One of the first things we have learned in the ever-changing advertising sphere was that the most important skill isn’t creativity – it’s adaptability. If channels like Facebook, TikTok, or Pinterest are currently included in your marketing plan, you may be struggling with limited ad personalization and performance reporting.
Major ad channels are presently working to combat these signal losses while still respecting user privacy, with one solution that should be top of mind – the Conversions API or Events API, more commonly referred to as CAPI. At Lifesight, we have gone live with CAPI for the big trio: Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest.
With third-party cookies fading away and event tracking becoming tricky, it’s easy to miss out on crucial events & insights. All are crucial pieces to a successful marketing strategy, and all are at risk without the implementation of CAPI.
While the traditional Facebook Pixel and TikTok Pixel capture front-end data, the CAPI ensures that both front-end and back-end events are tracked, filling the gaps that exist in data collection. It allows businesses to track conversions even if users have cookies blocked or disabled. It also provides more accurate and reliable conversion data.
With the loss in signal, CAPI is meant to provide and preserve data in unforeseen circumstances where the pixel may drop. It sends signal data from the website’s server instead of browser-based cookies.
Using the Conversions API
With Lifesight’s Conversions API (CAPI), tracking essential events becomes seamless. You can monitor not only purchases but also content views, pageviews, newsletter signups, subscription changes, and offline events. For e-commerce brands, it’s advisable to focus on the following events: purchase, initiate checkout, add to cart, product view, and email sign-up. Capturing these events, you can optimize ad targeting and efficiently drive improvements in ROAS and related cost-per-metrics.
