Flight Ads - Events

Flight Ads uses four events. Every event has a set of parameters, see event parameter details. Use the Facebook Pixel on your website, and mobile app events in your Android app and iOS app.

EventWhen to FireCode Sample

Search

On the flight search results page

Pixel, Android, iOS

ViewContent

When the user has selected the flight(s)

Pixel, Android, iOS

InitiateCheckout

When the user enters the payment screen

Pixel, Android, iOS

Purchase

Meta Pixel for Websites

This guide assumes you already have a Meta Pixel installed. If not, see Using Marketing API with the Meta Pixel.

Make sure the pixel base code is already loaded when you fire an event. If you use a tag manager, make sure you include the tag that contains the pixel code on every page. The tag should appear before the tag that contains the pixel event code. Use the Meta Pixel Helper to validate your pixel implementation.
