FAQ and Troubleshooting

Common questions and troubleshooting steps for AnyTrack integration and tracking issues.

  • Why is the integration Event log shows errors?

    Refer to the conversion troubleshooting guide to resolve any issues with your conversions.

  • How long does it take to see conversions in the Facebook Event Manager?

    Although AnyTrack sends conversions in real time, it may take approximately 15-20 minutes for Facebook to display them in your Event Manager.

  • Conversions are not reported under the correct campaigns

    AnyTrack reports conversions based on Last Click and with an unlimited attribution window, while Ad Platforms have their own attribution models and windows. They do not provide an API endpoint that allows attribution of conversions to specific ads, ad sets, or campaigns.

  • AnyTrack Dashboard doesn't show data.

    Check the Campaign Reports for real-time data. Dashboard initial sync can take a few hours.

  • Not tracking the correct conversion names

    Check that your Event Mapping is accurate and adjust it accordingly.

  • I get warning about duplicate conversions in Facebook Event Manager

    Check that you've disabled any other system sending conversion data to Facebook. AnyTrack sends only server-side events. If you see browser events, it means another system is sending data.

  • Why do I see a Low match rate in the Facebook Event Manager?

    The match rate depends on the conversion data you receive from your integrations. For example, if you're getting conversions from Shopify, your match rate will be high since we collect product and customer data and forward them to your Facebook Conversion API.

    If you're an affiliate marketer, your match rate will never be "great" since you don't have access to customer personal data.

    Note, however, that the match rate is only an indication of the quality of the data you send, but it does not prevent attribution from being accurate.

  • Campaign metrics are not accurate

    Ad campaign metrics are imported on an hourly basis, so AnyTrack metrics may show some discrepancies with your ad accounts.

    AnyTrack-collected data (sessions, new visitors, and conversion events) are reported in "near real time". The Campaign Reports are built using UTM Parameters collected when visitors hit your website. If your reports are misaligned, check that all your ads carry the recommended UTM Tracking template.
