This entry provides detailed information on how to trigger external pixels. 

Use Cases

When creating a segment or conversion it is also possible to trigger external pixels as an optional configuration setting. All type of pixels (e.g. image url, script, etc.) are supported and can be piggybacked onto the corresponding Custom (Success) Event. The term piggybacking usually refers to the situation where the firing of pixel A causes the firing of pixel B. This second firing can either be via a redirect or a server-side firing.

...

1. Go to Data Collection and create a new pixel or configure an existing pixel.

2. Go to Configure On-Site page.

3. Add a Custom Event or Custom Success Event label.

4. Add the appropriate conditions for this Custom Event or Custom Success Event pixel to fire.

5. Tick the Select External Pixels box under the Trigger External Pixels (optional) item.

6. Select Custom from the Platform dropdown.
7. Include the 3rd party pixel URL or JavaScript code into the appropriate box.
