Configure Settings

Go to the Connector Marketplace and add a new connector. For general instructions on how to add a connector, see About Connectors.

After adding the connector, configure the following settings:

• Access Token
  The Access Token that is configured in TikTok.
• Pixel ID
  If you already have a TikTok pixel integrated for the website, you can use the existing pixel code. You can find pixel_code by logging in your TikTok ads manager account. We recommend that you create one Pixel per website.

Deduplication for TikTok Pixel and TikTok Conversions for Web Events

To configure this connector to receive event IDs from the TikTok Pixel tag in your Tealium iQ Tag Management account, look for event attributes using the following naming convention:

Format: tiktok_event_id_<TIKTOK_EVENT>_<TAG_UID>

For example, an event from a tag with a UID of 174 would send the following attribute value:

tiktok_event_id_Checkout_174`

You can find your tag’s UID in the Tealium iQ Tags table or the tag details screen:

For each event ID that matches the above format, configure a separate action. Map the event-specific Event ID attribute to Event ID and map the corresponding event name to Event Name.

For example:

Tealium Attribute/Value	TikTok Parameter
tiktok_event_id_Purchase	Event ID
“Purchase” (Custom Text)	Event Name

For more information, see TikTok Pixel Tag Setup Guide.

Automatic Deduplication

If multiple events with the same Event Source ID (event_source_id), Event Type (for example, AddToCart), and Event ID (event_id) are received, TikTok will use the first one and discard any later events received within 48 hours of the first event. If a later event is received within 5 minutes of the first event, TikTok attempts to merge its data into the first event. For example, if the first event does not include User Email (user.email) but a later duplicate event (received within 5 minutes) contains this information, TikTok merges the email data into the first event.
