A few useful answers
Questions, answered.
How do I update the helper?
Updates are manual. Download the latest ZIP, extract it, and replace the extension files in the same folder you originally loaded. Open chrome://extensions and click Reload on ChatGPT Pixel Helper. Reload your website, then open the helper again.
Why does Chrome say it cannot find manifest.json?
Extract the ZIP first. In Load unpacked, select the chatgpt pixel helper folder containing manifest.json, popup.html, and the other extension files. If you see another folder inside your extracted download, open it to find the extension folder.
How do I remove it?
Open chrome://extensions, find ChatGPT Pixel Helper by Advarde, and click Remove. Reload any website tabs you inspected to end their observation sessions. You can then delete the extracted folder.
Does an observed event mean tracking is working?
It means the helper observed a browser call or resource. It does not prove OpenAI accepted the event or attributed a conversion. Confirm recent event receipts and reporting in your advertiser account or Advarde.
Why are my pixel ID or consent state unknown?
The helper can read calls still in the SDK queue and calls made after inspection begins. A loaded SDK may already have consumed earlier initialization or consent calls. Unknown means those values were not observed.
Does it change events or consent?
The helper observes the existing SDK function while preserving its arguments, return values, and errors. It does not send test conversions, set consent, or read customer fields. Stop inspection or reload the page to remove the observation hooks.
Which pages can I inspect?
Normal HTTP and HTTPS pages in Chrome. Browser settings, the Chrome Web Store, and other protected pages cannot be inspected. This release observes the main frame, not separate iframe checkouts.
