Hi It is my understanding that once the user is in a redirect experiment (js-sdk), they will not be part of any other experiment on that page. What if I do need to run another experiment on the same page at the same time? Would mutually exclusive experiments solve this, or is there a way to expose the user to both a redirect experiment and a regular experiment at the same time?

Hi @witty-laptop-42616 good morning 👋 Your understanding is slightly broader than the actual behaviour: once a user qualifies for a redirect experiment, the JavaScript SDK stops processing any subsequent automatic experiments in that page-load loop, such as another Visual Editor or redirect test. It does not prevent separately evaluated feature-flag or inline experiments. If you need both, run the regular experiment through a feature flag—ideally evaluate it on the destination page after the redirect. Mutually exclusive experiments (namespaces) would do the opposite: they ensure the user enters only one experiment, so they would not solve this use case.

Thank you @flaky-noon-11399! I'm not 100% sure what "automatic experiments" are exactly. Couldn't find it in the docs either. How are they different from "regular experiments"? In our case (agency scenario), we don't have access to the site's codebase, and everything happens through the HTML snippet.
