Your Meta pixel breaks silently. PixelSentry catches it before your ad spend burns.
A standing watchdog for Shopify merchants: we verify your pixel code generates tracking requests and that Meta actually receives usable signal, and alert you only on confirmed breakage, with the evidence.

The problem: breakage without a siren
Pixel and Conversions API tracking fails quietly. Shopify's 2026 Optimized pixel default can restrict app pixels with no dashboard alert, no email, no warning; a theme update or a consent banner can do the same. Your ads keep spending, Meta's optimization goes blind, and the first symptom most merchants see is weeks of dead ROAS.
The mechanism: three independent checks, standing watch
Synthetic storefront crawl
Every 6 hours a headless browser visits your home page and a product page exactly like a shopper (GET-only, no carts, no checkout) and verifies that your Meta pixel code loads and generates PageView and ViewContent requests, with the captured requests as evidence. Dataset Quality and the test-event path (below) verify that Meta is actually receiving usable signal.
Dataset Quality polling
Every 2 hours we read Meta's Dataset Quality API with your own self-serve token: Event Match Quality, Event Coverage, Deduplication, and Data Freshness per event. This verifies Meta actually receives and matches what your store sends.
Test-event receive path
One button fires a server test event with a test_event_code and confirms Meta accepted it in a live feed. Sixty seconds to prove the Conversions API receive path end to end.
Alerts fire only on confirmed breakage, corroborated across signals, with the raw evidence and a named likely cause embedded. When tracking recovers, you get the all-clear too.
The proof: public, verifiable, not testimonials
We will not show you fabricated quotes. Here is public evidence instead: Meta's own free Shopify channel app sits around 3.4 stars across roughly 3,900 reviews, with about one in four being one-star reports of tracking that silently stopped working (rating as of 2026-07-01; the live listing moves, so check it yourself). Meta's own diagnostics do not alert you when this happens; they only answer if you think to look. PixelSentry exists to be the alert layer, running alongside whatever setup you already have.
