UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS

TikTok Attribution For Partners

Connect your TikTok ad campaigns with Everflow to track conversions accurately, optimize performance, and make smarter advertising decisions with real-time data.

‍Overview

Supercharge your TikTok advertising with Everflow's powerful integration that bridges the gap between clicks and conversions.

This seamless connection lets you push valuable conversion data directly from Everflow to TikTok through their API, giving you visibility that TikTok's native tracking simply can't match.

The result? Better ad targeting, improved ROAS, and the ability to scale what's working while cutting what isn't.

Troubleshooting

Viewing the API Response from TikTok

To view the API response from TikTok to determine if there is an error in the response, please go to Reporting > Partner Postback and find the TikTok Postback that fired.

Select the conversion options > View Debug Info:

And then you will be able to review the Server Response from TikTok:

Required ttclid is missing from click parameters:

TikTok will only receive a successful response if a ttclid is included in the click details. This can be viewed under the click details > Parameters of the click that was made:

If an affiliate is using direct linking, the ttclid will automatically be passed when a user clicks on the TikTok Ad. If they are using direct linking, and there is no ttclid, then the click did not originate from TikTok traffic.

If the partner is using a redirect tracking link, they will need to ensure &ttclid={ttclid} is appended to their Partner Tracking Link used in the Ad Placement.

Heads Up! Direct Linking is required by TikTok and using Redirect Links will put the Meta Business Account at risk of being flagged by TikTok.
