Possible to block/filter user agent from all data?

Hi,

Heap right now does not provide the feature in the UI to stop Heap from capturing data for sessions based on User Agent, as Heap could not know the user agent on your platform before running the script, hence, it would have to load (start capturing the session) to know the user agent.

However, you can block Heap to capture data for these testing suite sessions by adding a logic to your Heap snippet code and selectively loading Heap.

I have provided a sample code below that can block Heap from capturing data for specific user agent.

Script to define Heap:

<script type="text/javascript">   
window.heap=window.heap||[],heap.load=function(e,t){window.heap.appid=e,window.heap.config=t=t||{};var r=document.createElement("script");r.type="text/javascript",r.async=!0,r.src="https://cdn.heapanalytics.com/js/heap-"+e+".js";var a=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(r,a);for(var n=function(e){return function(){heap.push([e].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,0)))}},p=["addEventProperties","addUserProperties","clearEventProperties","identify","resetIdentity","removeEventProperty","setEventProperties","track","unsetEventProperty"],o=0;o<p.length;o++)heap[p[o]]=n(p[o])};    
</script>

Script to selectivelly loading Heap:

    <script>
        // Get the user agent string from the browser
        var userAgent = navigator.userAgent;

        // Strings we want to exclude (replace with the strings for your case)
        var blockedStrings = ["testing_suite1", "testing_suite2"];

        // Validating the user agent
        function isUserAgentNotBlocked(userAgent) {
            for (var i = 0; i < blockedStrings.length; i++) {
                if (userAgent.includes(blockedStrings[i])) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            return true;
        }

        // Running Heap only if user agent is not to be blocked
        if (isUserAgentNotBlocked(userAgent)) {
            // User agent does not contain blocked strings, run Heap
            heap.load("YOUR_APP_ID");
        } else {
            // User agent contains blocked strings, do not run Heap
            console.log("Heap not loaded for the user agent");
        }
    </script>

Hope this helps!
