Daniel Lapinski (ID: 000000006cb2b314) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Cool tool for those with a bit less experience tagging events on their websites. Really helped me feel confident in my implementation of events, and tracking them in our reporting dash. Recommended for all those using ads.roku.com to promote their business/products in streaming.

walter wally (ID: 00000075d290d4d3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 I used this for troubleshooting my pixel in roku ads manager. Its relatively easy to use so no complaints there. I installed it, went to my site and it showed me that I had correctly installed my pixel and page view event. It also showed me that I wasn't successfully passing along my purchase event and some price parameters. It took a few mins of troubleshooting my code and looking at roku's help center docs to fix it. if anyone needs pixel parameters, I found them here: https://help.ads.roku.com/en/articles/8264548-supported-event-parameters
