Connect HubSpot and Facebook Conversions API
Why do HubSpot and Meta/Facebook Need to Be Connected?
HubSpot is a popular CRM, marketing, sales, and service platform. Facebook/Meta is one of the most widely used platforms for advertising, which businesses use to grow their audience and further develop their brand through Facebook pages or ads. Without a Facebook (Meta) Conversions API integration, customers who first interact with a brand on Facebook often may not be recognized when they convert in HubSpot. Both platforms keep a rich set of data, but without integration, such as from Able CDP, a significant percentage of the lead conversions will not be shown in reports as being attributed to Facebook (Meta) campaigns.
Here are some reasons why conversion tracking built into Facebook Pixel (Meta Pixel) and Hubspot CAPI integration are not enough for HubSpot:
- HubSpot purchases are made after the initial visit, essentially offline, and tracking cookies set by Facebook (Meta) Pixel on ad click may no longer be available.
- Sending CRM data to Facebook (Meta) CAPI isn't sufficient to correctly attribute conversion. Including the identifier assigned by Facebook to a user and customer match parameters, helps solve conversion reporting problems by sending more data, allowing Facebook to correctly attribute most of the conversions, including leads from IOS devices with limited tracking attribution.
- These missing conversions from Facebook (Meta) campaigns that go unreported are caused by missing data, which occurs when there is no help from an integration platform such as Able CDP that ensures all HubSpot conversion data is properly attributed in Facebook.
Able CDP's superior tracking speed and reliability ensures that no conversions are lost. It records the exact Facebook click identifiers on each landing page visit, making sure they're sent to Conversions API when a conversion happens in HubSpot later, eliminating the risk of misattributed conversions.
Combining browser and server-side tracking to report conversions via the server-to-server Facebook Conversions API integration solves these problems. Attributing server-side conversions to the original click id and sending them together with customer details via Able CDP's server-to-server Facebook Conversion API integration is required to report all of them accurately.
