Corey Haines f23b665461 feat: add conversion tracking reference to paid-ads skill
Cross-platform pixel setup guide covering Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn,
and TikTok — installation, event configuration, server-side tracking,
and validation. Covers the marketer-level setup that was missing between
the high-level checklists and deep code-level implementation.

claude[bot] db34fa2a21 fix: validate https:// scheme for hooks send webhook URL
The `hooks send` command accepted any user-supplied URL without validation.
This adds an https:// scheme check and a comment clarifying the intended use
(Zapier webhook catch hooks), matching Zapier's own webhook URL format.

Damian Galarza 0d586e4952 fix: quote community-marketing description to valid YAML
The unquoted description contained "Trigger phrases:" which YAML parsed
as a nested mapping, causing the skills CLI to silently drop the skill
during discovery. Wrap the value in double quotes and escape inner
quotes.

# ASO Audit
Analyze App Store and Google Play listings against ASO best practices. Fetches
live listing data, scores metadata, visuals, and ratings, then produces a
prioritized action plan.
## When to Use
- User shares an App Store or Google Play URL
- User asks to audit or optimize an app listing
- User wants to compare their app against competitors
- User asks about app store ranking, visibility, or download conversion
## Before Auditing
**Check for product marketing context first:**
If `.agents/product-marketing-context.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
## Phase 1 — Identify Store & Fetch
### Detect store type from URL
```
Apple: apps.apple.com/{country}/app/{name}/id{digits}
Google: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id={package}
```
If the user gives an app name instead of a URL, search the web for:
`site:apps.apple.com "{app name}"` or `site:play.google.com "{app name}"`
### Fetch the listing
Use WebFetch to retrieve the listing page. Extract every available field:
**Apple App Store fields:**
- App name (title) — 30 char limit
- Subtitle — 30 char limit
- Description (long) — not indexed for search, but matters for conversion
- Promotional text — 170 chars, updatable without new release
- Category (primary + secondary)
- Screenshots (count, order, caption text)
- Preview video (presence, duration)
- Rating (average + count)
- Recent reviews (visible ones)
- Price / in-app purchases
- Developer name
- Last updated date
- Version history notes
- Age rating
- Size
- Languages / localizations listed
- In-app events (if any visible)
**Google Play fields:**
- App name (title) — 30 char limit
- Short description — 80 char limit
- Full description — 4,000 char limit, IS indexed for search
- Category + tags
- Feature graphic (presence)
- Screenshots (count, order)
- Preview video (presence)
- Rating (average + count)
- Recent reviews (visible ones)
- Price / in-app purchases
- Developer name
- Last updated date
- What's new text
- Downloads range
- Content rating
- Data safety section
- Languages listed
If WebFetch returns incomplete data (stores render client-side), note gaps and
work with what's available. Ask the user to paste missing fields if critical.
### Visual asset assessment
WebFetch cannot extract screenshot images or caption text. **Take a screenshot
of the listing page** to get visual data:
1. Navigate to the listing URL and capture a full-page screenshot
2. Assess the screenshot for: icon quality, screenshot count, caption text,
messaging quality, preview video presence, feature graphic (Google Play)
3. If browser tools are unavailable, ask the user to share a screenshot of the
listing page
**Promotional text (Apple):** This 170-char field appears above the description
but is often indistinguishable from it in scraped HTML. If you cannot confirm
its presence, note this and recommend the user check App Store Connect.
---
## Phase 1.5 — Assess Brand Maturity
Before scoring, classify the app into one of three tiers. This determines how
you interpret "textbook ASO" deviations — a deliberate brand choice by a
household name is not the same as a missed opportunity by an unknown app.
