Implementation of the Week
- Meta (FB/IG) Conversion API Integration with Zoho CRM
- Meta is constantly adapting its marketing targeting toolset and recently has rolled out a “Conversion” API that allows us to tell its algorithms which Leads ended up being “good”
- Using this data, Meta can then automatically retarget programmatic marketing to target look-a-likes to these good-fit Leads
- In this implementation, we built a custom function triggered on Lead conversion that hash-encodes, then writes information back to Meta to confirm that the specific Lead was a good one
- This provides a “set it and forget it” method for continuously improving your pay-per-click advertising targeting on the Meta platform
Code Share of the Week
- Currency Formatting using Regular Expressions
- This is a piece of code that uses RegEx to parse a number and put it in ‘currency format’ (with thousands separator and 2 decimal places).
- It is particularly useful when you’re writing an email via script, an error message, or any text that needs to be read by humans, and your data comes out as a big number.
