# META Conversion API (CAPI) Activation

Once your Pixel is set up in Facebook Business Manager, the next step is to activate the **Conversion API (CAPI)**. This ensures that JENTIS can send **server-side events** directly to Facebook.

### 1. Access the Conversion API Setup

1. In [Facebook Business Manager](https://business.facebook.com/), go to **Events Manager**.
2. Select your **Pixel ID** (new or existing).
3. Navigate to **Settings → Conversion API**.
4. Click **Set Up Conversions API**.

### 2. Generate an Access Token

* Facebook requires an **Access Token** to authorize server-to-server communication.
* In the setup flow, choose **Generate Access Token**.
* Copy and save the token securely.

{% hint style="warning" %}

* Facebook will not store the token for you.
* If it is lost, you must generate a new one (which invalidates the old one).
  {% endhint %}

### 3. Optional: Test Event Code

For testing your JENTIS implementation, Facebook provides a **Test Event Code**:

1. In the Pixel’s **Test Events** tab, copy the test code (e.g., `TEST123...`).
2. Use this code in your JENTIS Tool configuration during testing.
3. Events will then appear in **real-time** inside Facebook Events Manager under **Test Events**.

### 4. When to Activate

You can choose whether to:

* **Activate CAPI immediately** → Recommended if you are ready to implement with JENTIS.
* **Activate later** → Possible if you first want to define events and parameters in detail.

{% hint style="success" %}
At this point, your **Pixel ID**, **Access Token**, and optional **Test Event Code** are ready.