### Tier definitions
| Tier | Signals | Examples |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Dominant** | Household name, 1M+ ratings, top-10 in category, near-universal brand recognition. Users search by brand name, not generic keywords. | Instagram, Uber, Spotify, WhatsApp, Netflix |
| **Established** | Well-known in their category, 100K+ ratings, strong organic installs, recognized brand but not universally known. | Strava, Notion, Duolingo, Cash App, Calm |
| **Challenger** | Building awareness, <100K ratings, needs discovery through keywords and ASO tactics. Most apps fall here. | Your app, most indie/startup apps |
### How tier affects scoring
**Dominant apps** get adjusted scoring in these areas:
- **Title:** Brand-only or brand-first titles are valid (score 8+ if brand is the keyword). These apps don't need generic keyword discovery.
- **Description:** Score purely on conversion quality, not keyword presence. If the app is a household name, a well-crafted brand description beats a keyword-stuffed one.
- **Visual Assets:** Lifestyle/brand photography instead of UI demos is a legitimate conversion strategy. No video is acceptable if the product is hard to demo in 30s or brand awareness is near-universal.
- **What's New:** Generic release notes at weekly+ cadence are acceptable (score 8+). At scale, detailed changelogs have minimal ROI and risk backlash.
- **In-app events:** Missing events for utility apps with massive install bases (Uber, WhatsApp) is not a penalty. These apps don't need discovery help.
- **Localization:** Score relative to actual market, not absolute count. A US-only fintech with 2 languages (English + Spanish) is appropriately localized.
**Established apps** get partial adjustment:
- Brand-first titles are fine but should still include 1-2 keywords
- Strategic description choices get benefit of the doubt
- Other dimensions scored normally
**Challenger apps** are scored strictly against textbook ASO best practices — every character, screenshot, and keyword matters.
**Key principle:** Before docking points, ask: "Is this a mistake or a deliberate
choice by a team that has data I don't?" If the app has 1M+ ratings and a
dedicated ASO team, assume their choices are data-informed unless clearly wrong.
---
## Phase 2 — Score Each Dimension
Score each dimension 0-10 using the criteria in `references/scoring-criteria.md`.
Apply the brand maturity tier adjustments from Phase 1.5.
Reference files for platform specs and benchmarks:
- `references/apple-specs.md` — Official Apple character limits, screenshot/video specs, CPP/PPO rules, rejection triggers
- `references/google-play-specs.md` — Official Google Play limits, screenshot specs, Android Vitals thresholds, policies
- `references/benchmarks.md` — Conversion data, rating impact, video lift, screenshot behavior, CPP/event benchmarks
### Dimensions and Weights
| # | Dimension | Weight | What It Covers |
| --- | -------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Title & Subtitle | 20% | Character usage, keyword presence, clarity, brand + keyword balance |
| 2 | Description | 15% | First 3 lines, keyword density (Google), CTA, structure, promotional text |
| 3 | Visual Assets | 25% | Screenshot count/quality/messaging, video, icon, feature graphic |
| 4 | Ratings & Reviews | 20% | Average rating, volume, recency, developer responses |
| 5 | Metadata & Freshness | 10% | Category choice, update recency, localization count, data safety |
| 6 | Conversion Signals | 10% | Price positioning, IAP transparency, social proof, download range |
**Final score** = weighted sum, out of 100.
### Score interpretation
| Score | Grade | Meaning |
| ------ | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| 85-100 | A | Well-optimized; focus on A/B testing and iteration |
| 70-84 | B | Good foundation; clear opportunities to improve |
| 50-69 | C | Significant gaps; prioritized fixes will have high impact |
| 30-49 | D | Major optimization needed across multiple dimensions |
| 0-29 | F | Listing needs a complete overhaul |
---
## Phase 3 — Competitor Comparison (Optional)
If the user provides competitor URLs or asks for comparison:
1. Fetch 2-3 top competitors in the same category
2. Run the same scoring on each
3. Build a comparison table highlighting where the user's app is weaker/stronger
4. Identify keyword gaps — terms competitors rank for that the user's app doesn't target
If no competitors are specified, suggest the user provide 2-3 or offer to search
for top apps in their category.
