GPX support for regular expressions?

Hi,



Does GPX support regular expressions beyond a single * at the end of a URL?



Thanks,



Chad



Hey Chad, could you share an example?



Hi Harshita,



We want to trigger a dialog engagement for visits to:



http://domain.com/meetings/ABC123



But exclude:



/meetings/live



/meetings/recap



/meetings/ABC123/edit



We started with /meetings/* in the include list.



When we add these in the exclude list, they are successfully excluded:



/meetings/live



/meetings/recap



But when this is in the exclude list, it is still triggering the engagement:



/meetings/ABC123/edit



So I tried adding this to the exclude list, with no effect



/meetings/[A-Z0-9]+/edit



And then tried using /meetings/[A-Z0-9]+/ in the include list instead of /meetings/* with no effect.



Before continuing to try other options, I thought I'd see what the community already knows about what is/not supported.



Thanks!



By the way, we can't use Product Mapper rules to set the Audience because some of these pages do not have unique CSS elements to map to a feature (don't ask me, I didn't build it). Which is why I'm playing around with the URLs.

Ran into a similar need today, but within the Product Feature Tree.



We have a main page that has the form:



https://domain.com/*/mainpage/[guid]



Sub-pages have the form:



https://domain.com/*/mainpage/[guid]/subpage/



The problem is I can't isolate tracking page views to the main page. If I use "...mainpage/" then it won't pick up any because of the GUID. If I use "...mainpage/*" then it will pick up all of the sub-pages.



Thoughts on how to solve for this?



@caudet I just tested out your Prod engagements and it trigger only while I was on 'recap' page and it did not trigger on /live or /schedule or /abc/edit.



To me it seems to be working, happy to jump on a call to address this, if needed



fyi: @dileepnalla @michael_sweeney



Hey @alb , for product mapper, this is an upcoming feature which is on the roadmap, eta in few weeks



cc: @mickey / @ciarapeter



Thanks for following up @harshibanka. The reason it appeared to be fixed is that we replaced the original dialog with a tooltip, and triggered the tooltip with a static UI element that appears on /meetings/ABC123 but not /meetings/ABC123/edit. So we didn't solve the problem with the dialog, but we did get around it for the moment.



And I didn't really expect my regex attempt to work. For [A-Z0-9]+ to work as expected, GPX would also need to interpret the forward slashes "/" in the URL, which would not work because I did not escape those characters. When I have a moment I'll try a correctly formatted URL with escaped chars and see what happens.



@caudet I'd love to follow up on a call with you to understand this better, I'll send few times, thanks



Follow up to my previous comments.



This is now working to capture the /meetings/ABC123/edit urls we need to exclude:



/meetings/*/edit



I swear this was not previously working, with two people trying it separately and a third looking over a shoulder. That said, Harshita confirmed it works, as did I this time around. We'll just call it user error x3 and move on. ;)

@caudet thanks for confirming and closing the loop on this thread.



Yes, we do support Java regex.



@harshibanka , you mentioned this "Hey @alb , for product mapper, this is an upcoming feature which is on the roadmap, eta in few weeks"



Is the feature something like using the URL in combination with CSS elements?



@caudet second those thanks for piping your learning back in here : )



@alb you may use wild card to address your use case. For eg:



/subpage/]https://domain.com/*/mainpage/*/subpage/



Let me know how it goes



@mikewohlwend : Yes, that's the correct understanding.



@harshibanka Keeping this thread going for a bit longer...



I'm trying to use slightly more complex Java regex in a URL Rule in the product mapper, but I keep getting a "Failed to update event" error message.



As before, I'm trying to capture this URL:



https://domain.com/meetings/GJF69DK70GJE28F9210J



and not:



https://domain.com/meetings/GJF69DK70GJE28F9210J/edit



I've tried these regex options (with and without escaping), but get the same failed error:



https://domain.com/meetings/[A-Z0-9]+



https://domain.com/meetings/[A-Z0-9]{20}



Do you think these should be supported in a URL rule?



Thanks!



@caudet appreciate keeping the htread going :p



Did you try using wild card for that?



Currently, we do not support such advanced use cases with regex.



@harshibanka The wildcard works to exclude a URL in an engagement audience. Is there a way to exclude a URL in a product mapper URL rule?



You previously mentioned having support for java regex - do you have a summary of what is supported and where in the PX product this or that regex will work?



Thanks!



Hi folks, have to say I'm still a little confused here. Does PX support Regex or not? If so, to what level? And where in the product is it usable?



Thanks!



Hi @caudet , @alb , @mikewohlwend please see this month’s Release Notes: https://support.gainsight.com/PX/Release_Notes/PX_Release_Notes_November_2019 > Product Mapper Enhancements, the Regex Support from your ask is supported from the UI now

Great move---icons can help a user know why they might want to click the thing. Makes those hotspot starting points much more useful :clap:
