Advanced Setup: Using the Conversions API

🔴 You will need to setup a custom domain to use the Conversion API, as the domain needs to be verified in Facebook Business settings. You will not be able to add your default Raisely domain to your Facebook Business account.

You can use the Conversions API alongside your regular Facebook Pixel. This is Facebook's recommended way to integrate events that happen on your fundraising website with Facebook ads, and allows Facebook to directly receive information from our servers.

First, you need to head back to Facebook to get an access token.

Steps:

In your Raisely admin panel, go to the campaign you're editing and navigate to  Settings > Apps & Integrations.

2

Toggle on the  Facebook Pixel integration

3

Select the  Browser + Conversions API tab

4

 Confirm you have the appropriate permission in your privacy policy to share data with a third party, then enable the API.

5

Paste your Pixel ID in the box titled Pixel ID

6

Paste your access token in the box titled Access Token

Your integration will now be set up. If you wish, you can also customise the data sharing preferences. By default Raisely won't send email or name to Facebook, but if you're experiencing issues with data matching in Facebook you can switch this to Maximum.

The Test Code allows you to test your integration, and will be given to you by Facebook under the Test events tab in Event Manager.

Verify your domain

<meta name="facebook-domain-verification" content="somerandomstringofcharactersandnumbers" />
	

You will need to copy this tag and place it into your campaign via the Campaign Settings > Apps & Integrations > Page Head (Advanced)

Once you have placed the meta-tag into the Page Head, head back to Facebook and click Verify Domain. it may take up to 5-minutes for Facebook to verify the domain, but in most cases will be verified immediately.

Tracking your campaign with events

Once your Facebook Pixel integration is set up, Raisely will begin sending events to Facebook each time someone does something significant on your fundraising campaign.

We automatically send page views to Facebook, along with the following pixel events.

💡 Note: Raisely often doesn't have thank you pages with unique URLs. Instead, we recommend you track the success of your Facebook ads based on these events below.

{
  value: 100,
  currency: "USD"
