ScoutRV and the Meta Conversions API

Browser-side pixels miss conversions to ad blockers and tracking restrictions. The Conversions API reports the lead from the server instead — which is also the only place customer data can be handled safely.

How it works

  • Lead events are sent from the server, so the raw email and phone number never enter the browser. Only SHA-256 hashes leave the server, which is what makes advanced matching usable without putting customer data in the data layer.
  • Three gates all have to pass before an event is sent: the dealer has switched it on, a pixel and access token are configured, and the visitor has granted marketing consent without sending an opt-out signal. If consent cannot be confirmed, nothing is sent — it fails closed, not open.
  • The server event and the browser event carry the same lead identifier, so Meta deduplicates them into one enriched conversion rather than counting the lead twice.
  • It is off by default. A measurement feature that sends customer data should be a decision somebody made, not a default somebody inherited.

Questions

Meta Conversions API questions

Does this send customer data to Meta?+

It sends irreversible hashes of the email and phone, never the values themselves, and only when the visitor has granted marketing consent.

Will our conversions be double-counted?+

No. Both the browser and the server event carry the same lead identifier and Meta merges them.

Is it on by default?+

No. It is off until you enable it, deliberately.
