What you'll set up
- Your Meta Pixel ID saved in Elido workspace settings.
- The "Show conversion splash" option on the links that should fire the pixel.
Elido can fire your Meta Pixel when a visitor clicks a short link. It does this with a brief HTML interstitial (the conversion splash) that loads the pixel in the browser and then redirects to the destination. The splash adds about 1.5 seconds to the redirect.
Step 1 — Find your Pixel ID
- Go to Meta Events Manager.
- In the left panel, click Data Sources.
- Select your pixel. The Pixel ID is the number shown at the top (e.g.
123456789012345). Copy it.
Step 2 — Save it in Elido
- Go to Dashboard → Settings → Pixels.
- Paste the Pixel ID into the Meta field and click Save pixels. The same page holds the Google, LinkedIn and TikTok pixel IDs.
Step 3 — Turn on the splash per link
Open the link's edit dialog and enable Show conversion splash. Links without it redirect directly and fire no pixel.
What the pixel receives
The pixel is loaded in the visitor's browser, so Meta sees the visit the same way as a pixel on your own page. Elido does not send an event_id, value, currency or custom parameters, and does not hash or forward any data server-side.
Privacy
Because the pixel runs in the browser, it is subject to the visitor's consent and your cookie-banner rules. Review Meta's data policy for your own GDPR assessment, and consider whether the splash page needs a consent step.
Troubleshooting
Pixel not firing — Check that the Pixel ID is saved in Settings → Pixels, that Show conversion splash is enabled on the link, and use the Meta Pixel Helper browser extension to confirm the pixel loads on the splash page.
Nothing in Events Manager — Ad blockers and consent tools block browser pixels. Server-side delivery through the Conversions API is the planned fix.
