Fine, it all seems like easy work, doesn't it? But let's learn more about URL parameters and what they mean...
There are six different parameters you'll be capable to see and they have different names.
*p_id - This is a default parameter that is always set for all Twitter actions. Yet, it may happen that it detects an API partner if you work with one or come across them.
*p_user_id - A parameter made for all future functionalities, always set to zero.
*txn_id - Wondering what your Twitter tag ID would be? Well, this is it! This URL parameter will allow you to confirm your ID for better security and authentication processes.
*tw_sale_amount - URL parameter for conversion events? If you need to pass a sale amount to an associate, know that this URL parameter is made for it. It's also set to zero as p_user_id.
*tw_order_quantity - The same as for the previous one. With this URL parameter, the information can be also used for Ads UI conversion reporting.
*tpx_cb - Future functionalities and all related actions are reserved for this URL parameter.
Wow, we have definitely learned a lot about Twitter Pixel Helper! Is there something else left for us to learn?
Yes, special features! A warning icon comes with certain information if this helper detects malformed parameters. If they are not set in a proper way, you'll get a chance to fix all that with these special features.
There's another special feature you should know about - the history one. This way, you are able to see what were 30 last pixels that were detected by this Chrome extension.