---
## Phase 4 — Generate Report
Use the template in `references/report-template.md` to structure the output.
The report must include:
1. **Score card** — table with all 6 dimensions, scores, and grade
2. **Top 3 quick wins** — changes that take <1 hour and have highest impact
3. **Detailed findings** — per-dimension breakdown with specific issues and fixes
4. **Keyword suggestions** — based on title/description analysis and competitor gaps
5. **Visual asset recommendations** — specific screenshot/video improvements
6. **Priority action plan** — ordered list of changes by impact vs effort
### Report rules
- Every recommendation must be **specific and actionable** ("Change subtitle from X to Y" not "Improve subtitle")
- Include character counts for all text recommendations
- Flag platform-specific differences (Apple vs Google) when relevant
- Note what CANNOT be assessed without paid tools (search volume, exact rankings)
- When suggesting keyword changes, explain WHY each keyword matters
---
## Platform-Specific Rules
### Apple App Store — Key Facts
- Title (30 chars) + Subtitle (30 chars) + Keyword field (100 **bytes**, hidden) = indexed text
- Keywords field is bytes not chars — Arabic/CJK use 2-3 bytes per char
- Long description is NOT indexed for search — optimize for conversion only
- Promotional text (170 chars) does NOT affect search (Apple confirmed)
- Never repeat words across title/subtitle/keyword field (Apple indexes each word once)
- Keyword field: commas, no spaces ("photo,editor,filter" not "photo, editor, filter")
- Screenshots: up to 10 per device. First 3 visible in search — 90% never scroll past 3rd
- Screenshot captions indexed since June 2025 (AI extraction)
- In-app events: max 10 published at once, max 31 days each. Indexed and appear in search
- Custom Product Pages (up to 70) in organic search since July 2025. +5.9% avg conversion lift
- App preview video: up to 3, 15-30s each. Autoplays muted — +20-40% conversion lift
- SKStoreReviewController: max 3 prompts per 365 days
- Apple has human editorial curation — quality and design matter more
- See `references/apple-specs.md` for full specs, dimensions, and rejection triggers
### Google Play — Key Facts
- Title (30 chars) + Short description (80 chars) + Full description (4,000 chars) = indexed text
- Full description IS indexed — target 2-3% keyword density naturally
- No hidden keyword field — all keywords must be in visible text
- Google NLP/semantic understanding — keyword stuffing detected and penalized
- Prohibited in title: emojis, ALL CAPS, "best"/"#1"/"free", CTAs (enforced since 2021)
- Screenshots: min 2, **max 8** per device (not 10 like Apple)
- Feature graphic (1024x500, exact) required for featured placements
- Video does NOT autoplay — only ~6% of users tap play (low ROI vs iOS)
- Android Vitals directly affect ranking: crash >1.09% or ANR >0.47% = reduced visibility
- Promotional Content: submit 14 days early for featuring. Apps see 2x explore acquisitions
- Custom Store Listings: up to 50 (can target churned users, specific countries, ad campaigns)
- Store Listing Experiments: test up to 3 variants, run 7+ days, 1 experiment at a time
- See `references/google-play-specs.md` for full specs and policy details
### What Apple Indexes vs What Google Indexes
| Field | Apple Indexed? | Google Indexed? |
| --------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------- |
| Title | Yes | Yes (strongest signal) |
| Subtitle / Short desc | Yes | Yes |
| Keyword field | Yes (hidden) | Does not exist |
| Long description | No | Yes (heavily) |
| Screenshot captions | Yes (since 2025) | No |
| In-app events | Yes | N/A (LiveOps instead) |
| Developer name | No | Partial |
| IAP names | Yes | Yes |

## Common Issues Checklist
Flag these if found. Items marked _(tier-dependent)_ should be evaluated against
the app's brand maturity tier — they may be deliberate choices for Dominant apps.
