How to Create Attribution Windows for your Ad Group

To create attribution windows:

  1. Log in to TikTok Ads Manager.

  2. Click Campaign.

  3. Enter Campaign details.

  4. Enter Ad Group details.

  5. Click Bidding and Optimization.

  6. In the Attribution settings section, click the edit icon.

  7. Enter Attribution window. You can choose from the following:

    • Click through attribution: Select 1 day, 7 day, 14 day, 28 day.

    • View through attribution: Select Off, 1 day, 7 day

  8. Enter Event count. You can choose from the following:
