StackAdapt Pixel
StackAdapt is a programmatic advertising platform for native, display, video, and connected TV campaigns. This destination loads the StackAdapt Universal Pixel in the browser and forwards identify and track events for conversion measurement and audience targeting. There is no server-side component.
Getting Started
This is a device-mode destination. The StackAdapt Universal Pixel is loaded automatically — no manual script installation is required. You will need:
- Pixel ID — your Universal Pixel ID, found in the Pixels page in your StackAdapt account.
Connecting to the StackAdapt CDP Destination
- Log into the Chord data platform.
- Navigate to the CDP.
- Click the "Add" button next to Destinations.
- Select StackAdapt from the destination catalog.
- Enter the destination name and your Pixel ID.
- Click "Create" to connect.
Events
Event Mapping
Chord Event Type | StackAdapt SDK Call | Notes |
|---|---|---|
page | saq("ts", pixelId) | Page view tracking call |
identify | (stores user traits in memory) | Traits attached to subsequent track events; not sent immediately |
track | saq("conv", pixelId, conversionData) | All track events forwarded as conversions |
Page Events
Fires a StackAdapt page view tracking call.
StackAdapt SDK call: saq("ts", pixelId)
No additional attributes are sent with page events.
Identify Events
Identify events store user traits in browser memory. These traits are not sent to StackAdapt immediately — they are attached to all subsequent track conversion events for the duration of the browser session.
StackAdapt Trait | Chord Source (Priority Order) |
|---|---|
properties.email > context.traits.email > traits.email | |
first_name | properties.first_name > context.traits.first_name > traits.first_name |
last_name | properties.last_name > context.traits.last_name > traits.last_name |
phone | properties.phone > context.traits.phone > traits.phone |
Track Events
Sends a conversion event to StackAdapt with ecommerce data and any previously stored user traits from identify calls.
StackAdapt SDK call: saq("conv", pixelId, conversionData)
Always Included
StackAdapt Attribute | Chord Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
action | event (the track event name) | |
Stored from identify | Included if an identify call was made | |
first_name | Stored from identify | Included if an identify call was made |
last_name | Stored from identify | Included if an identify call was made |
phone | Stored from identify | Included if an identify call was made |
Order-Level Attributes
StackAdapt Attribute | Chord Source (Priority Order) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
order_id | properties.cart_id / properties.order_id | Included if present |
revenue | properties.revenue > properties.total > properties.value > calculated from products | Prefers subtotal (excluding tax/shipping) |
currency | properties.currency | Defaults to "USD" |
Product Attributes (Single Product)
When properties.products[] contains exactly one product, product fields are sent as flat attributes:
StackAdapt Attribute | Chord Source (Priority Order) |
|---|---|
product_id | properties.products[0].product_id > properties.products[0].id > properties.products[0].sku |
product_category | properties.products[0].category |
product_name | properties.products[0].name |
product_price | properties.products[0].price |
product_quantity | properties.products[0].quantity — defaults to 1 |
Product Attributes (Multiple Products)
When properties.products[] contains two or more products, they are sent as a products array. Each element uses the same field mapping as the single product above. Empty product objects are filtered out.
Initialization
The plugin loads the StackAdapt Universal Pixel script. The plugin manages SDK loading state (fresh → loading → loaded/failed) to prevent duplicate script loads. If the script fails to load, subsequent events are silently dropped.
