sitefinity page setting for parameters

I have a controller that will be shared with three different pages in sitefinity. The API will take in different parameters for each of the three pages. Is there a page setting values I can set the parameters in and be able to use then in the Controller?

You can add public properties to the controller and these will appear in the designer of the widget - when you "Edit" the widget in the backend you can set different values to these properties.

So, each of the 3 pages can set unique values there.

Example:

[ControllerToolboxItem(Name = "TemporaryRedirectController", Title = "Temporary Redirect", SectionName = "Custom Widgets", CssClass = "sfMvcIcn")]
public class TemporaryRedirectController : Controller
{
    public string RedirectUrl { get; set; }

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        if (SystemManager.IsDesignMode)
        {
            return Content($"This widget will 302 redirect to {RedirectUrl}");
        }

        if (!this.RedirectUrl.IsNullOrEmpty())
        {
            return Redirect(this.RedirectUrl);
        }

        return new EmptyResult();
    }
}

In the sample above, you can drag this widget to 3 different pages and when you edit it, you will be able to set a different value to the RedirectUrl field.
