Loader Facebook Conversion

This component adds events to the Facebook Conversion API.

Requirements

To use the Facebook loader, one needs to authorize the Facebook account. Authorization can be done in 2 ways:

  1. The user who has access to an Ad account in Facebook Business Manager and has access to Audiences click on the “Authorize” button in the same browser where one logged in in his Facebook Ad account.
  2. Authorization link can be copied by an analyst working in Meiro Integrations and sent for authorization to a person who has the required level of access and should open the link in the same browser where one logged in in his Facebook Ad account.
  3. Users would then have to set up a Facebook Pixel with conversion API.
