Add custom parameters to URLs

Once you've created custom parameters, add them to a Final URL Suffix or directly to landing page URLs. If you add custom parameters to URL templates, parallel tracking may prevent the parameters from being available to your landing pages.

The steps you take for adding custom parameters to URLs are slightly different depending on which level you're using them.
