Custom Channel Mapping

Custom channel mapping lets you define your own rules for how fraud0 categorizes incoming traffic. Custom rules take priority over the default channel definitions, so you can tailor channel names to match your internal reporting structure.

  1. Open the Management area in the fraud0 interface.
  2. Select the tag you want to configure.
  3. Click the Channel Mapping tab.

Click + New mapping to add a rule. Each rule consists of the following fields:

FieldDescription
Parameter NameThe URL parameter or session dimension to evaluate (e.g. utm_source, utm_medium).
OptionsThe match condition to apply. See the list of available conditions below.
Parameter ValueThe value to match against.
Fraud0 channel nameThe channel name that will appear in fraud0 reports when the rule matches.
ConditionDescription
exactly matchesThe parameter value must be an exact match.
is one ofThe parameter value must match one of several specified values.
containsThe parameter value must contain the specified string.
starts withThe parameter value must start with the specified string.
ends withThe parameter value must end with the specified string.
matches regexThe parameter value must match the specified regular expression.
does not exactly matchThe parameter value must not be an exact match.
does not containThe parameter value must not contain the specified string.

You can combine multiple conditions within a single rule by clicking + And. All conditions must be met for the rule to match. For example, to create a channel called “GooglePaid” you could combine:

  • utm_source contains google
  • AND utm_medium contains paid_search

Each rule in the table has Edit and Delete buttons. Click Edit to modify any field, then click Save to apply changes or Cancel to discard them. Deletions cannot be undone.

Once you have at least one custom mapping rule, two additional options appear:

  • Hide all default channels — When checked, only your custom channel names appear in reports. Default channels created by fraud0 are hidden.
  • Hide selected channels — A multi-select dropdown that lets you hide individual default channels while keeping the rest visible.
