Connect Kajabi and Facebook

Why do Kajabi and Meta/Facebook Need to Be Connected?

Kajabi is a business platform for serious entrepreneurs, experts, and influencers. Facebook is one of the most widely used platforms for advertising, which businesses use Businesses commonly use Facebook to grow their audience and further develop their brand, either through Facebook pages or ads.  Without a Facebook Conversions API integration, customers who first interact with a brand on Facebook often may not be recognized when they purchase a product. Both platforms keep a rich set of data, but without integration, such as from Able CDP, a very low percentage of the purchases will be shown in reports as being attributed to Facebook.
Here are some reasons why conversion tracking built into Facebook Pixel (Meta Pixel) and Facebook Conversions API Gateway are not enough for Kajabi funnels:

  1. Many Kajabi purchases are made after sign-up and tracking cookies set by Facebook Pixel on ad click are not available in browser cookies anymore.
  2. Even when purchases are made entirely online, it's not uncommon for a portion of sales made through ads to be unattributable to campaigns. This is due to users using multiple devices, ad blocker plugins, and client-side tracking generally not being reliable.
  3. Sending conversions to Facebook Conversions API including identifier assigned by Facebook to a user and customer match parameters solves IOS reporting problems by sending more data, allowing it to model conversions from anonymized IOS clicks.
  4. Facebook Conversions API deduplication parameter makes Facebook to ignore the event sent to Conversions API altogether when a corresponding Pixel event is available, even if Conversions API event has more customer data.
  5. These missing sales from Facebook that go unreported are caused by missing data, which occurs when there is no help from an integration platform such as Able CDP that ensures all sales data is properly attributed in Kajabi.

Combining browser and server-side tracking to report conversions via the server-to-server Facebook Conversions API integration solves these problems. Attributing server-side conversions to the original click id and sending together with customer details via a server-to-server Facebook Conversion API integration is required to report all of them.

All of this without coding and complex manual set-up of the connection between Kajabi and Google Ads. Able already knows how to connect marketing data between Kajabi and Facebook.

How Able CDP Integrates Kajabi and Meta/Facebook

Able tracks Kajabi lead forms as well as purchases by receiving web hooks from Kajabi and attributing purchases to the original visitor tracked by Able, allowing it to send purchase conversions to Google Analytics and ad platforms such as Google Ads.

Able Customer Data Platform combines browser and back-end tracking to:

  1. store Facebook Click id, including the original ad click id (fbclid), when available, as well as browser id (fbp).
  2. attribute successful payments to the Facebook click ids and send conversion to Kajabi with additional customer match parameters.
  3. send Advanced Match Parameters. Customer email, phone, name and address help Facebook to attribute sales when a click id parameter isn't available or is inconclusive

5 Steps to Connect Kajabi with Facebook by Using Able

Step 1. Sign up for a free account

Complete the sign up form to get an Able trial account set up instantly. No credit card required.

Step 2. Install Able tracking code on the website

After signing up for a free account, Able CDP will prompt you to add code to your website.

This tracking code will record ad click ids and details of the original landing page visit, as well as lead form submissions, allowing to attribute customers to website visitors. Able CDP uses its tracking to capture UTM parameters, referrer URL and landing page URL, store them in its own attribution database together with the personal identifiers such as email or phone, entered by customer in lead and order forms, allowing it to associate all future customer activity with the original website visitor source.

Add lead form URLs to the HTML Forms Tracking section to let Able automatically recognize the sign-up and lead forms you're using. Any standard lead form widgets that we could detect during the account setup will appear in the Dynamic Lead Forms Tracking section.

Press "Generate" in the Get Code section to generate a unique tracking code to add to your site.

Able CDP page view tracking doesn't install its own cookies and relies on third-party identifiers such as Google Analytics Client Id to connect customer activity between website pages. Please enable cross-domain measurement in Google Analytics if your landing and lead/order pages are hosted on different domains.

Step 3. In the Funnel tab, click add service integration to select which platforms you want to integrate with

Step 4. Connect Able to Kajabi

To track customer details and associate Kajabi customers with the visitor details, install tracking code generated using the "Code" section in Formsable dashboard. This code will track Kajabi form submissions.

To set up sending of completed purchases from Kajabi to Able, add the following Purchase Webhook URL in Kajabi settings under Settings - Checkout: https://7ibt78j0ja.execute-api.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/Prod/kajabi-webhook/%%FUNNEL_MARK%%, where %%FUNNEL_MARK%% - unique identifier of your funnel.

Able will now receive webhooks from Kajabi, automatically attributing Purchases to Visitors by customer emails and phones and sending Purchase conversions with detailed Invoice Lines where supported.

Note. Kajabi webhook for the Purchase events doesn't include the Purchase details. Able overcomes this limitation by including a workaround that captures the amount when a purchase started as an InitiateCheckout event and applying purchase details from it when the purchase is completed on the Kajabi back-end. If Able Customer history doesn't contain InitiateCheckouts events, please verify that the visitor tracking code has been generated using the "Code" tab in the Able CDP dashboard is displayed on pages with Kajabi order forms.

Step 5. Connect Able to Facebook

1. Set up Facebook Events Manager

  1. Open Facebook Events Manager.
  2. If you have existing Pixel of an Offline Events Set that you'd like to use, open it.
  3. Go to the Settings tab and click Generate access token.

For more granular permissions setup, you could also create System Users and Tokens in Facebook Business Settings manually.

2. Add Access Token to Able

Paste the access token you've created in the previous step and save it. Leave refresh token empty.

3. Enable Outbound Integration

Select the credential you've just created and Purchase event type.

If the token you're using has 'Manage Ad account' permission, Able will display list of Ad Account, which allows to select ad account and pixel you'd like to use from the list.

Otherwise, copy a Pixel or Offline Event Set Id from Facebook Events Manager and paste into the Adspixel or Offline Event Set field respectively:

Don't just take our word for it

Software companies, e-commerce stores and various types of digital businesses around the world are using Able CDP to fundamentally improve their marketing strategy.

We have been looking for a tool that could help gain better insights into our marketing efforts. We tried many, but none of them worked until we found Able. The reason Able CDP works for us, is that it is simple and does not try to reinvent the wheel but rather builds on existing tools and software out there. It helps us link our 'offline' sales to our marketing efforts and have it show up in Google Analytics. It then further helps us to optimize the digital marketing efforts by sending the real conversions (sales) to the marketing platforms. We seem to have finally closed the circle of our efforts and it will help us understand better and better what works, what doesn't and how to fix it or reallocate budgets.
