I am wanting to link visitors who have visited my website and then have performed an offline task up within a facebook audience.
I have set up facebook pixel to push a external_id when a user visits my site based on the users user_id
e.g
fbq('init', pixel.id, {
external_id: "35d3652b57be5238df572b6074a7794d966e3be78b19b32f712d060c8da202d6",
})
(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/server-side-api/parameters/user-data/)
I have then set up a custom audience (Customer List) which is the audience I want to use.
I later call the facebook api to add users to this custom audience based on their external_id
{audience_id}/users with schema EXTERN_ID and an array of external id's to add.
(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/audiences/guides/custom-audiences/)
Every thing seems to work and I can see in my facebook audience history that 9000 rows were added but the size still says "Fewer than 1,000"
Is there something I am missing here when using external_id?
Thank you
I was struggling with this one too. Try sending 'extern_id' in the pixel instead of external_id
fbq('init', '<YOUR_PIXEL_ID>', {
'extern_id': <UNIQUE_ID_FOR_THE_CUSTOMER>
});
as per the documentation here
