How to fire different pixels

Hey guys,

I'm running the same offer on different fb accounts and I'd like to fire a specific pixel based on the user's origin, but I'm not sure how to set it up.

I.e. User converts:
>> IF he came from FB_Account_1's banner, then Pixel 1 will be fired
>> IF he came from FB_Account_2's banner, then Pixel 2 will be fired
>> IF he came from FB_Account_3's banner, then Pixel 3 will be fired

The problem is that I can't set up more than 1 pixel on the aff network. I thought about using pixels on the campaign level in Thrive, but I'm not sure if it would comunicate all the required info to facebook.

Any ideas on how to make it work?

Hi klanzz,

you could use a custom event for your pixel as explained in this post from Zeno.
And then use this part in "dynamic" way:

Code:
fbq('trackCustom', "LanderView", {
   category: 'Gaming',
   lander: 'Wartune_LP1',
   offer: 'Wartune',
   eventname: 'IntialLanderView'
});
Meaning you always use the same pixel but different categories, e.g. Banner1,Banner2,Banner3 depending from where the user came.

Hey, thanks for your answer.

I think this would not work in my case, but correct me if I'm wrong.
I basically want to know if there's a way to set up pixels from different fb accounts for the same offer on the same affiliate network.

I.e.
I have 3 facebook accounts: Account A, Account B, Account C.
Every account has its own pixel: Pixel A, Pixel B, Pixel C.
I need to fire Pixel A when a user converts by clicking on Account A's link, Pixel B when converts by clicking on Account B's link and same goes for Account C.

Let me know if this is clear to you.

Okay i got your point. Seems like my idea will not help you with that... Just for my own understanding: 1 pixel on the aff network means that you integrate the pixel directly in the Aff network "system"? How about using a simple website with an automated redirect after a few ms that fires your pixel first? You could either create 3 different redirect-sites for each combo or one that is able to fire the right pixel based on the url tokens...

Correct.

I'm not sure if I got this part right... Would this redirect happen immediately AFTER a conversion has occurred?

Yes would happen immediately after.
Maybe i'm completely wrong about your whole setup?!
Check out this thread of mine from a few days ago thread, was taking/asking about the approach. Does that make any sense in your case or not at all?

PS: I wouldn't call myself an expert in the field at all - just try to help/brainstorm what came to my mind when i read your thread

I think this approach wouldn't work in my case because I need to track conversions that have revenue, but again I'm not knowledgeable enough on this matter so I might be wrong.

The only alternative option that comes to my mind is to set up my tracker's Iframe pixel on the affiliate network system and then place the facebook pixel on the campaign level in my tracker.

So it would look something like this:
User converts on the offer page >> tracker's Iframe pixel gets fired >> my tracker receives it, see from which campaigns the conversion came from >> facebook pixel attached to that specific campaign gets fired to the right facebook account.

I'm afraid that with this approach the facebook pixel wouldn't have access to all the informations he needs to work correctly (facebook ID, etc).

I don't know if this makes sense...
