SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to controlling Fullstory's Capture APIs, enabling developers to pause and resume recording for performance, privacy, and resource efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pause and resume capture with FS('shutdownAsync') and FS('restartAsync') to optimize performance and privacy.
  • Privacy zones and route-based capture control to selectively record user sessions.
  • Re-identify users after restart to preserve session continuity across sessions.

Quick Start

  • Ensure you have access to Fullstory Capture APIs.
  • Pause capture before long operations with FS('shutdownAsync'), then restart after with FS('restartAsync') and re-identify the user using FS('setIdentity', { uid: user.id, properties: { displayName: user.name } }).
  • For clean shutdown on page unload, use the sync FS('shutdown') in beforeunload to guarantee the finalization of the session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I pause and resume Fullstory capture in a web application?▼

Re-identify users after restarting Fullstory capture by calling FS('setIdentity', { uid: user.id, properties: { displayName: user.name } }). This preserves session continuity by linking the new recording session to the existing user profile.

What is the best way to ensure a clean Fullstory shutdown on page unload?▼

Use the synchronous FS('shutdown') method within a beforeunload event handler to guarantee clean session finalization. This ensures the Fullstory capture session is properly closed before the browser unloads the page.

Can I control session recording for privacy zones and SPA navigation routes?▼

Yes, you can implement route-based capture control and privacy zones to selectively record user sessions. This is particularly useful for SPA navigation and privacy-sensitive areas where continuous recording is not desired.

How does Fullstory capture control work for development and testing environments?▼

Fullstory capture control uses shutdown and restart APIs to programmatically pause and resume recording. This optimizes resource efficiency in development and testing environments by avoiding unnecessary session data capture.
