Removing external_id parameter? #4

Closed iamtompickering closed 3 years ago

iamtompickering commented 3 years ago

The company managing our clients Facebook Pixel has said the following: 

step 1: Find the Conversion API. This code contains:
https://graph.facebook.com/
503486403326924 - Pixel ID
step 2: Find the param external_id and delete it
external_id is not required parameter

Does this make sense to you? Is this something you are able to change?

FB Pixels have always been a bit confusing to me, so I am not entirely sure what they are referring to here!

Hi @iamtompickering,

At first sight it looks like events are tracked twice, once by client and once by server. If that is the case, I would suggest only track the same events once. AddToCart and Purchase by server and Pageview by client.

See the first implementation in the Facebook Documentation.

Is that a solution that would work for you?
