Complete Setup
Create Your Site
Go to your AdTarget dashboard , click + Website, enter your domain, and click Add website. You’ll see your new site with a unique ID.
Add the Tracking Code
Copy this code and paste it in the <head> of your website:
<script
defer
data-website-id="atid_YOUR_WEBSITE_ID"
data-domain="yourdomain.com"
src="https://adtarget.io/track.js">
</script>Not sure how? Pick your platform: Wix · Webflow · WordPress · Shopify · Framer · Other
Add Your Meta Pixel
Go to your site’s Settings, open the Pixels tab. Fill in the three fields: Name, Pixel ID, and Access Token. AdTarget auto-validates when all fields are filled.
Connect Your Telegram Bot & Channel
Open Telegram and message @BotFather. Type /newbot and follow the steps. Copy the token you receive and paste it in your AdTarget dashboard.
Once the bot is connected, add it as an admin to your Telegram channel. AdTarget auto-detects the channel.
Private channels are recommended for the most accurate attribution. Public channels have a Telegram limitation that can prevent conversion tracking. Learn why →
