Capture data by domain
New
Can I capture data by a specific domain url string? I see how to filter by sub domain (ie. app.example.com), but I want to filter by url string, such that I capture data for numbers 2, 3, and 5 (in example below), but don’t capture data on our staging and test environments
1. example.com/version-test/____,
2. example.com/m____,
3. example.com/version-live____,
4. example.com/version-uifixes____,
5. example.com/_____etc.

Hi Michael,
Good question -
I’m not sure you can exclude by URL from Fullstory but only by subdomain.
Depending on how you have FS implemented, One possible option is adding custom logic to the site (or GTM) to block FullStory from triggering based on the page URL.
Hey @Michael! Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the community! 😊
@drozo is correct in that you cannot block data capture for specific URL paths out-of-the-box. He is also correct by providing the solution of using GTM to block FullStory on certain pages by defining when FullStory will “fire”. 👍
There are a few other solutions I wanted to offer as well if you don’t have tag manager, such as deciding which pages contain the FullStory script. If you don't want to capture certain pages within FullStory, you'll just want to remove the FullStory script from those pages. That being said, when sessions have missing pages, it can be confusing, and you might not love the results.
Another option to explore would be to try calling our FS.shutdown() API immediately after the snippet is executed to prevent capture from starting on particular pages, and use FS.restart() to begin capture on the URL paths you'd like to capture.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
