Connection Type:

Client-side


Installation Instructions

This is a client-side-only connection, meaning that you will need to be tracking all events client-side (including Placed Order) for this connection to work properly.

1. Set up the Converge Connection

  1. Navigate to your Twitter Ads account and choose Tools > Events Manager.

  2. Copy your Twitter Pixel ID

    1. If you already have an events source, at the top of the page, find the ‘Twitter pixel’ section and copy the ID. (e.g. obarl)
    2. If not, you will be prompted to create a new event source, follow the instructions and copy the ID when you are done.
  3. In the Converge dashboard, under Connections, click

    Create New Connection
    and fill in your Pixel ID.

  4. See below for instructions on how to configure your conversion events.

2. Create your conversion events

  1. In the Twitter Ads > Tools > Events Manager, click on the Create Event button.
  2. Give your event a name, e.g. ‘Placed Order’ when you are setting up a purchase conversion.
  3. Pick a Twitter event type, e.g. ‘Purchase’. You can find a suggested mapping of Converge to Twitter Ads event types below.
  4. Configure your attribution settings and click on Next.
  5. Choose the ‘Define event with code’ setup method and click on Next.
  6. Click ‘Save’ to finish the setup.
  7. You can now find the event in the Events table in the Twitter Ads Events manager. Under the event, the ID is composed as tw-{pixelID}-{eventID}. Copy the eventID into the ‘Twitter Event IDs’ section of the Converge connection configuration.
Repeat the steps above for all the events you want to report on in Twitter Ads
Once you have installed your Converge Connection, you should pause or remove all existing Twitter Ads tracking. Leaving these on will lead to duplicate tracking.
