# Facebook Ads: Server-to-Server Conversion Tracking (Existing Pixel)

## Learn how to send conversion event data directly from Demand IQ to Facebook's Conversions API, bypassing client-side tracking from a Facebook Pixel.

This article will show you how to send conversion event data directly from Demand IQ to Facebook. While this method bypasses the Facebook Pixel as the main data path, you will still need the Pixel as an identifier for your Business Manager account. 

#### What You'll Need

- **Admin** access to your Facebook Business Manager Account (you must be an Admin to access the necessary settings)
- Access to your Demand IQ platform

Ensure the corresponding Facebook Pixel ID is also entered into the Demand IQ Portal. **This integration will not work without the corresponding Pixel ID also entered into the Demand IQ Portal. **

---

If you need to create a Facebook Pixel or do not have your Pixel ID saved in the Demand IQ Portal, [please follow the setup instructions here](https://knowledge.demand-iq.com/knowledge/facebook-ads-add-pixel-id-to-demand-iq?hsLang=en).
