How can I use Facebook Pixel? 

After setting up the integration, you can use Pixel to track key actions on your website, such as enrollments and sign-ups. For that, you can build custom audiences based on specific actions students take on your site. For example, when they visit a specific page or when they complete a purchase. 

As you get all this data, you can use it in your retargeting campaigns to reach users who have shown interest in your courses.
