DEVELOPER MAY BE REQUIRED
The following Universal Ads prerequisite includes providing URI schemes and other components that may require a developer:
DEVELOPER REQUIRED
The following Universal Ads prerequisites involve app code changes:
If you already have your TikTok App ID - please provide it here, if not - just input 'N/A" to activate the integration.
Generate TikTok for Business tracking links and use them to Generate a New App on TikTok dashboard.
When Branch measures a conversion (install or other event), it determines which ad network or partner is responsible for generating the action, then attributes credit to the proper partner accordingly. Branch notifies the Ad partner of these events via postbacks which are turned on when you enable any Universal Ads integrated partner.
Basic postbacks will automatically be activated for events like Install and Purchase when you enable your ad partner.
Branch’s postback system is highly customizable; you can set up postbacks for specific events, as well as specific subsections of events, filtered by link data, user data or event properties.
You can then add additional postbacks, for example, if you wanted to add postbacks for custom events that are specific to your app like Account Created. You can also edit postbacks if there's additional data you really need to pass along to your ad partner.
Additional Information Required
TikTok for Business requires the TikTok Event ID that corresponds to each postback. Please make sure you provide these and click Save.
Talk to your Account Manager at TikTok for Business to learn how to access your TikTok Event ID.
Troubleshoot Postbacks
There may be times when you need to reset a partner's settings; i.e. when a partner updates their postback templates or when perhaps you've made a mistake during partner setup. Resetting a partner's settings allows you to re-enable the partner integration with the correct information to accurately measure and attribute conversion.
Note, by resetting your partner settings, this will:
- Disable the ad partner
- Clear out all of your saved credentials and postbacks that are already setup
- Return the ad partner to its basic configuration

By default, Branch automatically appends partner-specific link parameters during the link creation process. When a user clicks on the link, TikTok for Business provides the appropriate parameter values which Branch ingests and uses for attribution and reporting purposes.
Below are the link parameters that Branch automatically appends for this ad partner:
Branch employs Attribution Windows at both the app level and the ad partner level. When you enable TikTok for Business, Branch uses the attribution windows you've selected at the app level.
However, you can choose to use the attribution windows provided specifically by TikTok for Business. To do so, toggle the Use Ad Partner Attribution Windows to on. Please keep in mind that only conversions attributed to this ad partner will use these specific windows; otherwise, the app-level windows prevail.
Testing your configuration is a very important step that we highly recommend you take the time to complete before going live with marketing campaigns.

Analytics Tag | Description | Used for |
---|---|---|
Cost | Total cost | Sum of cost |
ROI | Return on investment. Profit as a percentage of cost | (Revenue-Cost) * 100 |
ROAS | Return on Ad Spent. Revenue as a percentage of cost | Revenue/Cost |
eCPI | Effective cost per install. The total cost of the campaign divided by the number of installs driven. | Cost / Installs (eo_installs) |
eCPC | Effective cost per click. The total cost of the campaign divided by the number of clicks. | Cost / Clicks (eo_clicks) |
eCPM | Effective cost per milli (thousand impressions). The total cost of the campaign divided by the number of impressions / 1000 | Cost / (Impressions / 1000) (eo_impressions) |
eCPA | Effective cost per purchase | Cost / Purchases |
NOTE: All cost data is ingested in local currency and then translated to USD on the dashboard using the exchange rate for that currency on the day the data is stored. In effect, this means the dashboard shows the amount that campaign cost converted to USD at the time it ran.
