# Trigger exclusions

Exclude resources from issue triggers with negated patterns

Prefix an issue trigger pattern with `!` to exclude matching resources. For example, `!staging-*` alerts on every connection except your staging ones.

Wildcards now work anywhere in a pattern, so `prod-*-api` matches `prod-orders-api`. The dashboard lists the matching resources as you type.
