Domain stuck on “Inactive”
A domain stays Inactive until Default receives its first event, so start by generating one — load a page on that domain yourself. If it still doesn’t go Active:- Confirm the install snippet is in the
<head>of every page you expect traffic from — see Set up the Pixel and Forms SDK for the exact snippet and placement. - Confirm the public key in the snippet matches the domain you’re looking at.
- Check for ad blockers or a content-security policy blocking
pixel.default.com— try loading the page in a private/incognito window with extensions disabled. - Confirm the page you’re testing isn’t one the Pixel skips by default.
/login,/checkout,/accountand similar paths are excluded, so testing only on those pages produces no events at all. See Privacy & Data Handling. - Look in browser devtools for a request to
pixel.default.com. If the script loads but the domain stays Inactive, the key is the most likely culprit.
A form isn’t showing up as “Awaiting approval”
- Make sure the domain the form lives on has been added and is Active (see above).
- Confirm the form isn’t excluded from capture — check the default-excluded paths, a
<meta name="default:pixel" content="noform">tag on the page, and adata-default-ignoreattribute on the form or any element wrapping it. See Privacy & Data Handling. - If it’s a password-gated page, note that the Pixel treats a bare CMS gate form (Webflow’s
page/pass/path) as a gate, not a lead form. The real form is detected once the page is public. - Visit the page with the form yourself once — detection can take a few minutes to register on low-traffic pages.
