    qp('track', 'Generic', {
      'event_name': 'scroll_75_percent',
      'page_url': window.location.href
    });
    window.quoraScrollTracked = true;
  }
});

Mobile App Events (via MMP)

AppsFlyer Events

Map Quora events to AppsFlyer:

import AppsFlyerLib

// Purchase
AppsFlyerLib.shared().logEvent(AFEventPurchase, withValues: [
    AFEventParamRevenue: 99.99,
    AFEventParamCurrency: "USD",
    AFEventParamOrderId: "ORDER_12345",
    AFEventParamContentId: "SKU_12345"
])

// Registration
AppsFlyerLib.shared().logEvent(AFEventCompleteRegistration, withValues: [
    AFEventParamRegistrationMethod: "email"
])

Adjust Events

import com.adjust.sdk.Adjust
import com.adjust.sdk.AdjustEvent

// Purchase
val purchaseEvent = AdjustEvent("abc123")
purchaseEvent.setRevenue(99.99, "USD")
purchaseEvent.addCallbackParameter("order_id", "ORDER_12345")
Adjust.trackEvent(purchaseEvent)

// Lead
val leadEvent = AdjustEvent("def456")
leadEvent.addCallbackParameter("lead_type", "contact_form")
Adjust.trackEvent(leadEvent)

Server-Side Event Tracking

For server-side events, use the Conversions API:

import requests
import hashlib

def track_quora_conversion(event_type, event_data):
    """Track Quora conversion server-side"""
    url = 'https://conversion-event.quora.com/conversion/event'

    # Hash user data
    hashed_email = hashlib.sha256(event_data['email'].encode()).hexdigest()

    payload = {
        'pixel_id': 'PIXEL_ID',
        'access_token': 'ACCESS_TOKEN',
        'event_name': event_type,
        'event_time': event_data['timestamp'],
        'user_data': {
            'em': hashed_email
        },
        'custom_data': {
            'value': event_data.get('value'),
            'currency': event_data.get('currency', 'USD'),
            'order_id': event_data.get('order_id')
        }
    }

    response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
    return response.status_code == 200

# Usage
track_quora_conversion('Purchase', {
    'email': 'user@example.com',
    'value': 99.99,
    'currency': 'USD',
    'order_id': 'ORDER_12345',
    'timestamp': 1640000000
})

Testing Events

Console Testing

// Enable debug mode
window.quoraDebug = true;

// Track test event
qp('track', 'Purchase', {
  'value': '99.99',
  'currency': 'USD',
  'order_id': 'TEST_ORDER_' + Date.now()
});

console.log('✓ Quora purchase event tracked');

Verify in Events Manager

  1. Go to Quora Ads Manager
  2. Click "Events Manager"
  3. Select your pixel
  4. View recent events (may take 20-30 minutes to appear)
  5. Check event parameters

Best Practices

  • Always include value and currency for conversion events
  • Use unique order_id to prevent duplicate conversions
  • Track events as close to the action as possible
  • Use standard event names when available
  • Include relevant custom parameters for audience building
  • Test events before launching campaigns
  • Monitor event volume in Events Manager
  • Document your event schema for team reference
  • Use server-side tracking for sensitive data
  • Implement deduplication logic for hybrid tracking
