X Pixel vs Conversion API
Here’s how these two tracking methods work:- X Pixel is JavaScript code on your funnel pages that tracks visitor actions and sends this data to X through their browser.
- Conversion API connects FunnelFox servers directly to X, ensuring events are tracked even when browser tracking fails or gets blocked.
Conversion API is recommended alongside X Pixel to maximize performance benefits. Learn more in the X documentation on Conversion API.
Use Conversion API
Conversion API acts as a backup when browser tracking fails or gets blocked. Here’s a common example: When someone purchases your product through PayPal, they complete the transaction on PayPal’s website rather than on your funnel. Some browsers (especially mobile app browsers) can’t track this properly, which means you might miss thePurchase event.
Conversion API solves this problem. When FunnelFox servers receive transaction details from PayPal, they automatically send a Purchase event to X using Conversion API. This ensures you never miss important conversion data.
