How to connect Meta to Paid Signal
Watch it once, then follow the steps beside the video.
The video loads only when you press play. Nothing is requested from YouTube before that.

- Find your Dataset ID
Open
business.facebook.com/events_managerand choose the pixel/dataset your store uses. Go to Settings and copy the Dataset ID — a long number — then paste it into Paid Signal. - Generate the Conversions API token
Still in Settings, scroll to “Conversions API” → Set up manually → Generate access token (you need admin on the Business portfolio). Paste it into Paid Signal — it is stored encrypted and never shown again.
- Name your event
Your confirmed-money purchases arrive as a separate event with this name, so your existing pixel keeps working untouched. You will see it in Events Manager under this exact name. The test event code is optional — set one from the “Test events” tab to watch deliveries live while testing.
Then, in the app
Setup → Connections → Meta → Guided setup. It checks the connection for you at the end.
