We set up a tracking template for an ad, an ad group, and a campaign of type SEARCH_DYNAMIC_ADS. But when you click on ads, the tracking template is not added to the URL.

The problem is reproduced only for SEARCH_DYNAMIC_ADS. For all other ad types, the tracking template works correctly.

Example of tracking template
{lpurl}?roistat=google6_{network}_{adgroupid}_{creative}_{keyword}&roistat_referrer={placement}&roistat_pos={adposition}

Hello, 

Thank you for sharing the details. When an ad is clicked, the tracking template parameters will be added to your final URL to create your landing page URL. A tracking template created at the ad group, campaign, or account level applies to all of the ads in the corresponding ad group, campaign, or account. If you define multiple tracking templates at different levels, the most specific template will be used. The keyword tracking template is the most specific followed by the ad, ad group, campaign, then account. You may refer to this guide for more information. Could you please share the details on how you're validating that the tracking template parameters are not appended? If you're using the API reports, these results may not be returned for the Dynamic Search Ads. You may also refer to this help center article as a reference.

My company is an analytics service, we count all visits to the client’s site using a counter like this google analytics.
This means we fix their tracking template that was on the site visit.

Visits for all types of ads except SEARCH_DYNAMIC_ADS have a tracking template.

Hello, 

This is more of a product level question. You could reach out to the AdWords Product Team through the contact options available on this page.
