Meta Integration
AdTarget sends conversion events to Meta when users join your Telegram channel. This helps Meta’s algorithm optimize your ad delivery for real conversions.
- Pixel Setup - Add your Meta Pixel to AdTarget
- CAPI Events - Configure Conversions API events
How It Works
- Visitor clicks your ad and lands on your page
- AdTarget captures the Meta click ID (fbclid)
- They join your Telegram channel
- AdTarget sends a conversion event to Meta via CAPI
This creates a closed feedback loop: Meta learns which ad clicks lead to Telegram joins.
Why Use CAPI?
Browser tracking is unreliable. Ad blockers, iOS privacy, and browser restrictions break traditional pixel tracking.
CAPI is server-side. AdTarget sends conversion data directly to Meta’s servers, bypassing browser limitations.
Better optimization. More accurate conversion data means Meta’s algorithm can find better audiences for your ads.
What You’ll Need
- A Meta Business account
- A Meta Pixel ID
- A Conversions API access token (System User token)
Quick Setup
- Set up your Meta Pixel in AdTarget
- Configure CAPI events to send
Conversion Events
AdTarget can send these events to Meta:
| Event | When Sent | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lead | User joins channel | Primary conversion event |
| Purchase | User joins channel | Revenue-focused campaigns (includes value and currency) |
| CompleteRegistration | User joins channel | Alternative conversion type |
| Subscribe | User joins channel | Subscription-focused campaigns |
| Custom | User joins channel | Custom event name for specific campaign needs |
You choose which event type to send based on your campaign objectives.
Attribution Window
Tracked invite links expire after 7 days. If a user joins using the tracked link within that window, the conversion is attributed. If they join after the link expires or via other means, the join appears as organic.
