Conversions API integrations
Connect conversion data directly with platforms like Meta, TikTok and Reddit to strengthen signals and improve the reliability of campaign measurement and optimisation.
What it is
A CAPI integration is a server-to-server connection between the organisation’s measurement layer (typically server-side GTM or the warehouse) and the receiving platform’s API. Events flow with hashed first-party identifiers - email, phone, customer ID - and are matched, deduplicated against pixel events, and used for bidding.
Why it matters
Platform pixels operate inside the browser, where signal is progressively restricted. CAPI operates server-side, where signal is durable. Meta, TikTok and Reddit now publicly weight CAPI-delivered events higher in their bidding logic. Organisations without CAPI are bidding against a fraction of their own conversion volume.
What Louder does
- Integration design - source of truth, deduplication strategy, identifier coverage.
- Implementation - server-side GTM templates, warehouse-driven feeds, queue management.
- Monitoring - match-rate dashboards, dropped-event alerts, deduplication QA.
- Consent integration - CAPI sends bounded by the consent the user actually gave.
Common challenges
- Signal loss as browser restrictions and privacy changes reduce the reliability of pixel-only tracking.
- Low match rates caused by incomplete or poor-quality first-party customer data.
- Duplicate conversions when browser and server events aren’t correctly deduplicated.
- Complex integrations across multiple platforms, each with different API requirements and implementation standards.
- Ongoing maintenance to monitor event quality, resolve failures and keep pace with platform and privacy changes.
