CAPI Check (server-to-server) - Sending Test Events

Step 1: Obtaining Test Event Code

  1. Go to Facebook Events Manager

  2. Open your pixel → Test Events

  3. Click Test Server Events

  4. Copy the Test Event Code (for example: TEST12345)

Step 2: Running the Test in the Tracker

  1. In the pixel list, open the action menu (⋮) for the desired pixel

  2. Select Test

  3. In the opened dialog:

    • Pixel ID — displayed automatically (view only)

    • Pixel Access Token — displayed automatically (view only)

    • Facebook Test Event Code — paste the copied code

    • Events to test — select events for testing (multiple selections allowed)

  4. Click Run Test

Step 3: Checking Results

After sending test events:

In the Tracker:

  • The result for each event will be displayed

  • ✅ OK — event successfully sent

  • ❌ Failed — sending error (an error message will be shown)

In Facebook Events Manager:

  1. Refresh the Test Events page

  2. You should see the sent events labeled "Server" and Test Event Code

  3. Check that all parameters (IP, User Agent, FBC, Custom Data) are transmitted correctly

What to Check During Testing:

  1. ✅ Events reach Facebook

  2. ✅ The event_name parameter matches the expected value

  3. ✅ User Data is transmitted correctly (IP, User Agent, FBC)

  4. ✅ Custom Data contains the correct values (currency, value)

  5. ✅ event_time corresponds to the current time

IMPORTANT: Test events do not affect ad optimization! They are used only for configuration verification.
