Installing Your Tik Tok Pixel ( with ClickFunnels & Google Tag Manager )

Introduction

Installing a TikTok Pixel on ClickFunnels can seem daunting, but with the right steps, it can be straightforward. In this article, we will detail how to create and implement a TikTok Pixel using Google Tag Manager and ClickFunnels, giving you the necessary tools and processes to effectively track your conversions.

Step 1: Create Your TikTok Pixel

  1. Access TikTok Ads Manager: Log in to your TikTok Ads Manager account and navigate to the Pixels section.
  2. Create a New Pixel: Click on “Create Pixel” and provide a name for your pixel; for example, "Action Pixel".
  3. Choose Installation Method: Here, you can select either manual installation directly on your funnel or use Google Tag Manager. For this guide, we’ll use Google Tag Manager for better organization.

Step 2: Set Up TikTok Pixel in Google Tag Manager

  1. Log in to Google Tag Manager: Once you have your TikTok Pixel code, log in to your Google Tag Manager account.
  2. Create a New Tag: Click on “Tags” and then “New”.
  3. Choose Tag Type: Select "Custom HTML" from the list of tag types.
  4. Paste Your Pixel Code: Copy the TikTok pixel code you generated earlier and paste it into the Custom HTML field.
  5. Set Up Trigger: Set the trigger to "All Pages" to ensure the pixel fires on all pages of your funnel.
  6. Publish: Save and publish your tag changes in Google Tag Manager.

Step 3: Track Specific Events

  1. Go to Triggers: Create a new trigger for specific events you want to track, such as form submissions.
  2. Select Trigger Type: For our example, use a “Form Submission” trigger to track leads generated from form submissions.
  3. Configure Trigger: Specify the details of the trigger including options for custom values, and then save it.
  4. Add URL Conditions: Specify conditions like destination URLs for tracking page views and thank-you pages.

Step 4: Verify Pixel Implementation

To verify that your TikTok Pixel is firing correctly, allow some time (up to 24 hours) to see if events start populating on TikTok’s dashboard, assuming that traffic is being sent to the site. You can use the TikTok Pixel Helper tool to check if your pixel is correctly set up.

Step 5: Monitor Performance

Check back on your TikTok Ads Manager to view the pixel events. You should see events like Page View, Form Submission, and others listed as they are triggered.
