Integrate Facebook Conversion API to get enhanced conversion tracking and Odoo website events analytics
What is Odoo Facebook Conversions API, it is a way to send your marketing data, such us website events, some customer information, directly from your Odoo server to Meta (Facebook). This is an alternative channel as opposed to integration using the Odoo Facebook Pixel script. The Facebook CAPI integration can extend your Facebook Pixel tracking or replace it completely.
This data is collected in Odoo when your website visitors and customers make their journey on your Odoo website. Collected data is complemented by product data, and customer data, like as country, e-mail, phone number, in case if you enabled Advanced Matching. Odoo periodically sends this tracking data in a batch via Facebook CAPI integration.
This solution is designed to track customers' visits to e-commerce web pages and their eCommerce actions.
Advantages of using Facebook Conversion API in Odoo
The Facebook Conversion API helps track and measure conversions more accurately, especially when traditional tracking methods like browser-based cookies are limited.
Extended tracking of events, that are happened on Odoo side, like as signing of a sale order on Odoo customer portal, or making a payment through the generated payment link, allow providing additional tracking data about a customer journey.
With more reliable data, the Meta Conversion API helps accurately attribute conversions to the correct advertising campaigns, leading to better insights into the effectiveness of their marketing strategy.
The Facebook CAPI facilitates cross-device tracking, enabling businesses to understand how users interact with their ads and complete conversions across multiple devices, providing a more comprehensive view of the customer journey.
Using this solution, you can integrate and configure a Facebook Conversion API with your Odoo, collect website analytics and send events data to Facebook Events Manager. It's quite easy to start and does not require involving of developers. Just add a Facebook Pixel ID and an access token in a tracking service on Odoo side and activate the Conversions API mode.

The solution cleans sensitive tracking data such as payload, client IP address, and user agent. You can control the period after which the purging is performed. By default, it's 30 days.
Additionally, you can activate the "Completely delete log entries older than the specified period" option to remove all internal tracking log records after this time.
Click on the "Manage Tracking Services" link or go to the "Configuration" - "Tracking" - "Services" menu and create a new tracking service for your Odoo website.
Configure the tracking service in the following way:
- Specify a website (if you have a multi-website environment).
- Select the service type "Facebook Pixel".
- Fill in your Facebook Pixel ID.
- Activate the "Internal Logs" option.
Internal logging is a required option for Meta CAPI integration, it must be enabled.
Additionally, it provides internal tracking analytics. To view the log records related to the current service, click the "Logs" button at the top of the form.
- Activate the "Conversions API" option.
According to Facebook's official guidance, it's recommended to implement the Conversions API alongside with Meta Pixel. Our Odoo app implements this behavior by default.
The app provides the extra parameter Event ID to deduplicate events passed via Pixel script and Conversions API.
If you want to deactivate the Meta Pixel script on your website, you need to enable the "Remove FB Pixel script" option.
The following steps will show how to get a Facebook Conversions API access token on the Facebook Events Manager side.
- Open the "Data Sources" section in Facebook Events Manager and generate access token on the "Settings" tab in the "Conversions API" section.
- Then copy this token and paste it to the related field in Odoo.
Enabling Advanced Matching for Facebook Pixel events should be done on both sides, in Facebook Events Manager and in Odoo.
Open the "Data Sources" section in Facebook Events Manager and activate the "Automatic Website Matching" option on the pixel's "Settings" tab. Then, specify what kind of customer information will be shared with Facebook.
Repeat the related settings in Odoo, you can perform it on the "Advanced Matching" tab of the tracking service.
In case when you allow guest checkouts without registering on the portal, it may not be enough data about the visitor for advanced matching.
You can use a customer data from the customer order, that provides more details for advanced matching. Select the "Sale Order Partner" value in this case.
As a website activity of internal users is not tracked and should not be sent to Meta (Facebook), there are several testing tips:
- You will not see any internal tracking logs if you are logged in to Odoo and you have an internal user access rights.
- Log out from the system, or use the incognito mode, or other browser to test tracking of website events.
After completing of the tracking service settings, use another browser to make an order on your Odoo eCommerce.
Go through all checkout steps: from viewing the product list, adding products to cart, initiating a checkout process and finishing the confirmation page.
Switch back to initial browser and open the tracking service logs, you should see appropriated log records for all eCommerce events.
Foremost, get a test code from the Test Events tab in the Facebook Events Manager.
Put this code to the "Test Event Code" field in the tracking service in Odoo.
Than you need to send tracking events by Facebook Conversions API, to do this run a scheduled action "Website Tracking: Facebook CAPI - Send Tracking Events".
