How do you set the Facebook Pixel using an app that is made on Cordova. I need to track conversions in the app so I can better target the ads made in Facebook Ads. Normally it will be easy to do this task in an HTML page by copy pasting it and executing a JavaScript command, or in an app by installing the Facebook SDK and running a command using JAVA, Swift or Objective-C. However Ionic opens a web view where the user is not connected to Facebook, so it does not track it. So what is the way to go?

Add the Javascript from Facebook SDK Pixel into www/index.html (for permanent changes edit src/index.html)
<!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
<script>
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';
n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',
'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');
fbq('init', 'XXXXXXXXX');
fbq('track', 'PageView');
</script>
<noscript>
<img height="1" width="1"
src="https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=XXXXXXX&ev=PageView
&noscript=1"/>
</noscript>
<!-- End Facebook Pixel Code -->

1But how will Facebook know the user comes from a Facebook ad? – awavi Dec 15 '16 at 15:50

Replace the XXXXXX with your Pixel code generated by your Ad that is a unique id. – Alejandro Quintanar Dec 15 '16 at 22:01

2Ok. But Facebook should know who actually the user is to optimize the campaign right?. Also where do I dynamically get the pixel code generated by the Ad from. – awavi Dec 16 '16 at 13:59

We can add code for web only in index file.
Here is the useful doc
