The Best Way to Set up The Facebook Conversions API Yet! (Fast, Easy, No Coding, But Costs $$$)

WARNING: This setup does come with a cost due to the fact you're using an AWS server to send CAPI events. So you will get a bill from AWS every month after setting it up - many people are seeing $70+ USD per month bills from AWS. It's a very easy, effective CAPI setup, but just a heads-up re. cost :)

Until now, setting up the Facebook conversions API has been quite difficult. There are lots of options, each requiring technical skills to set up, or having some pretty significant downfalls if if they don't (e.g. Zapier).

That all changed with the latest option from Facebook called the Facebook Conversions API Gateway.

In this video you'll learn how to set up the Facebook Conversions API using Facebook Conversions API Gateway.

The Facebook Conversions API Gateway is a new way to set up CAPI that's easy, fast, and offers all of the important features including event deduplication.

You don't need to hire a developer or touch a single piece of code to set this up. It's my new favorite way to set up the Conversions API.

This is the guy I would buy a course from. Short video, straight to the point and doesn't leave you more confused than you were before watching the video. Thanks for sharing Andrew 👍🏻

Best video I've watched and I've watched plenty.

I normally hate, despise, and loathe learning from videos. They're usually too slow and full of gibberish. You are perfect. No nonsense, clear, and to the point. You left no stone unturned and the editing was exceptional. I am now huge fan and will be following.

[crownextensionstudio]

I cannot tell you how long I struggled with getting this done and eventually started procrastinating on doing it. I watched your video and it's DONE I can't tell you how good it feels thank you!!!

[IceveinsProductions]

Worked perfectly thanks. Why does the Australian accent feel like the most reliable and trustworthy of all English accents?? 🤣

[CocaineRoom]

Thank u so much!!! It done. And all blessings to you!

[mattfisher]

You deserve Australian of the year award for this video Andrew! many thanks! Have subscribed. Cheers.

Thank you! Do you have a a video that shows setting up CAPI via Google Cloud Platform? Can it be done without knowing how to code?

[oliverk]

Awesome Video, ty. Quick question: can this be set up with the HubSpot CRM so we can feed back into fb the stage each lead/prospect is at in the CRM?

Good day, brother. I want to express my gratitude for creating this video. Your video has now spared me from spending a lot of time learning how to build an app using Xcode, Github, and CocoaPods. My entire week was a complete waste. lots of love from India.
Keep up the good work, and more blessings will come your way.

Thanks for this video, I followed all the steps and everything works correctly. I just have one question, before using amazon for facebook API I used the official facebook plugin on wordpress. Do I have to do anything in particular? There are no problems to have two types of conversion API? Thanks for your answer.

Hello Andrew, I have been following your tutorial but I am having an issue in the step at 06:30. When I click the link inside my AWS account, it shows "404 Not Found" error. My DNS has been successfully configurated. What could be happening?

[aludecor]

2:41 Enter a domain and sub-domain part is missing when tried to implement the same. And, now inside the console it's asking to optimize the DNS setting and unable to complete the step at it is throwing error every time!!

[ankitsinghrautela]

You are awesome, love you dude.
But I have a question, while accessing [ connect your conversion API gateway in event ] what if our business doesn't have any subdomain. Actually, this is the only doubt I'm stuck with.

[Alice-eqty]

Hi Andrew. Thanks for the video tutorial, I know it's 2023, but this video still provides great help!
I have a question for you. When I open the gateway, no subdomain appears.
Do I need to add it manually? How do I do it? Thank you so Looking forward to your reply!

[conversationtoolkit]

OMG Great video - so helpful. A question, if I have 4 products (ebook, mini course, course, , coaching) how would you recommend i set up purchase events to reflect the different value of each one? Can I just set up as 4 separate custom evetns/conversions? Or set up purchase with dynamic value?

[mathildabondeby]

Hi Andrew! :) Do you recommend Gateway instead of GTM server side tracking? Thanks for a great video!

[girldirectorTV]

Great video, Andrew. Thank you! Does this work with an Amazon S3 account?

[sundaymorningguy]

Hey mate thanks for the tutorial, would like to clarify if this would work if my domain is built with Squarespace?
