How can I use LinkedIn pixel on a specific event in Angular 5 app? I got this crappy code from our SEO team:

<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none;" alt="" src="https://dc.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=XXXXXX&conversionId=XXXXXX&fmt=gif" />

And it should run when a user completes registration. How can I fire it from code when the HTTP call is resolved. Facebook as way better documentation.

  • Why is that code crappy? It looks like standard pixel tracking to me. I don't know much about SPAs, but I expect you can insert HTML into the DOM with them whenever you need to. – Stephen Ostermiller♦ Oct 10 at 12:52
  • Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Facebook has this fbq() function that I can use on event thats why I think its way easier to use from js code. My case looks like this: User is filling registration form hits submit - then if the http call was succesfull I need to send this pixel but adding it then doesn't work because the view is already changed. – Piotr Smyda Oct 10 at 12:59
  • Maybe document.write('<img ....? – Stephen Ostermiller♦ Oct 10 at 13:08

Thanks for all the input Stephen. I have finally got a solution. I've placed a tag like this <div [innerHtml]='linkedinPixel'> and am filling this variable with a proper link via service.
