Conversion Tracking Revenues

Learn how to customize event selection in AnyTrack to aggregate values into revenue metrics. Enhance your campaign reports with accurate data insights. Step-by-step guide and FAQs included

What is Conversion Event Selection?

Conversion event selection allows you to choose which tracked events (like purchases, sign-ups, or product views) should count toward your revenue calculations. Instead of only counting purchases as revenue, you can include other valuable customer actions to get a complete picture of your campaign performance.


Why Use Custom Conversion Events?

This feature provides more accurate insights into your campaign performance and helps optimize your marketing strategies by:

  • Capturing missed revenue: Include valuable actions beyond just purchases
  • Better campaign optimization: See the true impact of your marketing efforts
  • Improved ROI calculations: Account for all revenue-generating activities
❗️

Use with caution

These settings affect the revenues shown in your dashboard and campaign reports:

  • All events continue to be tracked and sent to advertising platforms (like Facebook or Google) regardless of your conversion settings here.
  • Event value only becomes event revenue when you mark the event as a conversion.
  • If you mark AddToCart as a conversion, the cart value will count as revenue.
  • When you send AddToCart to Meta Conversion API, the event value helps with conversion optimization and audience building.

Important Considerations Before Updating

  • Data Transmission: These settings don't affect the data sent to advertising platforms. For example, if Shopify sends a value for a ViewContent event, it will still go to Facebook Conversion API regardless of your AnyTrack conversion settings.
  • Campaign Reports: Your settings will change how data appears in campaign reports. Verify changes by updating settings and refreshing your reports.
  • Property-Level Settings: These settings apply to your entire property. Check with your conversion sources (like Shopify or your website) to understand which events are being sent.
  • Google Analytics: Make similar adjustments in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), as it offers the same event selection options.
  • Facebook and TikTok: No changes needed on these platforms.
  • Custom Events: Any custom events you track in AnyTrack will automatically appear in the event configurations for you to update.

Use Cases

  • Custom conversion events that you want to track as conversions
  • Recurring revenues you want or not to aggregate revenues from
