Set Up Your First Destination

We'll use Meta CAPI as the example. The process is nearly identical for every Marketing and Analytics destination.

Before you start

You need a Hardal signal that's actively receiving events and credentials for the platform you want to connect. If your signal isn't receiving events yet, complete the installation guide first.

Add and configure

1. Go to Destinations → + Add → Meta CAPI
2. In the Setup tab, enter your Meta Pixel ID and Meta Access Token
3. In the Advanced tab, Consent Mode is on by default — leave it on if you're in the EU or Turkey
4. Click Connect
5. Open the destination ⚙️ → click Activate

Once live, Hardal automatically forwards all standard events to Meta.

Trigger a test event

Fire an event on your site with consent: "true":

hardal.track("purchase", {
  revenue: 1.00,
  currency: "USD",
  order_id: "TEST-001",
  consent: "true"
});

Verify

Scroll to Recent Activity. You should see:

• Your event name in the Event Name column
• The Meta icon (blue circle) in Destinations
• "Success" in Status

For extra confidence, use Test Event Code in the Advanced tab — paste the code from Meta Events Manager → Test Events, trigger an event, and check for it in Meta's Test Events tab labeled "Server."
