Real server-side tracking

Instead of relaying conversions from browser tracking tags through a server, Able offers server-side connections with payment systems, e-commerce platforms and CRMs to obtain conversions without depending on conversion events collected in browser.

Unparalleled attribution quality

Able uses a customer database to attribute each conversion to the original website visitor and click identifier, as well as enhanced attribution parameters, ensuring ad platforms know exactly who made the purchase and can credit conversion to the appropriate campaign.

Boost your ad performance with Facebook (Meta) Server-Side Tracking by Able CDP

With the rise of privacy controls and limitations on cookie-based tracking, advertisers face challenges in attributing conversions reliably.

That's where Able Customer Data Platform comes in. Our solution seamlessly integrates with Facebook Conversions API, enabling you to attribute more conversions than with other Conversions API integrations.

Combine client-side and server-side tracking data to send rich, first-party attribution data to Facebook Ads through server-side tracking. By leveraging Able CDP server-side tracking, you can:

  • Resolve tracking and attribution challenges: Ensure accurate attribution of conversions in Facebook Ads, even in the face of browser cookie restrictions and IOS limitations.
  • Combine browser and server-side data: Able CDP merges in-browser identifiers (fbp/fbclid) with back-end customer details (email, name, address), sending a single, comprehensive event to Facebook Conversions API. This allows Facebook to use all available data for attribution, overcoming the limitations of deduplication.
  • Ensure accurate attribution of conversions in Facebook (Meta) Ads: We ensure that your attribution settings are compatible with Facebook's conversion modeling, enabling exceptionally precise attribution of IOS transactions and maximizing the visibility of your conversions.
  • Complement Facebook (Meta) Pixel: Server-side tracking through Able CDP works hand-in-hand with the Pixel, providing a more complete view of customer interactions for better targeting and performance analysis.

Don't let tracking limitations hold back your ad performance. With Able CDP's server-side tracking integration, you can unlock the full potential of Facebook Conversions API, achieve accurate attribution, and optimize your campaigns for success.

How Able consolidates API and client-side tracking data

Able tracks customers from their first website visit and associates UTM parameters, ad click IDs, and browser identifiers with customer details from lead and sign-up forms. It combines this data with server-side information to record conversions without relying on cookies and pixels. Able CDP's unique approach ensures that you have the most accurate and complete picture of your customers, allowing for better targeting and personalization of your marketing campaigns.

Client-side pixel tracking has long been a staple in monitoring user behavior and engagement on websites. However, it faces limitations due to privacy restrictions, cookie blocking, and user consent management. To address these challenges, we've developed a solution that incorporates server-side integrations, which captures key conversion data on the server-side, bypassing the limitations of browser-based tracking and providing a more reliable method for tracking user interactions and attributing conversions

The true innovation of Able CDP lies in its Conversions API integrations, which connect directly with ad platforms like Facebook Ads and Google Ads via server-to-server communication. This approach offers a comprehensive view of customer interactions, both online and offline, without relying on browser-based tracking or user consent.

Experience the future of data-driven marketing with Able CDP, a platform designed to deliver unparalleled insights and empower businesses to make informed decisions.

How Able CDP's server-side API integrations differ from server-side Google Tag Manager (GTM) and CAPI Gateway?

Solutions like server-side Google Tag Manager and Meta CAPI Gateway implement 'server-side tagging'. Their data collection relies entirely on tracking code running in the user's browser, which then sends event data to a server container. This container runs a virtualized browser instance that executes the ad platform and analytics tracking tags—hence the name 'server-side tagging'.

The primary advantage of server-side tracking tags over client-side tagging is that they are marginally less vulnerable to privacy restrictions and ad blockers. However, like client-side tagging, server-side pixels still require some form of user interaction with a website or application to trigger an event. Server-side Google Tag Manager and CAPI Gateway can only send as much information to the ad platform as they receive from the browser.

In comparison, server-side tracking by Able uses server-to-server communication to receive conversion data directly from your e-commerce platform, payment system, CRM, or application to ad platforms like Meta (Facebook) Ads and Google Ads. This method offers a more comprehensive view of customer interactions, including both online and 'offline' events, without relying on browser-based tracking or cookie consent.

Able CDP's server-side tracking and API integrations work alongside both client-side and server-side pixel tracking to provide a complete and accurate solution for tracking customer interactions and attributing conversions. By combining the strengths of these approaches, Able CDP ensures that you have the most reliable data available for your marketing analysis, allowing you to optimize your campaigns and achieve better results.

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.
