Does Heap support the wildcard * character in event definitions?

Wildcards

The wildcard * character is fully supported in all types of events in Heap. You can use the wildcard character as a placeholder for any and all values in an event definition.

For example, if you have a unique ID in your URL (like a product ID) you can use the wildcard character in the event definition to capture all URLs containing that unique ID.

If the order page URL is: https://brand.com/12345678/orders/36293a8fde7e760f30aae48521935dd0

Then the corresponding event definition would use */orders/* to capture the two unique IDs.
