That is the one of most popular Facebook CAPI errors. This error means that you are not sending some deduplication keys for your server events. Facebook uses these deduplication keys: event name, event ID, _fbp and external ID. 

Event ID parameters are causing this error > 90% of the time. Check if you are sending an event ID for Facebook Pixel and Facebook Conversion API. This event ID should be the same for the browser and server event. In this case, FB will see the same event name and event ID and start deduplication.
