Learn how to configure the Meta Conversions API Gateway using Stape in this step-by-step guide.
Meta Conversions API Gateway is the newest approach in setting up Conversions API and it looks like it’s the easiest one. Meta Conversions API Gateway receives events from the browser and sends them to the Conversions API. With Meta Conversions API Gateway, you won’t need to set up event deduplication, send user parameters and events from the server. Another huge advantage is having multiple domains/pixels within a single instance of Meta Conversions API Gateway.
One of the ways to use server-side tracking is sending data directly from your server endpoint to the server GTM container.

The Facebook conversion API is a powerful tool that allows you to track your website’s visitors and their activity on your site. This data can then be used to create custom audiences, test out different versions of ads, or even provide insights into who might be interested in the product. The most popular way of integrating Facebook conversion API is using the Google Tag Manager server container. But there are other ways to do that: using Zapier, direct integration, integration with the CRM using webhooks, and much more.
Setting up the Facebook conversion API may be confusing. But after you did the tremendous job of moving FB tracking to the server and think that job is done, you might log in to your events manager the next day and see red and yellow warnings. In this blog post, I will describe the most popular Facebook conversion API errors and warnings. Plus, share some tips on how to fix it.

In 2021, TikTok is the hottest social media app with over 1 billion monthly active users. That is why most marketers decide to bring it into their advertising strategies. People use TikTok on their mobile phones more than anywhere else. For quite a while, only Facebook was talking about Apple’s recent privacy updates. Only this time, new iOS tracking restrictions will also apply to TikTok ads. Because of the iOS restriction, TikTok custom audiences and events do not include people who opted out of tracking in iOS 14.
HubSpot is an excellent tool for marketers. One of the best features I like about HubSpot is having customer data collected in a single place. It allows tracking your campaign success and customer journey without any problems. It is no secret that one of the crucial customer data sources is the website. But creating a complete user persona one step before the purchase can be challenging, especially without the HubSpot integration. Fortunately, we can help you find a way around it.
By the end of 2024, Chrome and Chrome-based browsers will be done with third-party cookies. Safari and Firefox already implemented Intelligent Tracking Algorithms that can block trackers. That leads to the next point: digital advertising methods that rely on third-party cookies to target consumers might become ineffective or even stop working altogether. This change in how advertisers track users will hurt many publishers and ad networks that rely on these third-party companies to display ads and collect data from site visitors to understand their audience. In this blog post, I will explain what a third-party cookie is, why it matters, and how server-side tracking can help businesses transit to the world without third-party cookies.

The latest Apple announcement had many marketers worried about how to prepare their Facebook campaigns for iOS 14. The new mobile operating system limited the ability to use third-party cookies — a significant feature for most marketing and advertising campaigns.

This blog post will explain what advertisers should expect from the iOS 14 update and explore how to prepare Facebook campaigns and set up tracking so that all your efforts are not in vain.
Accurate tracking is getting more problematic because of privacy restrictions. With Apple’s iOS 14 update, users will be asked to opt out of or opt in for tracking on iOS devices. Studies show that around 90% of users will choose to opt out of tracking. It means that tracking pixels won’t work for 90% of iOS users. This article will describe how to set up the Facebook Conversions API for Unbounce so that Facebook and Instagram tracking still work accurately.
Checking conversions inside Google Analytics can be time-consuming. So what is the best way to send information about user activity on your site or orders from specific traffic sources?

Using Facebook server-side tracking (Facebook Conversions API) is getting more popular due to its ability to prevent tracking pixel blocking by ITPs and AdBlockers. Another massive benefit of Facebook conversion API is that it increases FB cookie lifetime. If you haven’t yet implemented FB Conversions API on your site, follow this guide.

Facebook Pixel allows you to track what users are doing on your site, collect remarketing audiences and create lookalikes. If the Facebook pixel is implemented correctly, it will feed relevant information to FB machine learning algorithms. FB ML will use pixel data to show your ads to people who are most likely to convert. For several years now, we could track events on the site via javascript code, Facebook SDK inside apps, or upload offline events. But how can you track users who installed Ad Blocker or track events outside the site? Or how can you extend a cookie lifetime? It can be done by implementing Facebook conversion API. This article will show you how to set up Facebook conversion API via Google Tag Manager Server Container.
Google released a Server-Side version of Google Tag Manager in 2020. Server-side tracking is more complicated than the web container set up, at least for now, since the idea and technology behind server tagging are entirely different from what we used to have on the web. But server-side tagging will give your site huge benefits. Server-side tagging is getting more popular due to its ability to track people using AdBlockers, browsers with ITPs, and other tracking restrictions.
