Request common parameters

The basic request sent to the facebook api:

{
   "data": [
      {
         "event_name": "",
         "event_time": 54545454,
         "event_source_url": "",
         "action_source": "website",
         "user_data": {
            "client_ip_address": "",
            "client_user_agent": "",
            "fbp": "",
            "fbc": ""
         },
         "custom_data": {}
      }
   ],
   "test_event_code": ""
}

• event_name is based on the event and set by the specific method called.
• event_time is set with the current timestamp value
• event_source_url is set with the $event_source_url parameter, if it is not specified is replaced with the current request url by default.
• client_ip_address is set with the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] value
• client_user_agent is set with the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] value
• fbp is set with the $_COOKIE['_fbp'] cookie value if it's present
• fbc is set with the $_COOKIE['_fbc'] cookie value if it's present
• custom_data depends on the specific event sent, see the event specific documentation.
• test_event_code is present only if the debug config param is not false

Events

The facebook pixel events managed by the module are:

PageView

To send a PageView event create an action in a controller in which you call sendPageViewEvent():

public function pageViewTrigger() {
    $this->resetViews();
    /** @var Pff2FbConversionApi $fb_conv_api */
    $fb_conv_api = ModuleManager::loadModule('pff2-fb-conversion-api');
    $fb_conv_api->sendPageViewEvent();
}

Insert a render action in the main layout which refers to the action created (for ex. in the Layout_Controller)

<?php $this->renderAction('Layout', 'pageViewTrigger', array())?>

This method does not create a custom data request field.

• string|null $event_source_url The browser URL where the event happened. The URL must begin with http:// or https:// and should match the verified domain. If null the parameter value is replaced with the absolute url of the request.