**Always flag (all tiers):**
- [ ] Rating below 4.0
- [ ] Last update > 3 months ago
- [ ] Google Play description has no keyword strategy (under 1% density)
- [ ] Google Play missing feature graphic
- [ ] Apple keyword field likely has repeated words (inferred from title+subtitle)
- [ ] Category mismatch — app would face less competition in a different category
- [ ] Fewer than 5 screenshots
**Flag for Challenger/Established only** _(not mistakes for Dominant apps):_
- [ ] Title wastes characters on brand name only (no keywords) _(Dominant: brand IS the keyword)_
- [ ] Subtitle/short description duplicates title keywords
- [ ] Description first 3 lines are generic _(Dominant: may be brand-voice choice)_
- [ ] No preview video _(Dominant: may be rational if product is hard to demo)_
- [ ] Screenshots are just UI dumps with no messaging/captions _(Dominant: lifestyle/brand shots may convert better)_
- [ ] Only 1-2 localizations _(score relative to actual market, not absolute count)_
- [ ] No in-app events or promotional content _(Dominant utility apps may not need discovery help)_
**Flag for all tiers but note context:**
- [ ] No developer responses to negative reviews _(note volume — responding at 10M+ reviews is a different challenge than at 1K)_
- [ ] Generic "What's New" text _(acceptable at weekly+ release cadence for Established/Dominant)_
---
## Task-Specific Questions
1. What is the App Store or Google Play URL?
2. Is this your app or a competitor's?
3. What category does the app compete in?
4. Do you have competitor URLs to compare against?
5. Are you focused on search visibility, conversion rate, or both?
6. Do you have access to App Store Connect or Google Play Console data?

1. **Metadata relevance** — Title carries most weight. NLP scans title + short desc + full desc.
2. **App quality** — Android Vitals (crash/ANR rates)
3. **Ratings and reviews** — Star rating + review text. 85% of featured apps have 4.0+
4. **Install volume and velocity** — Total installs + daily/weekly frequency
5. **Engagement and retention** — Session frequency, duration, retention rates
6. **Update frequency** — Regular updates signal active maintenance
7. **Localization** — Regional keyword/visual adaptation. 59% of US apps localize titles.

**Apply brand maturity tier adjustments** from Phase 1.5 of the main skill.
---
## Brand Maturity Adjustments (apply to all dimensions)
Before scoring, determine the app's tier: **Dominant**, **Established**, or **Challenger**.
**Dominant apps (Instagram, Uber, Spotify, WhatsApp, Netflix):**
- Brand-only titles score 8+ (the brand IS the keyword)
- Lifestyle/brand screenshots score same as captioned UI screenshots
- Generic What's New at weekly+ cadence scores 8+
- Missing in-app events for utility apps is not a penalty
- Description scored on conversion quality only, not keyword presence
- Localization scored relative to actual market footprint
- Missing preview video is acceptable if brand awareness is near-universal
**Established apps (Duolingo, Strava, Notion, Calm, Cash App):**
- Brand-first titles with 1-2 keywords score normally
- Strategic description/visual choices get benefit of the doubt
- All other dimensions scored normally
**Challenger apps (most apps):**
- Scored strictly against textbook ASO — every character and feature matters
**Key principle:** Before docking points, ask: "Is this a mistake or a data-informed
choice by a team with more information than I have?"
---
## 1. Title & Subtitle (Weight: 20%)
**Challenger rubric:**
| Score | Criteria |
| ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 9-10 | Brand + high-value keyword in title, complementary keywords in subtitle, no word repetition across fields, near max character usage, instantly communicates app purpose |
| 7-8 | Good keyword presence, minor character waste (5+ unused chars), clear purpose |
| 5-6 | Has keywords but poor placement, some repetition between fields, purpose somewhat clear |
| 3-4 | Title is brand-only or generic, subtitle missing or weak, poor character usage |
| 1-2 | No keyword strategy, title doesn't communicate purpose, major character waste |
| 0 | Cannot assess (data unavailable) |
**Dominant/Established adjustment:** Brand-only titles (e.g., "Instagram") are
valid if the brand has high search volume. Score 8+ for Dominant apps where
brand recognition eliminates the need for generic keywords. Evaluate whether
unused characters represent waste or intentional simplicity.
