Event Parameters let you take certain bits of metadata attached to the event and use them as a custom dimension in your GA4 reports.
The available event parameters for Jet Calls can only be added after a jet_call event has occurred, so we recommend waiting a few days after adding your integration before setting these up.
Before proceeding, we recommend you read Google's article on best practices when using Custom Definitions.
In this article, we will cover:

- Using Custom Dimensions in Data Studio
Available Event Parameters for jet_call events

Using Custom Dimensions in GA4 reports
One your custom definitions have been added into your GA4 account, you will be able to use the Jet Interactive Dimensions as a comparison in your account.
Any custom dimensions will be listed at the top of your options, listed alphabetically by the Dimension name.
Using Custom Dimensions in Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio)
With the new release of GA4, any custom definitions that have been created in GA4 will also be available in Looker Studio (formerly called Data Studio).
You can find more information about using Data Sources in Looker Studio here
If you are finding that not all of your custom definitions are pulling through to Looker Studio, please ensure you are refreshing your data sources.
