Integrating calls into Facebook
After you've created a number and configured it for Dynamic Number Insertion, you will need to integrate the calls into Facebook.
Even if you've created a dedicated number for Facebook Ads, we recommend pushing all calls from all tracking numbers to Facebook, as this will allow you to attribute "view-through conversions" to your Facebook Ads campaigns. This means that if they were part of the conversion funnel, for example interacted with an ad on Facebook then went on to convert via a call from Google Ads, your Facebook campaigns will still receive credit.
Please follow the below steps:
- Create an offline event set in Facebook. There are instructions here, if required:
