Introduction

Your database is integrated with Facebook pixel, which enables you to "measure, optimize and build audiences for your Facebook advertising campaigns, and to leverage the actions people take on your website across devices to inform more effective campaigns," according to Facebook. Once you have your Facebook pixel ID, you can add it to your database as a System Configuration, as shown in this article, or they can be added to individual Products.

Getting Started

If you have not done so already, create a Facebook pixel. In the Facebook pixel, locate the Facebook URL and take only the pixel ID from it.
