Hi community,

I have a small issue.

I’m using Zapier to use Facebook conversion API, because I don't have any server.

My pixel sends to Facebook an event name "Lead" and an event id "1234".
My Zap uses the Facebook conversion API and also sends an id "1234".

However, the de-duplication is not done.

I'm wondering if by choosing the "Send Lead Event" Zap I can be sure that the event_name will be "Lead".

The "event_name" field is not displayed in Zapier, which surprises me a bit.

Thanks for your help !

Welcome to the Community, @beeondrugs!

I did some checking and you’re right, it doesn’t look like there’s currently a field to specify the event name. There’s a feature request open for this though so I’ve added your vote to that. I can’t make any promises as to when that field would be added to the Send Lead Event action but we’ll email you as soon as it is.

In the meantime, I wonder if it would be possible to add some sort of event name or identifying information within the Additional Data section at the bottom to aid with deduplication?
