Warning message on the pixel Diagnostics tab in Events Manager
You can watch the video above or follow the written instructions below:
If you followed the instructions for creating a new pixel in this article: Tutorial: How to Add a Pixel to Scalev
Then set up the Conversion API (CAPI) in this article: Tutorial: How to Get the Conversion API Access Token (So It Can Be Integrated with Your Scalev Account)
Next, you need to check and ensure that the parameter settings required by the CAPI pixel comply with Meta’s standards.
So that after following these Best Practices, your pixel will no longer display warning errors related to CAPI events in the Diagnostics tab.
Follow these steps:
