AuthorStape Conversion Tracking Zoho CRM app (also known as Meta Conversions API for Zoho CRM) is the solution that allows its users to integrate Zoho CRM with the required platform. The app sends Leads' statuses updates to Meta using a reliable server-side connection (you can configure the app with Meta CAPI Gateway, Signals Gateway, or a server GTM container). The app also provides the option to send data on offline conversions.
When Meta receives data on what leads did after interacting with an ad, it can analyze the behaviour and pick the audience that will more likely convert into purchases. Server-side tracking, in its turn, ensures that data will be more precise and less affected by ad blockers and browser restrictions.
Stape Conversion Tracking Zoho CRM app is an excellent solution for those businesses that are:
This type of ad campaign is targeted at lead generation using a lead ad. The process starts when a new lead is generated from a Facebook form submission. Users fill out a form, and the data is automatically sent to Zoho CRM. Then you can continue working with the lead interested in the product or service. Stape's app reports the data on the statuses of your leads to the Meta Dataset. Based on this data, Meta can optimize the campaigns to reach audiences that are more likely to convert.
This option is available when the app is configured with server GTM. Since the data is primarily sent from the CRM to the server GTM, you can set it up to forward the data to any platform that supports server-side tracking.
Businesses that build their marketing funnel starting with online promotions on the Meta platform and have a lot of purchases from phone calls, online meetings, or from physical stores. Once you add the record about the purchase in CRM, Stape's app will automatically send it to Meta.
The app uses a server-side approach via Stape's platform. You can select the app integration method - Meta CAPI Gateway, Signals Gateway, or server GTM. So, if you have already implemented server-side tracking or are just going to do it and use Facebook for advertising, our app is a perfect solution to collect data precisely and optimize the campaign's performance.
