Visibility Rules

Visibility Rules

Visibility rules let you control exactly which pages your FOMOchat widget appears on. You can show it everywhere, only on specific pages, or exclude certain sections of your site.

How It Works

FOMOchat uses URL pattern matching to determine whether to show the widget. You can set up:

• Include rules: Only show on pages matching these patterns
• Exclude rules: Hide on pages matching these patterns

Setting Up Rules

1. Open your FOMOchat in the editor
2. Go to Settings (gear icon)
3. Find the Visibility Rules section
4. Add your include or exclude patterns

URL Pattern Examples

Pattern	Matches
/pricing	Only the pricing page
/blog/*	All blog posts and the blog index
/products/*	All product pages
*checkout*	Any URL containing "checkout"

Common Use Cases

Show only on landing pages

Include: /, /features, /pricing

Hide on blog and documentation

Exclude: /blog/*, /docs/*

Show only on product pages

Include: /products/*, /shop/*

Rule Priority

• If you have include rules, the widget only shows on matching pages
• If you have exclude rules, the widget shows everywhere except matching pages
• Exclude rules take priority over include rules

Tips

• Use * as a wildcard to match any characters
• Test your rules by visiting different pages on your site
• The preview in the editor always shows the widget regardless of rules
