Regex Path
Regex paths redirect multiple URLs to a single URL. For example, a billing system may use the customer's contract ID in the URL, as in the following examples:
- www.example.com/Billing/374-3D3-AK4/
- www.example.com/Billing/F92-K52-V88/
- www.example.com/Billing/98D-NMK-3S2/
You can then create a regex path to normalize the URLs above so that all users go to www.example.com/Billing/.
Creating a regex path
On the navigation bar, go to settings > Property Settings > Regex Path and click + Add Regex Path.
In the billing system example above, the following regexes can be used:
The first regex is more precise, only matching URLs that start with "Billing", while the second regex matches any URL ending with a contract ID and retaining the start of the URL. In both of these examples, all three URLs above will be converted to www.mywebsite.com/Billing/.
| Regex | Replacement |
|---|---|
| ^Billing/[A-Z0-9]{3}-[A-Z0-9]{3}-[A-Z0-9]{3}/$ | Billing/ |
| ^(.+)/[A-Z0-9]{3}-[A-Z0-9]{3}-[A-Z0-9]{3}/$ | $1/ |
Regex paths must be configured in the DXA portal, after which the rule will apply to all subsequently recorded pageviews.
