How can I search for a user session if I haven't passed in customer email addresses using Fullstory's API?

Who can use this feature?

- Available for admins, architects, explorers, and standard users.

Great question! 

If your user sessions are anonymous (eg. User 1234), you can generate a search for sessions based on a specific text string that you'd expect the user to enter within their session. 

For example, if a user inputs their email address in order to sign into your application and this field is unmasked within Fullstory, you can search for when a user inputted that exact text by using the "Changed Text is" event filter.

The example search provided above should return any sessions where a user typed test.user@gmail.com on your website.

Keep in mind, we index text changes exactly as the end-user entered them on your website. This means that the text is case sensitive when searching for "Changed Text is."
