In our case, the page we would like the user to land on is - https://community.360alumni.com/receipt-reporting/ & the member field we would like to track is user_id.
So, our URL looks like - https://community.360alumni.com/receipt-reporting/?user_id=[[user_id]]
Lastly, click save and then "Send a Test" to your email. Click on the Button and see if the URL in the address bar appears something like this