**Check for:**
- Characters used vs limit (title: 30, subtitle/short desc: 30/80). "Near max" = within 3 chars of the limit (27+/30, 77+/80)
- Primary keyword in title
- Keyword duplication between title and subtitle
- Whether app purpose is immediately clear
- Unnecessary words (articles, prepositions) consuming space
- Special characters or claims ("#1", "best") that risk rejection (Apple)

## Calculating Final Score
```
Final Score = (Title * 0.20) + (Description * 0.15) + (Visuals * 0.25)
+ (Ratings * 0.20) + (Metadata * 0.10) + (Conversion * 0.10)
Scale to 100: Final Score * 10
```
**Example:** Title: 7, Description: 6, Visuals: 8, Ratings: 9, Metadata: 5, Conversion: 7
```
(7 * 0.20) + (6 * 0.15) + (8 * 0.25) + (9 * 0.20) + (5 * 0.10) + (7 * 0.10)
= 1.4 + 0.9 + 2.0 + 1.8 + 0.5 + 0.7
= 7.3 → 73/100 → Grade: B

# Conversion Tracking Setup
How to set up conversion tracking pixels across ad platforms. This guide covers installation, event configuration, and validation — everything a marketer needs to ensure ad spend is properly attributed.
---
## Why This Matters
Without conversion tracking:
- Ad platforms can't optimize for your actual goals
- You're flying blind on ROAS and CPA
- Retargeting audiences can't be built
- You'll waste budget on impressions that don't convert
Get tracking right before spending a dollar on ads.
---
## Platform Pixels Overview
| Platform | Pixel/Tag Name | Events API | Key Events |
|----------|---------------|:----------:|------------|
| **Google Ads** | Google tag (gtag.js) | Enhanced Conversions | purchase, sign_up, generate_lead |
| **Meta** | Meta Pixel + CAPI | Conversions API | Purchase, Lead, ViewContent, AddToCart |
| **LinkedIn** | Insight Tag | Conversions API | conversion (URL or event-based) |
| **TikTok** | TikTok Pixel | Events API | Purchase, ViewContent, AddToCart, CompleteRegistration |
| **Twitter/X** | Twitter Pixel | - | Purchase, SignUp, Download |
---
## Google Ads
### Install the Google tag
Add to every page, in `<head>`:
```html
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-XXXXXXXXX"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'AW-XXXXXXXXX');
</script>
```
Replace `AW-XXXXXXXXX` with your Conversion ID from Google Ads > Tools > Conversions.
### Set up conversion actions
In Google Ads > Goals > Conversions > New conversion action:
| Conversion | Category | Value | Count |
|-----------|----------|-------|-------|
| Purchase | Purchase | Dynamic (order value) | Every |
| Sign up / Lead | Sign-up | Fixed ($X estimated value) | One |
| Demo request | Lead | Fixed ($X estimated value) | One |
| Free trial start | Sign-up | Fixed ($X estimated value) | One |
### Fire conversion events
```javascript
// Purchase
gtag('event', 'conversion', {
'send_to': 'AW-XXXXXXXXX/CONVERSION_LABEL',
'value': 99.00,
'currency': 'USD',
'transaction_id': 'ORDER-123'
});
// Lead / Sign up
gtag('event', 'conversion', {
'send_to': 'AW-XXXXXXXXX/CONVERSION_LABEL',
'value': 50.00,
'currency': 'USD'
});
```
### Enhanced Conversions
Sends hashed first-party data (email, phone) to improve attribution after cookie restrictions. Enable in Google Ads > Goals > Settings > Enhanced conversions.
