Tips on how to install FB Pixel, Mamoto and track anything with them

mufasis · 2021-01-31T14:39:19.114Z

I studied computer science in college. Did a lot of programming in basically all languages. I dropped out of school and became a pro poker player. I just trade options now and work on businesses and invest. These will be my first start ups though. I’m really looking forward to building this next one, I know it can do major big time numbers especially if this industry finds it useful. Bubble is the future. It’s so fast and cheap to test ideas and its very capable.

I wish I knew more people using no code so I could meet in person and bounce ideas.

If you will organize Zoom ‘mastermind’, I will join for sure

Thats not a bad idea. Damn I just had an idea but from what I’ve read live streaming is very costly and demanding…

Probably, it’s better to switch to private chat. Just to keep this thread clean

Do you know if it works with matomo.org and or https://plausible.io/ ?

gs1 · 2021-01-31T20:22:05.729Z

Honestly, have no idea. What are they used for?

But if they use conversion tracking script, you can add to GTM as custom HTML tag

They are alternatives of google analytics, in a more privacy focus manner

GTM works with mamoto:

I just did the Mamoto integration with GTM.
Here is the step by step screenshots:

hey @gs1!

Great post btw! I just have a quick question!

I need to track when a user sends a message to another user by clicking button SEND… so I did this:

On GTM, added a tag named FB - MessageSent with custom HTML:
<script> fbq('trackCustom', 'MessageSent'); </script>
No trigger added on GTM
On SEND button WF added a ‘run javascript’ event with the same code:
<script> fbq('trackCustom', 'MessageSent'); </script>

Is this enough? Or should I set a trigger on GTM too?

Thanks a lot!

hey @jmbarquet
Not need to add something to GTM.
Only add script to WF.
GTM should only ‘fire’ initialization of base Pixel

Also, not need open and closing script. Put just fbq('trackCustom', 'MessageSent')

@gs1 is this the only config to have the event in fb ad manager ?

manuelmaccou · 2021-04-22T23:51:44.709Z

Thank you so much for this! I’m running into an issue. I set up GTM and put it in the header and body on the settings page of bubble. I also created the pixel, the created a new tag with custom HTML in GTM and added the pixel code

When I go to event manager in FB to test it, nothing shows. I expected to see something on each page view.

I then added the Toolbox plugin to bubble. I just copied the custom tag from your example. But still nothing shows in the fb event manager test. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

In the FB Pixel manager, there is a different place to see the ‘testing’ events, as it will know that you’re the creator. I will start from there.

manuelmaccou · 2021-04-23T16:51:42.738Z

Sorry that’s the place I meant. I’m on the page that lists my Pixel and then clicked the “test events” tab

Any insight on how this method will be affected with the new iOS release and privacy changes? I’m very much a beginner so I don’t understand how everything will work, but it seems like setting up the firings in the workflow will not comply if the user opts out of tracking. Is this true?

Hi @gs1 ,

Great post!
What I can’t seem to find anywhere is how your trigger looks like?
The guy in this video https://youtu.be/DVRxkrHLpl0?t=1561 uses the text on the button to determine which button it is. Why then do you use toolbox and javascript?
Could you please share a screenshot of what your custom triggers look like?

And I am also curious about changes regarding IOS14 if you know what will happen to the pixel and GTM method.

Plus I see you always put a value behind your script, is that necessary?
is this enough in my workflow: 'fbq(‘trackCustom’, ‘UserAskedQuestion’);
Or does it have to have a value?: 'fbq(‘trackCustom’, ‘UserAskedQuestion’, {value: true});

Many thanks!
