How to set up events and parameters with Event Builder

Once you've added the TikTok Pixel to your website:

  1. In Select Setup Method, choose Event Builder.

  2. Enter your business URL.

  3. Click Launch Event Builder. This will launch on your website in a new tab.

  4. Click Add Event.

  5. Select Button Clicks or URL Visits for how you would like to add events:

    • Button Clicks: Measure when a specific button or element is clicked.

    • URL Visits: Measure when a URL with a specified keyword is visited. This method helps track actions on pages with consistent URL keywords, like product detail pages, order confirmation pages, or a thank you page after a purchase.


Encountering issues with Event Builder Tool set up

You may encounter issues like events not firing, delayed data, or missing parameters. Specifically,

  • Pixel base code missing or placed incorrectly.

  • Parameters missing from events.

  • Mismatched Content ID not aligning with catalog.

  • CSP restrictions blocking the pixel.

We recommend using the Pixel Helper Chrome extension to verify pixel firing and event data or visiting web diagnostics for detailed guides.
