up the trigger conditions in an appropriate manner so as to make sure that the campaign triggers seamlessly on the website/landing page.

This guide will help you get acquainted with how you can perform Advanced URL Targeting.

There are 2 sections in the dashboard where URL Targeting would be applied:

1. Display Settings

2. Capture Settings

1. Display Settings

Display Settings has further 3 options:

A. Display Alerts On Following URL(s)

B. Don’t Display Alerts On Following URL(s)

C. Display Alerts With Following Referer URL(s)

A. Display Alerts On Following URL(s)

Under this, you need to enter the URL where you want the Alert to trigger along with the condition.

NOTE: We highly recommend you to not add ‘https’, ‘http’ or ‘www’ in the URL that you enter.

B. Don’t Display Alerts On Following URL(s)

Under this, you can enter the URL where you do not wish to show the Alert along with the condition.

NOTE: We highly recommend you to not add ‘https’, ‘http’ or ‘www’ in the URL that you enter.

C. Display Alerts With Following Referer URL(s)

This section enables you to run different conditions based on different sources.

For example - If you add ‘Facebook’ under this section then, the campaign will be triggered only for users coming via Facebook.

Now, under these 3 options - there are 3 types of trigger conditions that are predefined in the system:

A. Exactly Matches

B. Contains

C. Regex

Let us understand this with an example, if you wish to trigger a campaign on myhome.com, then here is how all the trigger conditions will work :

A. Exactly Matches [With this, the campaign will only trigger on myhome.com]

B. Contains [With this, the campaign will get triggered on all the URL containing myhome.com like -myhome.com/pricing, myhome.com/features or myhome.com/blog] - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

C. Regex [Regular expression or ‘Regex’ is used to target multiple and complicated URLs by providing a pattern to match the URLs. This is mainly for developers only]
