For the Redirect Action to take place, the Condition Group must evaluate to be true, the Rule must be set to “ON“, a “Fire On” property must be set, the “Redirect request to” Action must be selected, and a valid URL value set.
The “Fire On” Rule property can be set to:
- Every Page
- Once per Visit
- Once per Visitor
- Every Request (must be used for File or image asset paths)
