Send email lists to TikTok Ads¶

Note

This topic contains information about configuring a destination that sends query results to TikTok Ads using orchestrations. To configure a destination that sends audiences to TikTok Ads using campaigns see this topic .

Custom audiences help find people who already know about or have engaged with your brand. Use custom audiences for re-marketing, finding potential repeat customers, and finding lookalike audiences.

Important

A custom audience must have at least 1000 members in TikTok Ads before it can be used in an ad group.

Caution

To refresh audiences from Amperity, new one-time segment deliveries need to be created and uploaded to the client’s TikTok Ads account.

Note

Amperity uses a combination of endpoints in the TikTok Ads Segment API to verify existing segments , add or update the list of customers to match the list of customers sent from Amperity, and then map multiple advertising account IDs to the same business account .

Changes to audience mapping are not immediately available in TikTok Ads. Allow for up to 10 hours after the point at which Amperity has finished sending audience updates for them to be available.