```javascript
gtag('set', 'user_data', {
'email': 'user@example.com', // auto-hashed by gtag
'phone_number': '+11234567890'
});
```
### Google Tag Manager alternative
If using GTM instead of inline gtag.js:
1. Install GTM container on all pages
2. Create Google Ads conversion tags in GTM
3. Set triggers for conversion events (form submissions, purchases)
4. Use the Data Layer to pass dynamic values (order amount, transaction ID)
5. Test with GTM Preview mode before publishing
---
## Meta (Facebook/Instagram)
### Install the Meta Pixel
Add to every page, in `<head>`:
```html
<script>
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';
n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',
'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');
fbq('init', 'YOUR_PIXEL_ID');
fbq('track', 'PageView');
</script>
```
Replace `YOUR_PIXEL_ID` from Meta Events Manager.
### Standard events
```javascript
// View a product or key page
fbq('track', 'ViewContent', {
content_name: 'Pro Plan',
content_category: 'Pricing',
value: 29.00,
currency: 'USD'
});
// Lead capture (form submit, demo request)
fbq('track', 'Lead', {
content_name: 'Demo Request',
value: 50.00,
currency: 'USD'
});
// Purchase
fbq('track', 'Purchase', {
value: 99.00,
currency: 'USD',
content_type: 'product',
contents: [{ id: 'pro-plan', quantity: 1 }]
});
// Add to cart (e-commerce)
fbq('track', 'AddToCart', {
content_ids: ['SKU-123'],
content_type: 'product',
value: 49.00,
currency: 'USD'
});
```
### Conversions API (CAPI)
Server-side tracking that works alongside the pixel. Required for accurate tracking after iOS 14+ and cookie restrictions.
Set up via:
- **Direct integration** — send events from your server to Meta's API
- **Partner integrations** — Shopify, WooCommerce, Segment, etc. have built-in CAPI support
- **Conversions API Gateway** — Meta's managed solution via AWS
Key: send the same events from both pixel (browser) AND CAPI (server), with a shared `event_id` for deduplication.
### Aggregated Event Measurement
Required for iOS 14+ tracking. In Events Manager > Aggregated Event Measurement:
1. Verify your domain
2. Configure and prioritize your top 8 events in order of business importance
3. Purchase should typically be #1, Lead #2
---
## LinkedIn
### Install the Insight Tag
Add to every page, before `</body>`:
```html
<script type="text/javascript">
_linkedin_partner_id = "YOUR_PARTNER_ID";
window._linkedin_data_partner_ids = window._linkedin_data_partner_ids || [];
window._linkedin_data_partner_ids.push(_linkedin_partner_id);
(function(l) {
if (!l){window.lintrk = function(a,b){window.lintrk.q.push([a,b])};
window.lintrk.q=[]}
var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
var b = document.createElement("script");
b.type = "text/javascript";b.async = true;
b.src = "https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js";
s.parentNode.insertBefore(b, s);})(window.lintrk);
</script>
```
### Conversion tracking
LinkedIn supports two methods:
**URL-based**: Fires when someone visits a specific URL (e.g., `/thank-you`).
Set up in Campaign Manager > Analyze > Conversion Tracking > Create Conversion.
**Event-based**: Fire manually on specific actions:
```javascript
window.lintrk('track', { conversion_id: YOUR_CONVERSION_ID });
```
### LinkedIn CAPI
For server-side tracking, LinkedIn offers a Conversions API. Set up via partner integrations (Segment, Tealium) or direct API calls. Deduplicates with the Insight Tag automatically when configured correctly.
