Optimisation event
The action an ad set asks Meta to get as many of as possible, such as purchases, leads or landing page views. It defines a "result".
Also called performance goal, conversion event
Meta delivers to people likely to take that action. Rarer events (purchases) give a stronger signal but fewer results; earlier events (add to cart) give more results and help ad sets leave learning.
