FullStory is a bot in the monitoring and analytics bots category, operated by Full Story.
FullStory is your digital experience analytics platform for on-the-fly funnels, pixel-perfect replay, custom events, heat maps, advanced search, Dev Tools, and more. FullStoryBot’s fetches and stores assets required to rebuild sites when viewing recorded sessions.
Monitoring bots check uptime, performance and page changes on behalf of a site owner or a third party. Allow the services you run yourself and exclude them from analytics so they do not inflate page views.
FullStory identifies itself with this user agent string:
FullStoryBot/1.0Anyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.
We have not confirmed whether FullStory follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
User-agent: FullStoryBot Disallow: /
User-agent: FullStoryBot Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /search
User-agent: FullStoryBot Allow: /blog/ Disallow: /
User-agent: FullStoryBot Allow: / User-agent: * Disallow: /
User-agent: FullStoryBot group, FullStory ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.FullStoryBot from FullStory's user agent; check Full Story's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.
Allow FullStory if it is a service you use, and keep its visits out of page views and ad requests either way.
Transfon Security for publishersFullStory is not a person. Exclude it from campaign and conversion data so reports reflect real visitors.
Transfon Security for advertisersAllow FullStory only if it works for your store, and keep it away from cart and checkout.
Transfon Security for e-commerceIf FullStory is a service you use, allow it on the endpoints it needs and block it elsewhere.
Transfon Security for SaaS and APIsrobots.txt is a request, not an enforcement. Transfon Security shows FullStory by name in the Top Bots report, so you can see how often it visits and which pages it reads. Block or allow it with a User Agent rule, or slow it down with a rate limit decision rule.

We have not confirmed whether FullStory follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: FullStoryBot" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "FullStoryBot" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so FullStory may not follow it, and anyone can send FullStory's user agent, so a fake FullStory ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
