TikTok Ads is TikTok's online advertising platform. It lets marketers run product ads to target custom audiences and optimize their campaigns.

RudderStack supports TikTok Ads as a destination where you can send your event data seamlessly.

Getting started

Before configuring TikTok Ads as a destination in RudderStack, verify if the source platform is supported by TikTok Ads by referring to the table below:

Once you have confirmed that the source platform supports sending events to TikTok Ads, follow these steps:

• From your RudderStack dashboard, add the source. Then, from the list of destinations, select TikTok Ads.

Connection settings

To successfully configure TikTok Ads as a destination, you need to configure the following settings:

• Access Token: You need to generate the Access Token (also known as long-term access token) by following the steps mentioned in Authorization and Authentication topics in TikTok documentation.

• Pixel Code: You can find the Pixel Code by referring to TikTok documentation.

• Hash Contextual User Properties (SHA-256): If this setting is enabled, RudderStack will hash the contextual user properties like external_id, email, phone_number from the raw format to the SHA-256 format.

Track

The track call lets you capture user events along with the properties associated with them.

A sample track call is shown below:

Copy
rudderanalytics.track(
  "Checkout Started", {
    eventId: "1616318632825_357",
    context: {
      ad: {
        callback: "123ATXSfe"
      }
    },
    currency: "USD",
    value: 46.0
  }, {
    externalId: [{
      type: "tiktokExternalId",
      id: "1234"
    }]
  }
);

RudderStack maps the following E-Commerce event names to the corresponding TikTok Ads event names:
