## The prompt

```text
I am about to run paid ads to my CartFlows funnels. Show me the tracking set up in CartFlows for Facebook, Google Analytics, Google Ads, TikTok, Pinterest and Snapchat. For each one, tell me if the ID is filled in and if the purchase event is on. Tell me if a funnel replaces my store checkout. List my published funnels. Do not change anything. Then tell me what is missing before I spend money on ads.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: I am about to run paid ads to my CartFlows funnels…

Assistant: Facebook and Google Analytics are set up with purchase events on. Google Ads has an ID but no purchase event. TikTok is off. A funnel replaces your store checkout. Calling: `cartflows/get-integration-settings`, `cartflows/get-store-checkout`, `cartflows/list-flows`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Before you run Google Ads, turn on the purchase event for Google Ads in CartFlows. If you plan TikTok ads, add the pixel ID and turn on its purchase event.
