You can choose any of these events depending on the objective of your campaign. For example, if your objective is Lead Generation then choose the event “Lead Form Submitted”.

4. Under “Rules” select “Event Parameters” and add the calculator name.

5. You can also add the URL for further specifications.

Exclude the users who have accessed the content from your campaigns.

If you are running a campaign on Facebook for your quiz or calculator, you might want to avoid reaching out to the people who have taken the quiz or used the calculator already. If you wish to exclude people who've converted after seeing your ads, you'll need to capture them into a Website Custom Audience and use exclusion targeting in your ad campaigns to exclude your converters from seeing your ads.

For example, you get a 'ResultCTAClicked' event on your quiz: Which is the Best Pasta Recipe For You?

1. Create a Website Custom Audience using your 'ResultCTAClicked' standard event. You can follow these steps to learn how to do this.

2. Once someone clicks on the Result CTA on this quiz, they'll be added to the ResultCTAClicked Website Custom Audience.

3. When creating your campaign, you can select to exclude your 'Result CTAClicked' Website Custom Audience. Since this audience updates dynamically, if someone sees your ad and then makes a conversion, they will no longer see your ad in the future.

Once you have configured Facebook Pixel, you can keep a track of whether the respective Pixel is firing or not.
