Tracking link parameters

Parameters are key-value pairs, where the key serves as the parameter name. In a tracking link, parameters appear as parameter_name={parameter_value}. When a user clicks an ad, the ad channel fills {parameter_value} with touchpoint data, and the tracking link delivers it to Airbridge. Tracking link parameters fall into three types by purpose: campaign parameters, Airbridge parameters, and channel parameters.

`#{"width":"160px"}` Parameter type	Key parameters

Channel parameter	click_id, sub_id, sub_id_1, sub_id_2, sub_id_3, ad_id, gaid_raw, ifa_raw, ip, user_agent, language

Example tracking link

The following is an example of an ad channel tracking link template. When a user clicks an ad, the ad channel fills macros such as {{campaign.title}} and {{request.id}} with actual values and delivers them to Airbridge. In this example, demo is a placeholder for your app name and ad_channel_example is a placeholder for the channel name. routing_short_id and tracking_template_id are values Airbridge assigns automatically when the link is created.
