Rule groups settings overview

To add a new condition to a rule group

• Once you are in the intercept in which you want to set rules
• Click the "New Condition" button

1. Country: Triggers intercept when a visitor from a specified country accesses your website.


2. Browser type: Enables intercepts based on the visitor's browser, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge.


3. Device type: Configure rules to target specific devices, such as mobile, tablet, or desktop.


4. Operating system: Restrict intercepts to visitors using specific operating systems.


5. Button: To trigger an intercept based on a button click. Using this rule, intercept can be triggered based on certain actions such as when a visitor clicks the “Make Payment” button, or when the user clicks on the “Exit” button. Every HTML button has a unique ID attribute associated with it; you need to enter this ID while setting up the rule.
   E.g.: Following is the code for the “Pay Now” button on the website with its ID as “pay”.
   <button id="pay" >Pay Now</button>
   Entering the ID "pay" as a rule value will trigger the intercept when a visitor clicks the "Pay Now" button.


6. Page URL: Using this rule you can configure the intercept on specific pages of the website. You need to add the page URLs excluding the website name in the page URL field based on the selected operands.
   Scenario 1: If you want to show the intercept on all the website pages excluding the Help section on your website, you can set it using the Page URL rule, where you can add a URL for the help page and use the “Not equals to” operator. That way the system will show intercept on all the website pages excluding the Help page.
   Scenario 2: If you want to enable intercept only on certain pages of your website, you can add URLs for them as below using the “Equals to” operator.


7. Session duration: Trigger an intercept after the visitor spends a defined amount of time on your website. Simply set the desired time in minutes and seconds.


8. User type: There are two types of users in the Intercept New users (users who are visiting the website for the first time) and Returning visitors (users who have visited the website earlier) Whenever there is a visitor to the website, the system saves a cookie to the visitor’s browser using this cookie the system decides whether the visitor is a new user or a returning user.
   
   Note: You can set expiry for cookies under Project Settings. Once the cookies have expired, if the user visits the website again the user will be treated as a new user.


9. URL parameter: This rule can be used to trigger the intercept based on the values passed in the URL parameters. If you wish to show the intercept when a certain value is present in any URL parameter it can be achieved using this rule.
   


10. IP: Trigger intercepts for specific users based on their IP addresses. This is useful for targeting specific geographical locations or user groups.


11. Data layer: This is one of the most important rules using which you can access the values saved in the variables present on the website. Websites save certain user-specific values in the variables that are present on the website based on their records or information available with the website database. Conditions can be added to check and trigger the intercept based on these values present in the objects and variables.
    Example: For the below example, the system will check the “user” object for “firstName” and “country” variables; and if the values present in them are “John” and “US” respectively, then the conditions are true and intercept will be shown to the website visitor. Else intercept won't be shown.
    Variable name format:
    • ObjectName.VariableName
    • VariableName - if the variable is defined on a global level (i.e. not within an object)
