01How it works

A traffic source's custom variables are the extra parameters its tracking links carry, each with the placeholder the traffic source fills in: parameter=placeholder, e.g. adid={ad_id}. p202 tracker get-url writes the live ones into every link of the source's accounts. A variable whose parameter is a built-in token (c1-c4, utm_*, t202kw, t202ref, t202b) sets that token's default instead.

Setup > Traffic Sources > variables edits the same list. Needs a role with remove_traffic_source and access_to_setup_section (Super user or Admin; the page shows the variables dialog only to them) and a key with ppc-networks scope.

03For agents

Running this from an agent

  • Read the same facts as JSON: p202 commands ppc-network variable --json.
  • With AI_AGENT, CLAUDECODE or another agent variable set, output is compact JSON and errors arrive on stderr as a JSON envelope with a hint.
  • Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 bad input, 2 auth, 3 network, 4 server error, 5 partial failure.
