How to Combine Your Custom Tracking Template with ClickSambo's

Important: To ensure your ad links continue to work correctly, do not replace your existing tracking template. You must carefully merge it with the ClickSambo template by following the steps below.

This combined structure ensures that click data is first sent to ClickSambo for fraud analysis and then seamlessly passed to your original tracking URL with all of your custom parameters intact.

Step 1: Understand the Structure

First, let's look at the two components you will be merging:

[A] Your Existing Custom Template: This is the template currently in your Google Ads account. It starts with {lpurl} and includes your own tracking parameters.

Example: 

{lpurl}?source=google&campaign={campaignid}

[B] The ClickSambo Template: This is the template you copied from your ClickSambo account. It is designed to wrap around your template and contains a specific placeholder at the end: &target_url=

Example: 

https://track.clicksambo.com/track?key=12345...&target_url=

Step 2: Combine the Templates

The goal is to paste your entire existing template [A] directly after the &target_url= placeholder in the ClickSambo template [B].

Using the examples above, here is how you would combine them

Your Final, Merged Template [C]:

https://track.clicksambo.com/track?key=12345...&target_url={lpurl}?source=google&campaign={campaignid}

Step 3: Update Google Ads

Copy the final, merged template [C] and paste it into the "Tracking template" field in your Google Ads account settings (at the Account, Campaign, or Ad Group level).

This method ensures both your custom tracking and ClickSambo's fraud detection work together perfectly.
