Short answer: Copy your Pixel (or dataset) ID or base code from Meta Events Manager, then paste it into the tracking or header-code section of your funnel's settings so it loads on every page. Publish, then check it with Meta's Pixel Helper browser extension to confirm it fires. I can't confirm the exact menu names in Funnel Foundry's current dashboard, so check the official site or help docs for the latest steps.
Step by step
- Get your Pixel ID. In Meta Events Manager, open your data source (Pixel/dataset) and copy the ID. If you don't have one, create one there first.
- Find the tracking code area. Look in your funnel or page settings for a spot labeled something like tracking code, custom code, or header scripts. Menu names change, so check the current docs.
- Paste the base code in the header. Add it at the funnel level if possible, so every step carries it. Otherwise add it page by page.
- Add event code where it matters. The base code records page views. For leads or purchases, add a Lead or Purchase event on the thank-you or confirmation page only.
- Publish and test. Visit your live funnel with Pixel Helper turned on, then check Events Manager's test events tool.
Common mistakes
- Firing Lead on the opt-in page. It should fire after the form is submitted, or you'll count visitors as leads.
- Installing it twice. Duplicate Pixels inflate your numbers. Use one method.
- Ignoring browser limits. Ad blockers and privacy settings block some tracking, so expect Meta's numbers to undercount. A server-side setup (Conversions API) can help, but it's more technical, and I can't say whether the platform supports it. Confirm on the official site.
- Skipping consent. Depending on where your visitors live, you may need a cookie consent notice. Ask a qualified professional if you're unsure about your obligations.
