This article covers how to connect TikTok Lead Generation ads to Mailchimp.

Before you begin

Before you integrate TikTok lead generation with Mailchimp, make sure you have:

  • Created at least one Instant Form on TikTok Ads Manager.

  • Admin access to the ad account you will be using for integration. Learn about asset level permissions.

  • You’ll need to decide how the integration syncs your leads in Mailchimp

How it works

To complete the integration, make sure you are signed into both TikTok for Business and Mailchimp accounts to configure your sync settings. First, select the specific TikTok Instant Form you want to use as the lead source. Then, choose the destination Mailchimp audience where these leads will be sent. You will also determine the subscription status (for example, subscribed or non-subscribed) that Mailchimp should apply to these new contacts.


The final step is to map your data fields. This important step ensures that information from your TikTok Instant Form is correctly matched to the corresponding fields in your Mailchimp audience.


Once saved, the integration will be active. New leads generated from your Instant Form will be automatically pushed to your connected Mailchimp audience. This sync runs approximately every 15 minutes to keep your contact lists up to date.