---
## TikTok
### Install the TikTok Pixel
Add to every page, in `<head>`:
```html
<script>
!function (w, d, t) {
w.TiktokAnalyticsObject=t;var ttq=w[t]=w[t]||[];
ttq.methods=["page","track","identify","instances","debug","on","off",
"once","ready","alias","group","enableCookie","disableCookie","holdConsent",
"revokeConsent","grantConsent"],ttq.setAndDefer=function(t,e)
{t[e]=function(){t.push([e].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,0)))}};
for(var i=0;i<ttq.methods.length;i++)ttq.setAndDefer(ttq,ttq.methods[i]);
ttq.instance=function(t){for(var e=ttq._i[t]||[],n=0;
n<ttq.methods.length;n++)ttq.setAndDefer(e,ttq.methods[n]);return e};
ttq.load=function(e,n){var r="https://analytics.tiktok.com/i18n/pixel/events.js",
o=n&&n.partner;ttq._i=ttq._i||{},ttq._i[e]=[],ttq._i[e]._u=r,
ttq._t=ttq._t||{},ttq._t[e]=+new Date,ttq._o=ttq._o||{},
ttq._o[e]=n||{};var s=document.createElement("script");
s.type="text/javascript",s.async=!0,s.src=r+"?sdkid="+e+"&lib="+t;
var a=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
a.parentNode.insertBefore(s,a)};
ttq.load('YOUR_PIXEL_ID');
ttq.page();
}(window, document, 'ttq');
</script>
```
### Standard events
```javascript
// View content
ttq.track('ViewContent', {
content_id: 'pro-plan',
content_type: 'product',
content_name: 'Pro Plan',
value: 29.00,
currency: 'USD'
});
// Complete registration / sign up
ttq.track('CompleteRegistration', {
content_name: 'Free Trial'
});
// Purchase
ttq.track('Purchase', {
content_id: 'pro-plan',
content_type: 'product',
value: 99.00,
currency: 'USD',
quantity: 1
});
// Add to cart
ttq.track('AddToCart', {
content_id: 'SKU-123',
content_type: 'product',
value: 49.00,
currency: 'USD'
});
```
### Events API (server-side)
TikTok's Events API works like Meta's CAPI — send the same events from your server for better attribution. Use `event_id` for deduplication with browser pixel events.
### Advanced Matching
Pass hashed user data for better attribution:
```javascript
ttq.identify({
email: 'user@example.com', // auto-hashed
phone_number: '+11234567890'
});
```
---
## Validation Checklist
After installing any pixel, verify before going live:
### Browser-side checks
- [ ] Pixel fires on every page (check via browser extension)
- [ ] Conversion events fire at the right moment (after confirmed action, not on button click)
- [ ] Event parameters contain correct values (currency, amount, content IDs)
- [ ] No duplicate events firing on the same action
- [ ] Events fire on both desktop and mobile
### Platform-side checks
- [ ] Events appear in the platform's event manager/diagnostics
- [ ] Test conversions show correct values
- [ ] Event match quality is acceptable (Meta: score > 6)
- [ ] Server-side events are deduplicating with browser events (not double-counting)
### Debugging tools
| Platform | Tool |
|----------|------|
| Google | Google Tag Assistant, Chrome DevTools Network tab |
| Meta | Meta Pixel Helper (Chrome extension), Events Manager Test Events |
| LinkedIn | Insight Tag Validator in Campaign Manager |
| TikTok | TikTok Pixel Helper (Chrome extension), Events Manager |
| All | GTM Preview Mode (if using Google Tag Manager) |
---
## Common Mistakes
- **Firing purchase events on button click instead of confirmed payment** — always fire on the success/thank-you page or after server confirmation
- **Missing deduplication between pixel and server events** — without a shared `event_id`, you'll double-count conversions
- **Not testing on mobile** — many pixels break on mobile browsers or in-app webviews
- **Hardcoded test values** — remove test transaction amounts before going live
- **Forgetting to exclude internal traffic** — your team's visits inflate conversion data
- **Installing pixels without consent management** — GDPR/CCPA require user consent before firing tracking pixels in applicable regions
- **Pixel installed but no conversion actions created** — the pixel collects data, but the ad platform won't optimize without defined conversion actions
---
## When to Use Server-Side Tracking
Browser-only tracking is increasingly unreliable due to:
- iOS 14+ App Tracking Transparency
- Third-party cookie deprecation
- Ad blockers (30%+ of tech audiences)
**Use server-side (CAPI/Events API) when:**
- Running Meta or TikTok ads (strongly recommended)
- Your audience is tech-savvy (higher ad blocker usage)
- You need accurate purchase/revenue attribution
- You're spending >$5K/month on any platform
**Server-side is optional when:**
- Running Google Ads only (Enhanced Conversions covers most gaps)
- Low ad spend / testing phase
- B2B with LinkedIn only (Insight Tag is still reliable)

- **Header**: `X-API-Key: {api_key}`
- **Get key**: Settings > API in Zapier account
## Common Agent Operations
### SDK Authentication
**Browser-based login (development):**
```bash
npx zapier-sdk login
```
**Server-side (production):**
- Client Credentials — store as environment variables
- Direct token — set `ZAPIER_CREDENTIALS` env var
Browser-based login only works locally. Use Client Credentials for any server-side deployment.
