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

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 ?

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.

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!

Hi @moe.mailery

Toolbox needed to be able to add JS to your WF. JS snipped is the trigger attached to the WF
Just read this thread carefully message by message

How are you inserting the code? Can you please provide your project’s public share link and published link?

gs1 · 2021-09-28T08:59:03.111Z

I’m using Toolbox to run the code

Hei @gs1 I ve a technical question here (that I want to be sure 100%)

I ve followed your step by step approach and it’s amazing. Thanks a lot

BUT in order to have a more precise conversion in Facebook nowadays there is this Facebook API Conversion, that means I should sent to facebook server directly from my Bubble server (if I got it right…). In regard to our Javascript action we run with the plug in my question is:

Is it exactly the way of sending server to server event, right? We don’t need to configure or set up nothing more in order to have 100% precise event triggering?

Thanks

Hey @gianlucabiancardi96 . Unfortunately, I won’t be able to answer your question. I did that integration quite a long time ago and I’m not familiar with nowadays Facebook’s approach using API calls.

@gs1 , your first video is private. Can you make it public ?

Hi all,
