TikTok Audiences Destination

Destination Info

The TikTok Audiences destination enables advertisers to send Engage audiences to TikTok as Custom Audiences using TikTok’s Segment API.

By using Segment’s TikTok Audiences destination, you can increase traffic and drive conversions with hyper-relevant ads that promote product discovery.

Getting started

Prerequisites

  1. Before connecting to the TikTok Audiences destination, you must have a TikTok Ads Manager account.

  2. You must also have an audience segment created in your TikTok Advertising account. You can send Engage audiences to an existing audience segment, or you can create a new audience in TikTok. Please take note of the audience_id as this will be required to send Engage audiences to TikTok. See TikTok’s Create/Delete an audience segment for instructions on how to create a TikTok audience segment.

Connect the TikTok Audiences destination

  1. From the Segment web app, navigate to Engage > Audiences. Ensure you are in the Engage space you plan to use with the TikTok Audiences destination. Either choose an existing Engage audience or create a new one. This is the audience you plan to send to TikTok.

  2. Navigate to Engage > Engage Settings and click Destinations. Please ensure you are still in the correct Engage space.

  3. Search for “TikTok Audiences” and select the destination. Click Configure TikTok Audiences.

  4. On the Select Source screen, your Engage space should already be selected as the source. Click Confirm Source.

  5. On the Destination Settings tab, name your destination and authenticate with TikTok Audiences using OAuth.

  6. Once authenticated, toggle “Enable Destination” on and click Save Changes.

  7. Navigate to the Mappings tab, click New Mapping, and select Add Users.

  8. Under Select mappings, select the TikTok “Advertiser ID” of the audience segment you want to add users to. Input the audience_id of that audience segment under “Audience ID.” Note: A separate mapping must be created for each audience segment you plan to send Engage audiences to.

Once you’ve created the audience using the name of Segment’s audience key, you can get the Audience ID from TikTok’s Assets>Audiences page. You’ll also find the Advertised ID, noted by aadvid, over the TikTok URL.

  1. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 to also set up a Remove Users mapping.

  2. Navigate back to Engage > Audiences and click on the audience from Step 1.

  3. Click Add Destinations and select the TikTok Audiences destination you just created. In the settings that appear in the side panel, toggle the Send Track option on and do not change the Audience Entered/Audience Exited event names. Click Save Settings.

The setup is complete and the audience will start syncing to TikTok. The audience will appear in your TikTok Ads Manager account under Assets > Audiences. Please note that it can take 24-48 hours for users to appear in TikTok.

To sync additional audiences from your Engage space, create a separate mapping in the TikTok Audiences destination. Navigate to Connections > Destinations, search and select the TikTok Audiences destination, and follow Steps 7-11 above.

No settings available. The destination may not be publicly visble.
