Lesson 6 of 7
The Conversions API Path
Browser pixels are increasingly blocked or limited, so platforms offer a server-to-server route. Meta's Conversions API (CAPI), and equivalents elsewhere, let your server or CRM send conversions directly to the platform.
Why and how
- It is resilient to ad blockers and browser cookie limits.
- It naturally fits offline and CRM events, which never touch a browser.
- When paired with the browser pixel, both send a shared
event_idso the platform deduplicates and counts one conversion.
Your serveror CRM→Conversions API→Ad platform
Key takeaway
CAPI sends conversions server-side, ideal for offline and CRM events. Share an event_id with the pixel so the platform does not double-count.
