How to Set Up Tik Tok Pixel URL Events

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome back to the channel! My name is Anthony and I am the Head of Marketing here at Palm Connect. We manage over a hundred thousand dollars a month in ad spend for lead generation in the financial services industry. Today, I'm going to talk to you about how to update your TikTok pixel and enable it to fire for certain events based on URL parameters.

There are a few different ways to fire any pixel, be it the TikTok pixel or a Meta pixel. Today, we'll focus on setting it up so that when a user visits a specific URL, a TikTok pixel event will fire for whatever event we configure it for. We’re diving into the TikTok Ads Manager for this tutorial.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Navigate to Assets:

    • Open the TikTok Ads Manager.
    • Go to the "Assets" section.
    • Click on "Events."

  2. Access Web Events:

    • In the "Events" section, click on "Web Events."
    • You'll see a list of pixels you've created.
    • Click on "Setup Web Events."

  3. Set Up Your Pixel:

    • Name your pixel. For this example, we'll name it "Test TikTok Pixel."
    • Choose "Manually Install Pixel Code."
    • Select "Event Builder."

  4. Install Pixel Code:

    • In the Event Builder, copy the pixel code provided.
    • Paste this code into the head code section of your website.

  5. Configure URL Event Tracking:

    • Enter your website URL in the designated field.
    • Set up event tracking for specific actions. For instance:
      • View Content: If a user visits a specific page, say /home, configure the event to fire when this URL is accessed.
      • Submit Form: If a user submits a form that redirects them to another URL, set up this new URL to fire the "Submit Form" event.
    • Example: Your ad sends users to /home, triggering the "View Content" event. After they fill out a form, they're redirected to /form-submit, triggering the "Submit Form" event.

  6. Optimize for Desired Actions:

    • Define valuable actions you want users to take, such as submitting a form or making a purchase.
    • Ensure your pixel events are configured correctly to track these actions.

By setting up pixel events based on URL parameters, you can effectively track user actions and understand which ad campaigns are performing well.
