The New (and Slightly Confusing) Facebook Pixel Creation Process
You may have noticed that the "Add" button under the Pixel Tab in Facebook Business Manager is now grayed out.
❓ Can you still track and improve your Facebook Ads using event data? Absolutely! Facebook hasn't removed this important feature. If they did, it would seriously affect their advertising business.
What's New? 👀
Pixels have become datasets
Think of a Pixel ID as a container for your website data.
💡 Now, this container is part of a bigger system called a dataset. A dataset can hold information from websites, mobile apps, in-store purchases, and messaging.
What does this mean for you? Your Pixel ID is now the same as your Dataset ID, and it covers data from all these sources.
