title: How to include URL parameters in MailChimp confirmation page url
body: <p>I'm creating a mailchimp signup form, following <a href="https://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/design-and-host-your-own-thank-you-pages" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this documentation.</a> I'm hosting my own signup form, so I'm specifying that URL here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hCiTV.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hCiTV.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I want to include a dynamic URL parameter that will send the email address entered in the form to my thank you page.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the format <a href="https://kb.mc4wp.com/add-variables-to-redirect-url/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">shown here</a>, and I've also tried using merge codes, like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/thankyou?email=*|EMAIL|*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or if there's an entirely different way to go about this, using a custom form or the API.</p>
