The affiliate link URL must be included in your caption, correctly, when you posted it to Instagram. It can’t be edited quickly after, it needs to be included at time of posting. Then, GoToLinks will automatically pull the post AND the link, and make it visible for shoppers. This functionality is not yet available for TikTok due to TikTok restrictions. We are the only link in bio solution that offers this to save YOU time.

It works on Instagram, but not on TikTok. We do not auto-sync your links from TikTok in order to keep your account safe. Unfortunately activity like this may flag your account, and GoToLinks is always looking out for the Creator first and foremost.

We do not auto-sync your links from TikTok in order to keep your account safe. Unfortunately activity like this may flag your account, and GoToLinks is always looking out for the Creator first and foremost. If you log into your GoToLinks admin dashboard, you will see your TikTok posts all there after connecting your account. We do not automatically show your photos until a link is added, so you don’t miss out on sales. To make a post visible and add a link: 1) click into a post, 2) add a link, 3) click to make it VISIBLE, 4) save and close. Then that post will be made visible on your public view.

No problem—you can manually add a link to your post and mark the post as visible in your GoToLinks admin dashboard.

The red icon means there isn’t a link connected to your post and therefore your post isn’t visible to your shoppers on your GoToLinks. You can manually add a link to your post and mark the post as visible in your GoToLinks admin dashboard.

Yes, on your GoToLinks page that your shoppers will see, you can include links to anywhere in the buttons and posts. Plus, you can link multiple links in each post.

To change it, you can visit “Socials” on your admin dashboard navigation bar and click “Update Profile Photo” from another social account or upload a photo.

Meta Pixel

When you visit a brand’s website, open Instagram, and then immediately see an ad from that same brand, you probably think, “What a coincidence!”

It’s not a coincidence. It’s the Meta Pixel at work.

A Meta Pixel is a powerful tracking tool that collects data whenever someone visits your GoToLinks page. This lets you track page views on your link in bio, retarget those visitors with more ads, or reach people with similar interests. The pixel gathers valuable data that helps optimize your ads faster and more effectively.
With traditional link in bio tools, your hard-earned traffic gets sent straight to someone else’s website—meaning they collect the data, not you.

We built GoToLinks differently. You can embed your own Meta Pixel directly on your GoToLinks page, so you collect and own every bit of that traffic. This gives you the same optimization power that top advertisers enjoy—no website or custom tech setup required.

That means:

  • You own 100% of the data
  • You can retarget every visitor
  • You can build lookalike audiences
  • Your ads optimize faster and cost less

For the biggest return on your ad spend, you can run Meta ads (Traffic or Conversion campaigns—not just Instagram boosts) paired with both a Meta Pixel and the Conversions API on your GoToLinks link in bio to leverage that data.

They’re easy to set up and deliver the most accurate tracking data possible.

Together, GoToLinks + Meta Pixel integration gives you a smarter, more optimized advertising strategy that grows with your business.

  1. Go to Meta Events Manager at business.facebook.com/events_manager, or navigate manually: Meta Business Center → Ads Manager → Events Manager. Make sure you’re logged into the correct business Facebook account.
  2. Create your Pixel by clicking “Connect Data” in the top left or select an existing Pixel from the Overview screen.
  3. Uncheck the box requesting a free conversion.
  4. Select your ad account, it may show this later or after the previous step.
  5. Enter a Pixel Name (e.g., Your Name GTL Pixel).
  6. If you are asked, no category selection is required.
  7. Note: if you are prompted to do a CAPI set up selection, try to either skip it or exit out of the pop up. Your pixel will save and show later or the next day. Don’t do this step here, there is an easier way to do the CAPI below.
  8. You will see a Pixel ID (a long number) generated on the screen. It may take some time, refresh the page. Once it loads, copy and screenshot this number.
  9. Enter your Pixel ID in your GoToLinks admin dashboard. Select Pixel in your admin navigation.

Then, you need to create a Conversion API to run in tandem with your pixel for the most accurate data for the most optimized results. Most businesses now use both together for the most accurate tracking. Learn more about Conversion API.

The Conversion API (CAPI) should run alongside your Pixel for the most accurate tracking and optimized ad performance. Most businesses now use both together.

  6. Enter your Conversion API ID in your GoToLinks admin dashboard. Select Pixel in your admin navigation.
  1. Go to Events Manager, then select your Data Set.
  2. Click PageView under the graph.
  3. You’ll see another graph with two lines—Browser and Server.
