Facebook Attribution is a measuring tool that is designed to give marketers a more universal view of the customer’s journey. Therefore, leading to smarter decision making. Below are some features of Facebook's Attribution tool:

Understand which ads are generating action: Along the consumer journey, you can assign conversion credits to marketing touchpoints. This allows you to have a better understanding of what is really generating your business outcomes.

Facebook's family of apps and services: Use Facebook's tracking pixel, app events, and offline conversions to observe performance outcomes.

Measure across devices, publishers and channels: Track conversion paths that take place on multiple devices and view performance by channel. Finally, use Publisher to see what is generating conversions.
