Events Manager Overview Reporting for Web Events

The Overview tab displays high-level web event details to help you verify web measurement setup and monitor activity.

  • Event Type: The type of event you are measuring on your website, like View Content, Add to Cart, or Complete Payment.

  • Event Details: Parameter, matching, and event deduplication information. Learn more about Event Details modules below.

  • Diagnostics: The diagnostics column contains an icon for event_types with issues that need further attention.

  • Event Status: Status of the event based on activity. Active indicates that an event was shared with TikTok in the last 7 days, while No recent activity indicates that an event has not been shared with TikTok in the last 7 days.

  • Connection Method: Indicate if the event is shared via browser pixel or server connection.

  • Total Events: Total number of events (attributed and unattributed) shared with your integration method via the connection method.

  • Last Received: Most recent hour TikTok received the event. This can help you verify that web events being shared are being recorded by TikTok.

Test Events

Test web events in real-time using a live test environment that mimics how your website will show up in the TikTok app. After scanning the QR code (pixel) or sending the test_event payload (Events API), you can verify events are configured and triggered as expected on your website. As each event rule is triggered, an event will be recorded and displayed in real-time, along with details associated with the event. Learn more about test events.
