Integrating Facebook's Conversion API with GTM, Google Analytics

The goal of this project is to integrate Facebook's Conversion API with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and stape.io to provide a unified and comprehensive marketing analytics solution. This integration will allow for accurate tracking and measurement of conversion events across various platforms, devices, and channels, enabling better campaign optimization and improved return on investment (ROI).

## Background

Contra is a leading digital marketing agency that manages advertising campaigns for clients across multiple platforms, including Facebook, Google, and other ad networks. Currently, Contra relies on various tracking methods, including browser-based pixel tracking and platform-specific conversion tracking tools.

However, this fragmented approach has limitations, such as inaccurate cross-device and cross-platform tracking, limited visibility into offline conversions, and challenges in consolidating data from multiple sources for comprehensive reporting and analysis.

By integrating Facebook's Conversion API with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and stape.io, Contra can address these limitations and provide a more unified and accurate marketing analytics solution for their clients.

3. **Integrate with Google Analytics 4**: Integrate with Google Analytics 4 to capture and analyze conversion data from various sources, including Facebook's Conversion API, in a unified analytics platform.

4. **Incorporate stape.io**: Integrate with stape.io, a customer data platform, to consolidate and unify customer data from multiple sources, including Facebook and Google, for more comprehensive and personalized marketing campaigns.

5. **Cross-Device and Cross-Platform Tracking**: Leverage the combined capabilities of Facebook's Conversion API, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and stape.io to enable accurate cross-device and cross-platform tracking of conversion events.

6. **Offline Conversion Tracking**: Enable tracking of offline conversions, such as in-store purchases or phone calls, by leveraging Facebook's Offline Conversions functionality and integrating with stape.io's customer data platform.
