meta_list_pixel_events
List the events that a Meta Pixel received in the last 7 days.
Ask whether an event fires before an ad set optimizes for it. An ad set that optimizes for an event that never fires gets no delivery.
Does the Northwind Web Pixel send StartTrial?
The agent calls meta_list_pixel_events with the id of the Pixel. You see each event name with its count over the last 7 days, and the hour of its last event. The counts are the ones that Meta reports for the Pixel. Meta keeps 7 days of events, so a smaller window is possible and a larger one is not. Change what runs on Meta shows where this step comes in the job.
Reference
List the events that one Meta Pixel received in the last days days (1 to 7, default 7): one row per event name, with its count and lastSeenAt. Call this before you create an ad set that optimizes for an event. Confirm that the event fires. An ad set that optimizes for an event that never fires gets no delivery. The counts are the ones that Meta reports for the Pixel. Meta keeps 7 days of events, and the top 100 event names of each hour. The Pixel must be a Pixel of the advertiser: find its id with meta_list_pixels. The answer has no page.