## SDK Quick Start
### Install
```bash
npm install @zapier/zapier-sdk
npm install -D @zapier/zapier-sdk-cli @types/node typescript
npm pkg set type=module
```
### Initialize
```typescript
import { createZapierSdk } from "@zapier/zapier-sdk";
const zapier = createZapierSdk();
```
### CLI Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `npx zapier-sdk login` | Authenticate (dev only) |
| `npx zapier-sdk list-apps --search "query"` | Search available apps |
| `npx zapier-sdk list-actions APP_KEY` | List actions for an app |
| `npx zapier-sdk add [app-key]` | Generate TypeScript types |
### SDK Methods
| Method | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `zapier.listConnections()` | List authenticated app connections |
| `zapier.findFirstConnection()` | Find a specific connection |
| `zapier.runAction()` | Execute an action on a connected app |
| `zapier.apps.slack()` | App proxy pattern for clean syntax |
| `zapier.fetch()` | Custom authenticated API calls |
### Example: Send a Slack Message
```typescript
import { createZapierSdk } from "@zapier/zapier-sdk";
const zapier = createZapierSdk();
const slack = await zapier.apps.slack();
await slack.sendChannelMessage({
channel: "#marketing",
message: "Campaign launched!"
});
```
### Example: Create a HubSpot Contact
```typescript
const hubspot = await zapier.apps.hubspot();
await hubspot.createContact({
email: "lead@example.com",
firstName: "Jane",
lastName: "Doe"
});
```
### Pagination
Use `.items()` for large datasets:
```typescript
const contacts = await hubspot.listContacts({ maxItems: 100 });
for await (const contact of contacts.items()) {
console.log(contact.email);
}
```
### Governance Note
Direct API calls via `zapier.fetch()` are not subject to org app/action restriction policies. Use pre-built actions where possible if your org has governance requirements.

## Common Marketing Automations
### Lead capture to CRM
```
Typeform → Zapier → HubSpot
### With SDK (recommended for agents)
```typescript
// Lead capture to CRM
const hubspot = await zapier.apps.hubspot();
await hubspot.createContact({ email, firstName, lastName });
// New customer notification
const slack = await zapier.apps.slack();
await slack.sendChannelMessage({ channel: "#revenue", message: `New customer: ${email}` });
// Add to email sequence
const customerio = await zapier.apps.customerio();
await customerio.createOrUpdatePerson({ email, plan: "pro" });
```
### New customer notifications
```
Stripe (new customer) → Zapier → Slack
```
### With Zaps (no-code)
### Email sequence triggers
```
Form submission → Zapier → Customer.io
```
### Social proof automation
```
New review → Zapier → Twitter/Slack
```
### Referral tracking
```
New referral → Zapier → Spreadsheet + Slack
```
- Typeform → Zapier → HubSpot (lead capture)
- Stripe → Zapier → Slack (new customer alerts)
- Form submission → Zapier → Customer.io (email sequences)
- New review → Zapier → Slack (social proof)
- New referral → Zapier → Spreadsheet + Slack (referral tracking)
