GoHighLevel Funnel Event Pixel Setup Guide
Connecting your funnel tracking in GoHighLevel with Facebook Conversion API is essential if you want accurate event reporting beyond what a simple browser pixel can provide. Whether you also track projects in ClickUp or other tools, this step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to configure a funnel event pixel inside GoHighLevel and send reliable events to Facebook.
This article is based on the official platform documentation and walks you through creating the event, placing it in your funnel, and confirming that data flows correctly to your Facebook Ads account.
What You Need Before Setting Up GoHighLevel Tracking
Before you start configuring the funnel event pixel in GoHighLevel, make sure you have the following items ready:
- An active GoHighLevel account with access to Funnels.
- A Facebook Business Manager account.
- A configured Facebook Pixel and Facebook Conversion API access (via Events Manager).
- Admin or developer access to your Facebook assets.
- The Facebook Pixel ID that you will use for the integration.
Having all of these ready will make it much faster to complete the process and verify that events are being received.
Why Connect Facebook Conversion API to GoHighLevel
Standard browser pixels track events only when the visitor’s browser allows it. By connecting Facebook Conversion API through GoHighLevel, you gain more reliable data because events are sent server-to-server.
Benefits include:
- Improved tracking despite ad blockers or cookie limitations.
- Better attribution for leads and sales from your funnels.
- More accurate CPA and ROAS reporting inside Facebook Ads Manager.
- Reduced event loss between GoHighLevel funnels and Facebook.
These improvements are particularly valuable for funnels that drive leads, bookings, or purchases where every conversion matters.
Step 1: Enable Facebook Integration in GoHighLevel
The first step is to connect your Facebook account to your GoHighLevel workspace so the system can send events to the correct Business Manager assets.
-
Log in to your GoHighLevel account as an admin or account owner.
-
Navigate to the Settings area at account or sub-account level (depending on where your funnels live).
-
Locate the Integrations section in the left sidebar.
-
Click on the Facebook integration option.
-
Follow the Facebook login prompts and grant permission for GoHighLevel to access your Business Manager, ad accounts, and pixels.
Once connected, GoHighLevel will be able to list your available Facebook Pixels and send conversion events through the Conversion API.
Step 2: Create a Funnel Event Pixel in GoHighLevel
Next you need to create the actual event pixel configuration inside GoHighLevel that will tie your funnel steps to specific Facebook events.
-
Go to the Funnels menu in your GoHighLevel account.
-
Select the specific funnel where you want to track conversions.
-
Open the funnel and look for the Settings or Tracking tab (name may vary slightly, but it is where you configure scripts and pixels).
-
Locate the option for adding a new Funnel Event Pixel or Facebook Conversion API event.
-
Choose the Facebook Pixel from the dropdown that you previously connected through the integration.
-
Select the event type you want to fire, such as Lead, CompleteRegistration, Purchase, or any other standard event supported by Facebook.
This configuration acts as the bridge between GoHighLevel funnel steps and your Facebook Conversion API events.
Step 3: Map Funnel Steps to Facebook Events in GoHighLevel
After you create the event pixel configuration, you must decide on which funnel steps the events will trigger.
-
Inside your selected funnel in GoHighLevel, open the funnel step (page) that should send the conversion event.
-
Go to the Settings or Tracking Code section of that page.
-
Assign the previously created funnel event pixel to this step.
-
Confirm the correct Facebook event name is selected for this step (for example, firing Lead on a Thank You page after a form submission).
-
Save the funnel step and publish any changes.
Repeat this mapping process for any other steps where you want to send additional events, such as initiating checkout, adding items to cart, or scheduling calls.
Step 4: Configure Facebook Conversion API Parameters
To maximize the value of Conversion API tracking from GoHighLevel, you should ensure important parameters are passed along with each event.
Common parameters include:
- Event name (for example, Lead, Purchase).
- Event time (timestamp from GoHighLevel).
- User data such as email, phone, or name (hashed, as required by Facebook).
- Custom data like value, currency, and content name.
Within the event pixel settings in GoHighLevel, confirm that these fields are mapped correctly from your funnel form fields or sales data. The more complete your event data, the better Facebook can optimize your campaigns.
Step 5: Test Events from GoHighLevel to Facebook
Before relying on the integration, you must test that events are properly firing from GoHighLevel and reaching Facebook via the Conversion API.
-
Open Facebook Events Manager in your Business Manager.
-
Select the Pixel you have connected with GoHighLevel.
-
Use the Test Events section to generate a unique test code if needed.
-
Open your funnel in a new incognito window or test browser.
-
Perform the actions you want to track (for example, filling out a form and reaching the Thank You page).
-
Return to Facebook Events Manager and verify that server events from GoHighLevel appear, with the correct event name, parameters, and timestamps.
If events are not appearing, double-check that the correct funnel event pixel is assigned to the right funnel step and that your Facebook integration is active.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Funnel Event Pixel Issues
If data is not flowing as expected between GoHighLevel and Facebook Conversion API, review the following common issues:
- Incorrect Pixel ID: Make sure you selected the correct Facebook Pixel in your GoHighLevel settings.
- Disconnected integration: If your Facebook session expired, reauthorize the integration in GoHighLevel.
- Wrong funnel step mapping: Confirm that the event is firing on the actual confirmation or Thank You page, not just the opt-in page.
- Ad blockers in testing: Use a clean browser or incognito window to avoid interference.
- Missing parameters: Ensure key user data fields from your GoHighLevel forms are mapped to the event for better match quality.
