How to create a new ShortPen Pixel: Steps
Fill in pixel details
- Pixel name. Use a simple, unique label like “Main Website”, “Shopify Store”, or “LPs – Q4”. Good naming makes troubleshooting later easier.
- Allowed domains. Enter the domain(s) where the Pixel will be installed. You can list multiple domains, separated by commas. Only events from these domains will be accepted
- Connect to workspaces. Choose all workspaces or pick specific ones. Each workspace can have only one Pixel connected at a time to avoid double tracking.
What to do next (recommended)
- Install the Pixel on your site/app.
- Verify the Pixel is detected and receiving activity.
- Define events you want to measure.
