How to generate a TikTok App ID

Last updated: September 2024

With TikTok App ID, you can confirm ownership of your apps and have more control of your data. After you generate and implement TikTok App ID, there will be a Verfied label for your app.

Before getting started

Before generating a TikTok App ID:

  • To ensure only owners of TikTok ad accounts can verify apps, only Admins in the TikTok ad account can generate the TikTok App ID.

  • You may be required to send unattributed events to TikTok to complete the implementation. This specifically applies to accounts that want to run iOS 15 Dedicated campaigns. Turn on the unattributed events in your MMP for TikTok. You may turn this off once the Verified logo appears on your TikTok app page in Events Manager.

  • On the MMP side, there will be a single TikTok App ID input box per operating system (Android/iOS). All settings are per app and per operating system level. You must enter the iOS TikTok App ID in the MMP dashboard for the iOS version of their app, and the Android TikTok App ID in the MMP dashboard for the Android version.

If your app is integrated into multiple TikTok ad accounts, you will need to enter the TikTok app IDs from all relevant ad accounts as comma separated values (tiktik_app_id1, tiktik_app_id2,...) into the MMP TikTok App ID field.

How to generate a TikTok App ID

To generate a TikTok App ID:

  1. Go To Events Manager.

  2. Click on your app.

  3. Go to Tracking Settings and click Copy the TikTok App ID.

Note: Your status will change from Unverified to Pending Verification. Your status will remain pending until you have entered the TikTok App ID on your MMP dashboard, and TikTok has received at least one event with the TikTok App ID.

4. Paste the TikTok App ID into your MMP dashboard.

After implementing the TikTok App ID and sending an attributed or unattributed event to TikTok, you should see the Verified label appear on your app page in Events Manager.

Note: If you do not see your MMP listed, the solution is not yet available. For MMPs that require TikTok App ID in their UI and are not yet available, enter "N/A".

If you are experiencing issues generating a TikTok App ID:

  • TikTok needs to receive an event to verify the advertiser. You can send either an attributed or anattributed event to TikTok. Advertisers that are not spending or blocked from spending must turn on unattributed events to get verified.

  • "Pending Verification" means that you have generated the TikTok App ID. You must make sure the generated TikTok App ID is entered correctly in the MMP dashboard.

  • Ensure you are using the TikTok App ID, not your App Store ID, TikTok Adv ID, or any other identification.
