Pixel Custom Events Table

pixel_custom_events_table

The Pixel Custom Events table captures every fire of custom events you've defined on your site (form fills, scroll depth, quiz steps, etc.), including the raw event data payload. One row per event fire. Learn more about tracking custom events with Triple Pixel.

Table Guide

What You Can Answer With This Table

  • How many times did a specific custom event fire, and how has that trended? — use event_name, count, group by event_date
  • Which custom events are most active across the site? — use event_name, count, group by event_name
  • What context did visitors submit with an event (e.g., answers, form values)? — query the data JSON payload (learn more)
  • What custom events happened during a specific page view? — use page_view_event_id, event_name

Before You Query

  • Required field: event_date
  • Custom event properties are flattened into queryable columns automatically when events are defined via the Custom Events Builder. For events not created via the builder, query properties from the raw JSON data payload.

When to Use a Different Table

  • For attribution of conversion events to channels, campaigns, or ads → use Pixel Custom Conversions. The same event fires appear in both tables: this table has the raw event data payload with no attribution; Pixel Custom Conversions adds channel, campaign, ad, attribution model, attribution window, and conversion value — but only for events marked as conversions.
