Setting up Conversion API and Facebook Access token

A Facebook access token is a unique string of characters that allows an application or website to access a user's Facebook data or perform actions on their behalf. When a user logs into an application or website using their Facebook account, the application requests an access token from Facebook. The access token is then used to make requests to Facebook's API on behalf of the user.
