Query parameters

To pass data to GitBook through URL parameters, you’ll need to pass the data in the URL in the format visitor.<prop>.

For example:

https://docs.acme.org/?visitor.language=fr

This will allow you to use these claims in the condition editor under the unsigned object:

visitor.claims.unsigned.language === "fr"

Data passed through query parameters must be defined in your visitor schema through an unsigned object. Additionally, query parameters can be easily changed by the visitor and are best suited for non-sensitive information.
