Track events

Track Lead

Fire Lead when a visitor submits a form — contact form, demo request, newsletter signup. AdsPing forwards it to Meta’s Conversions API with every match field it can attach.

Quick start

One call, anywhere after pb.js is loaded. All fields are optional — this alone is a working Lead event:

lead-minimal.js
adsping('track', 'Lead', {
  email: '[email protected]',
  phone: '+1 415 555 1234'
});

Every extra field you add raises your Event Match Quality — the full payload below reaches EMQ 10/10. pbq(…) is a legacy alias for adsping(…); both work.

Full example

Pick the tab for your stack — they all send the same event.

contact-page.html
<script>
  document.querySelector('#contact-form')
    .addEventListener('submit', function () {
      adsping('track', 'Lead', {
        email:        '[email protected]',
        phone:        '+1 415 555 1234',
        firstName:    'Jane',
        lastName:     'Doe',
        city:         'San Francisco',
        state:        'CA',
        zipCode:      '94107',
        country:      'US',
        dateOfBirth:  '1990-01-15',
        gender:       'f',
        externalId:   'crm-12345',
        value:        0,
        currency:     'USD',
        content_name: 'Contact form',
        content_ids:  ['contact-lead']
      });
    });
</script>
  • HTML — replace #contact-form with your form’s id and place the snippet anywhere after the AdsPing script tag.
  • React / Next.js — call window.adsping inside your form’s onSubmit, before your own submit logic runs.
  • Google Tag Manager — paste the HTML snippet into a Custom HTML tag, triggered on your form submit.
  • Send a field only when you actually have it. AdsPing SHA-256-hashes every personal field before it reaches Meta.

About Event Match Quality (EMQ)

Meta scores each event 0–10 on how well it can match the event to a person. Every field you send adds signal. On top of what you pass, AdsPing attaches the things it can read server-side — so you never paste these:

  • fbp + fbc — Meta browser cookies, read by pb.js (it even builds fbc from ?fbclid= in the URL).
  • client_ip_address + client_user_agent — the visitor’s IP and browser, captured on AdsPing’s server. Meta requires these for website events; they’re sent in plaintext (not hashed).
  • external_id — an anonymous visitor id pb.js sets on first visit.

Every personal field (email, phone, name, address) is SHA-256 hashed before it leaves AdsPing — Meta only ever receives the hash. The more real fields your payload carries, the closer you get to EMQ 10/10.

Test it

  1. Submit your form with test data.
  2. Open your pixel’s Report → Recent events in AdsPing.
  3. A Lead row appears within ~10 seconds with a green Success badge and its EMQ score.

✓ Lead is live.

Every form submission is now forwarded to Meta via the Conversions API.
