If you are sharing the same events via multiple methods, also called a redundant set up, we may receive the same events from the browser and the server. Deduplication allows us to identify if the same events are being passed via multiple methods so we can discard the duplicate event and only count the conversion once.<br> This document outlines the steps for setting up and using deduplication for the Insight Tag, or Image pixel, and Conversions API.</p> <h2 id="how-does-deduplication-work">How Does Deduplication Work?</h2> <p>For any conversion that you want to send through multiple methods, such as Insight Tag and Conversions API, you must create a conversion rule for each data source (browser and server). Then, you can implement a logic to pick up the <code>eventId</code> from the browser and send it with the corresponding event from your server. If we receive an Insight Tag event and a Conversions API event from the same account with the same <code>eventId</code>, we discard the Conversions API event and count only the Insight Tag event in campaign reporting.</p> <h2 id="what-does-deduplication-look-like-in-campaign-reporting">What Does Deduplication Look Like In Campaign Reporting?</h2> <p>Once you have set up a redundant conversion for Conversions API and Insight Tag and associated both conversions with a campaign:</p> <ul> <li>You can see both conversions in reporting under the conversion breakdowns. For example, you can see “Insight Tag trial activation” and “CAPI trial activation”.</li> <li>If we detect a redundant occurrence of an event, it is only counted once under the Insight Tag conversion and is deducted from the Conversions API conversion count. For example, if we detected that a “trial activation” was sent through both the Insight Tag and Conversions API, we will only count it under the “Insight Tag trial activation”.</li> </ul> <h2 id="deduplication-status-monitoring">Deduplication Status Monitoring</h2> <p>You must check that the Conversions API event and the Insight Tag event are showing up in your conversion breakdown and review the counts for each. Typically, the Insight Tag event will have a higher count if deduplication is working correctly.</p> <h2 id="setting-up-deduplication-on-a-browser">Setting Up Deduplication On a Browser</h2> <p>The setup steps differ depending on how you installed your Insight Tag or Image pixel. You can follow one of the following methods to set up deduplication on the browser:</p> <ul> <li>Manual installation method <ul> <li>Insight Tag Procedure</li> <li>Image Pixel Procedure</li> </ul> </li> <li>Tag Manager installation method <ul> <li>Insight Tag Procedure</li> <li>Image Pixel Procedure</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2 id="manual-installation-method">Manual Installation Method</h2> <h3 id="insight-tag-procedure">Insight Tag Procedure</h3> <ol> <li><p><strong>Page load conversions</strong><br> Assign the <code>eventId</code> to the <code>_linkedin_event_id</code> property on the global <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window" data-linktype="external">window</a> namespace before the Insight Tag base code executes.
