Create Meta Event Tags
The Meta Event Tag is essential for tracking specific actions on your website, such as page views, purchases, or custom events. This tag connects your website’s data to the Meta platform through your Meta Pixel ID, enabling accurate event reporting and data collection.
To set up the Meta Event Tag, you need to define the event type you want to track. Standard events, such as PageView or AddToCart, are predefined and can be selected from a list. For unique actions, you can create custom events by manually specifying the event name.
Advanced settings, like the Event ID, can be added for additional control and to prevent duplicate events.
Proper configuration of the Meta Event Tag ensures that it activates at the right time and captures the necessary data. In this document, you will learn the steps to create and configure the Meta Event Tag effectively.

Let’s get started 🚀
Before setting up Meta Event Tags, you first need to add the required template to your Google Tag Manager workspace. This template provides the necessary framework for implementing specific tags, such as the Facebook Pixel. When adding the template, ensure that you carefully review the permissions before adding it.
In the demonstration below, you’ll see how to add the template to your workspace.
Once the template is added, the next step is to create a Meta Pixel ID variable. This variable stores your unique Pixel ID, which is essential for tracking and event reporting. Setting this up ensures you don’t need to manually enter the Pixel ID every time you create a tag.
After creating the Meta Pixel ID variable, proceed to create a Meta Event Tag. This tag tracks specific events like PageViews, Purchases, or Custom Events on your website. Configuring the tag correctly ensures it is linked to your Meta Pixel ID for accurate event tracking.
Set up the Meta Event Tag by specifying key details such as the event name and advanced options like the Event ID. For standard events, choose from the predefined options, and for custom events, enter the name manually. Make sure all fields are completed accurately to ensure the tag functions correctly.
Triggers determine when a tag will fire based on specific actions or conditions. They can be configured to activate on all pages, during specific events, or at key moments during the page load process to ensure accurate tracking and data collection.
In the demonstration below, you’ll see how to configure triggers for the Meta Event Tag.
