HowtoSetUpEventsandParameterswithEventsBuilder
You can set up web events using custom code Pixel and Events API. If you need an alternative solution that doesn't require heavy technical resources, you can use our Event builder tool for event setup after you create and add the TikTok Pixel base code to your website.
Before you set up an event with Event Builder
Ensure that all of your webpages have the TikTok Pixel base code installed.
Make sure you have edit permissions for the pixel.
If Content Security Policy is enabled on your website, see developer documentation for additional setup recommendations
How to set up Events and Parameters with Event Builder
Once you've added the TikTok Pixel to your site:
In Select Setup Method, choose Event Builder.
Enter your business URL and click Launch Event Builder. The event builder will launch on your website in a new tab.
Click Add event
Select whether you want to add events via button clicks or URL keywords.
Button Clicks: Measure when a specific button or element is clicked. The event builder highlights clickable buttons and elements, such as add to cart button, search field, etc. Click the button or element you would like to measure or optimize
URL Visits: Measure when a URL with specified keyword is visited. For instance, when a user reaches a page with "/product" in the URL, you can set up the event as "ViewContent" to measure and optimize all visits to URLs with "/product" keyword. This method helps track actions on pages with consistent URL keywords, like product detail pages, order confirmation page, or thank you page after a purchase
