Standard Events

Understand the definition and implementation of standard conversions with AnyTrack. Learn how to optimize your conversion tracking to maximize ROAS.

AnyTrack uses standard naming conventions that align with the industry best practices. This allows you to use a single naming convention and let AnyTrack translate, format, and forward your events and their related properties to your Conversion API integrations.

AnyTrack standard Events

The AnyTrack platform triggers standard events via the AnyTrack JS Tag or via the Server-Side API when the event is triggered by a third-party platform (Affiliate Network, eCommerce platform, Zapier, or an external resource).

If you are using server-side API, read through this guide on Webhooks.
