  2. Hover over the step where you want to apply the parameter. Click edit and replace the field with the new parameter name in the "<param_name>" format.

    WARNING

    Make sure to keep the correct parameter syntax when editing.

Best Practices

  • Use clear, descriptive names for parameters. Example: user_email instead of p1.
  • Avoid duplicate parameters. Reuse existing ones where possible.
  • Test changes after editing or adding parameters to ensure accuracy.
  • Keep parameter values realistic to reflect real-world data.
