Page URL targeting (regex)

Sourcepoint's tracking systems can match the website to the property name in your organization's campaign in a few ways. If your organization wishes to use regex commands as part of your targeting in scenario setups this article can help you.

• Page URL targeting condition

Matching a website to a property name

Sourcepoint's CMP script implemented on your organization's webpage uses the document.location.href javascript command to retrieve the URL of the website. It passes this information to our servers where a lookup against a property name is performed to determine whether there is an active campaign.

For this reason it is advantageous to choose property names that match your website URL e.g. 'www.football24.com', 'www.allsports24.com'.

Optional

An explicit link to a campaign's property name can be established through the CMP stub code implemented on your organization's webpage. This can be done by adding the propertyHref parameter to the configuration part and setting its value to the property name in your Sourcepoint campaign.

Please remember that the term 'https://' must precede the full property name in the propertyHref value.

<script>
   function _typeof(t){return(_typeof="function"==typeof Symbol&&"symbol"==typeof Symbol.iterator?function(t){return typeof t}:function(t){return t&&"function"==typeof Symbol&&t.constructor===Symbol&&t!==Symbol.prototype?"symbol":typeof t})(t)}!function(){for(var t,e,o=[],n=window,r=n;r;){try{if(r.frames.__tcfapiLocator){t=r;break}}catch(t){}if(r===n.top)break;r=n.parent}t||(function t(){var e=n.document,o=!!n.frames.__tcfapiLocator;if(!o)if(e.body){var r=e.createElement("iframe");r.style.cssText="display:none",r.name="__tcfapiLocator",e.body.appendChild(r)}else setTimeout(t,5);return!o}(),n.__tcfapi=function(){for(var t=arguments.length,n=new Array(t),r=0;r<t;r++)n[r]=arguments[r];if(!n.length)return o;"setGdprApplies"===n[0]?n.length>3&&2===parseInt(n[1],10)&&"boolean"==typeof n[3]&&(e=n[3],"function"==typeof n[2]&&n[2]("set",!0)):"ping"===n[0]?"function"==typeof n[2]&&n[2]({gdprApplies:e,cmpLoaded:!1,cmpStatus:"stub"}):o.push(n)},n.addEventListener("message",(function(t){var e="string"==typeof t.data,o={};if(e)try{o=JSON.parse(t.data)}catch(t){}else o=t.data;var n="object"===_typeof(o)?o.__tcfapiCall:null;n&&window.__tcfapi(n.command,n.version,(function(o,r){var a={__tcfapiReturn:{returnValue:o,success:r,callId:n.callId}};t&&t.source&&t.source.postMessage&&t.source.postMessage(e?JSON.stringify(a):a,"*")}),n.parameter)}),!1))}();
</script>
<script>
   window._sp_ = {
      config: {
         accountId: 7777,
         baseEndpoint: 'https://cdn.privacy-mgmt.com',
         propertyHref: 'https://football.sportsaction.com',
         joinHref: true 
      }
   }
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.privacy-mgmt.com/wrapperMessagingWithoutDetection.js"></script>

An explicit link can also be established by adding the propertyId parameter to the configuration code and setting its value to the property id in your Sourcepoint campaign.

Using propertyHref or propertyId could help when testing implementations on pre-production websites prior to actual launch. More information on these parameters can be found here.

Page URL targeting condition

The page URL targeting condition allows your organization to specify with more control when a message should appear based on the URL address of specific pages.

From a new or existing step in a scenario, click Add Condition.

Use the Conditions dropdown menu to select Page URL Match.

In the Page URL Match panel, select whether you want to use the condition to include or exclude webpages that contain certain words in the URL. The selection will have a white background

Input the word, phrase, etc. that will be included or excluded as part of the targeting condition and where in the URL the word, phrase, etc... can be found.

Click Add when finished. 

Examples - page URL targeting with regex

A regular expression (shortened as regex) is a sequence of characters that specifies a search pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation.

We provide two examples how regex can be used with the Page URL Match gate.
