Configure destination for 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.

Configure credentials¶
Configure credentials for TikTok Ads before adding a destination.
Important
TikTok Advertiser Accounts are required to use OAuth. Confirm that the account that will be used to authorize to TikTok Ads has the TikTok Ad Account Operator or TikTok Ad Account Admin permission level. OAuth will not work if your account has TikTok Ad Account Analyst permission.
An individual with access to TikTok Ads should use SnapPass to securely share “refresh token” details with the individual who will configure Amperity.

Advertiser not found¶
Amperity may only send data to an advertiser account ID that already exists within TikTok Ads. When Amperity cannot find the advertiser account ID within TikTok Ads, this may be due to any of the following:
An Amperity configuration issue related to the destination or the data template that is associated with that destination.
An advertiser account ID that is not associated with an approved advertising account in TikTok Ads.
To resolve this error, determine the cause of the configuration issue.
Open the Amperity Destinations page in a new browser tab.
Review the configuration for the destination and data template that is associated with this workflow.
Open TikTok Business Center and verify that the advertising account exists, is approved, and has a valid advertiser account ID.
Update the configuration for Amperity to match the correct advertiser account ID.
Return to the workflow action, and then click Resolve to retry this workflow.
Invalid credentials¶
The credentials that are defined in Amperity are invalid.
To resolve this error, verify that the credentials required by this workflow are valid.
Open the Credentials page.
Review the details for the credentials used with this workflow. Update the credentials for TikTok Ads if required.
Return to the workflow action, and then click Resolve to retry this workflow.
Missing advertiser permissions¶
The business user that is associated with your TikTok Ads account is the same business user that provides credentials for Amperity to manage audiences in TikTok Ads.
This business user must have permission to manage audiences, which requires that business user to be assigned to one of the following roles:
Admin
Operator (recommended)
To resolve this error, verify that the business user is assigned to the Operator role.
Open TikTok Business Center .
Verify the role to which the business user that provides credentials for Amperity is assigned. The business user must be assigned to the Operator role.
Open the Amperity Credentials page in a new tab, and regenerate the authorization link for the business user who is assigned to the Operator role.
Return to the workflow action, and then click Resolve to retry this workflow.
