In the console tab, make sure there are no errors displayed when the function for sending the beacon (e.g. sendAutoSearchEvent) is called.

  • If there is error output, the beacon was not sent. The error output describes the reason the beacon did not pass validation. This is usually from missing properties.

Note: In the network tab, a 200 response from the /wisdom/v2/pixel endpoint when the function for sending the beacon is called indicates that the beacon was sent to GroupBy servers.

  • If there is no Img request with a 200 response from the /wisdom/v2/pixel endpoint, the beacon was not sent.

Network tab - no requests

  • If there is at least one Img request with a 200 response from the /wisdom/v2/pixel endpoint, the beacon was sent. Larger beacons are split into multiple pixel segments as they are sent.
