Facebook Pixel on different environments

Question

I have a FB pixel working properly, but still on development and staging environments.

What are the best practices to use this on production, should I always use at least two different pixels? in order to have reliable data.

Answer 1

I found some documentation on segment.com that recommends:

We recommend setting up separate source for each environment. That way you can either point events to test conversion pixels in Facebook Conversion Tracking or turn off Facebook Conversion Tracking completely in non-production environments.

Is the source a segment.com feature? If so then I guess that the key take away is the idea of setting up two different facebook pixels, one that is used for dev/test environments and one for production. I was kinda leaning this way anyway. Was that your take? – Uprear

I can't find any reference to source so am not sure. But I agree the key takeaway is to set-up a different pixel per environment. – Cellini
