How to Use Wildcard URLs in Live Chat Campaigns

Last updated on Apr 18, 2025

Live chat campaigns in Akece support the use of wildcard URLs, giving you greater flexibility to define where a campaign should be displayed across your website.

Below are the rules and examples to help you configure URL patterns properly for chat widget campaigns.

General rules for defining URLs

  • Every URL must start with http:// or https://.

  • The campaign behavior will vary depending on how the URL pattern is defined.

Run campaign on an exact URL

If you want the campaign to display on one specific page only, define the exact URL without a trailing slash. Example:

https://dash.akece.com/app

This configuration will not be triggered if the URL has a trailing slash, query parameters (?) or fragments (#).
Examples:

βœ… Works for: https://dash.akece.com/app
❌ Won’t work for:

  • https://dash.akece.com/app/

  • https://dash.akece.com/app?param=1

Ignore URL parameters and fragments

To trigger a campaign regardless of parameters or URL fragments, add a slash at the end of the URL. Example:

https://dash.akece.com/app/

This setup will work for:

  • https://dash.akece.com/app/

  • https://dash.akece.com/app

  • https://dash.akece.com/app/?test=1

  • https://dash.akece.com/app/#section1

Run campaign on subdirectories

To display the campaign on a path and all of its subpages, use the * wildcard. Example:

https://dash.akece.com/*

This will activate the campaign on:

  • https://dash.akece.com/

  • https://dash.akece.com/app

  • https://dash.akece.com/app/support

  • https://dash.akece.com/blog/articles/how-to-use-akece

Run campaign on subdomains

To enable campaigns on the main domain and all subdomains, use the {*.}? wildcard. Example:

https://{*.}?akece.com/

This pattern will cover:

  • https://akece.com

  • https://app.akece.com

  • https://www.akece.com
