Tracking Pixels in Hive

Set up Tracking in Hive to automatically apply tracking pixels across your Hive Capture Tools.

Written by Mark

Tracking allows you to add pixel IDs once and have them automatically applied to new Capture pages you publish, including:

  • Contests

  • Presales

  • Landing Pages

  • Signup Forms

This ensures engagement activity from your Capture pages is consistently sent to your advertising and analytics platforms.

Tracking helps teams avoid missed pixels, reduce setup time, and maintain consistent campaign data.

Within the Tracking tab you can also add your Meta’s Conversions API.


Supported Tracking Platforms

Hive supports tracking from the following platforms:

  • Meta (Dataset / Pixel ID)

  • Google Analytics

  • TikTok

  • Snapchat

  • Twitter (X)

  • Reddit

These pixels send engagement data from your Capture pages to your advertising platform.

How the data is used such as audience creation or ad optimization, happens within the ad platform itself.


Where to Set Up Tracking

To configure tracking:

  1. Log into Hive

  2. Navigate to Ads β†’ Tracking

  3. Click +ADD TRACKING

  4. Select Build & Retarget Audiences

  5. Enter in the Dataset ID from Meta

  6. Name the Dataset so you can easily recognize it

  7. Select + CONTINUE

  8. Confirm information is correct

  9. Select +CONFIRM

Once saved, these pixels will automatically apply to new Capture pages you create and publish.

How Tracking Works

When a new Capture page is published:

  1. Hive checks for Tracking Pixels configured in Ads β†’ Tracking

  2. Those pixels are automatically applied to the page

  3. Engagement events are sent when users interact with the page

This ensures every new capture experience launches with tracking already active.


Adding Tracking to Individual Capture Pages

Tracking can also be added directly to a specific Capture page.

When added at the page level:

  • The page-specific pixel combines with the Tracking pixels set in Ads β†’ Tracking

  • The additional pixel applies only to that page

This is helpful for campaigns that require partner tracking or custom pixels.


When to Use Tracking

Tracking is recommended if you:

  • Run multiple Capture campaigns

  • Want consistent tracking across all pages

  • Want to avoid manually adding pixels to every new campaign

  • Use retargeting in your advertising platforms

Because Tracking is applied automatically, it helps ensure every Capture page launches with tracking already in place.

When to Use Page-Level Tracking Instead

You may choose to add tracking directly to a Capture page when:

  • Different campaigns require different pixels

  • You are running co-promotions with partners

  • You need custom tracking for a specific campaign

  • The page is already created before you input your pixels
    ​

Adding Multiple Pixel IDs

Multiple Pixel IDs can be added by separating them with commas:

111111111111111, 222222222222222

This is helpful when multiple partners require tracking.


Embedded Capture Tools

Embedded Capture Tools (such as Popup Forms or Embedded Signup Forms) live directly on your website.

Hive does not automatically inject tracking pixels into embedded tools to avoid interfering with tracking already installed on your site.

If you want pixel events to fire for embedded forms, you can add tracking using the onFormSubmitSuccess callback in the embed code.


Frequently Asked Questions

Do Tracking Pixels apply to pages I already created?

No. Tracking Pixels only apply automatically to Capture pages created after you configure them in Ads β†’ Tracking. For existing pages, you’ll need to manually add pixels at the page level if you want tracking to apply.

What happens if I add Tracking Pixels after publishing a page?

Newly configured Tracking Pixels will not retroactively apply to already published pages. You must update those pages individually to include tracking.

Can I use both global Tracking and page-level tracking?

Yes. Page-level tracking will be added on top of your global Tracking Pixels. This allows you to include additional or partner-specific pixels for individual campaigns.

Will Tracking Pixels apply to embedded forms or popups on my website?

No. Hive does not automatically apply Tracking Pixels to embedded Capture Tools. If needed, you can trigger tracking using the onFormSubmitSuccess callback in your embed code.

Can I add multiple Pixel IDs?

Yes. You can add multiple Pixel IDs by separating them with commas. This is useful for tracking across multiple ad accounts or partners.

Does Hive control how my tracking data is used?

No. Hive sends engagement data to your selected platforms, but how that data is used (e.g., audience building, optimization) is controlled within each ad platform.
