Congratulations! Now your bridge is up and running

 

Common questions for Facebook Conversions API

How does Facebook Conversion API work?

Facebook Conversions API is Facebook’s new way of sending events (e.g. conversions) to the Facebook platform allowing the advertiser to specify which data to send and therefore have full control of the data sent to the Facebook platform. To understand how Facebook Conversions API works, here's a breakdown of the key steps:

 

  1. User enters the website: When a user visits your website, ensure that you have a Facebook Pixel in place. The Facebook Pixel stores essential user data in cookies.
  2. Server saves user information: Similar to saving IP addresses and other parameters, your server will securely store user data collected by the Facebook Pixel.
  3. Event triggering: When a user triggers an event, such as making a purchase or submitting a form, your server will send a request to the Facebook server. This request includes information about the event and the user data saved by your server.

 

To use Facebook Conversions API, you need to set up the following:

 

  • Meta Business Manager: This is a mandatory requirement as it allows you to use Meta Conversions API effectively. Ensure that your Facebook Pixel is associated with the Business Manager.
  • Facebook App: You need to set up a specialized Facebook App that works with Facebook Conversions API. This app is combined with your Business Manager for seamless integration.

 

Facebook Conversions API tracks various events, including:

 

- Leads

- Affiliate payments

- Find locations

- Phone calls

- Form submissions

- Purchases

- Email subscriptions

- Subscription changes

How to use Facebook Conversion API?

To use Facebook Conversion API effectively, companies should consider the following:

  • By utilizing both the Conversions API and Pixel, advertisers can achieve optimal full-funnel tracking and reliable data sharing. This ensures more robust tracking capabilities and enhanced data insights to drive successful advertising campaigns.
  • With the Conversions API, advertisers can capture additional data such as CRM data and lower funnel events. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of customer behavior and enables better targeting and optimization strategies.
  • While some companies have the option to develop the Conversions API technology in-house, it may not always be the optimal solution. With existing operational duties, using a trusted Facebook Marketing Partner (FMP) like LeadsBridge can provide a streamlined and efficient way to leverage the Conversions API without encountering the mentioned challenges.
