This page details an example of how Google Ad Manager can be used to pass contextual data.
In GAM, key-value pairs are passed using the “cust_params” parameter either manually or through the IMA SDK.
-
To manually add “cust_params” to your GAM calls please consult the following documentation provided by Google: https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/1080597
Certain characters (ex = or &) must be encoded within the “cust_params” section.
- Please consult your specific IMA SDK documentation for specifics on add to add key-value pairs to the “cust_params” parameter.
