Episode description

Brad Redding, Founder & CEO @ Elevar (Connect on LinkedIn and Twitter) shares 3 tracking issues with the Facebook Pixel that are impacting Elevar customers (and many more!). The big one is how to block spam events from attaching fake purchase data to your pixel but you'll also learn about a new-ish issue where CAPI events reported inside the Facebook UI are severely under-reporting (even though it works fine) and $0 conversion value shown in Ads Manager (even though value was sent).
