TikTok Ads URL parameters tracking setup
Enable precise TikTok Ads click tracking by configuring URL macros in TikTok Ads Manager.
Why configure ?
Without this setup, Metrikia captures the TikTok click (ttclid) but cannot tell which exact creative drove the conversion. With this setup, every TikTok click forwards the exact creative ID.
Prerequisites
- TikTok Ads account connected to Metrikia (Settings > Integrations > TikTok Ads)
- Admin access on your TikTok Ads Manager account
Steps
1. Open the configuration menu in Metrikia
- Go to /app/settings?s=integrations
- On the TikTok Ads row, click the "..." menu
- Click "Configure URL"
- Click Copy to grab the recommended template
2. Paste in TikTok Ads Manager
- Sign in to ads.tiktok.com
- Open your ad account
- Go to Tools > Tracking > URL Parameters
- Paste the copied template at account level
- Click Save
3. Verify propagation
Within 24h, new TikTok clicks appear in /app/attribution with the precise creative name.
What does the template do ?
It automatically appends to every click :
utm_source=tiktok: traffic sourceutm_medium=paid_social: paid channelutm_campaign=__CAMPAIGN_NAME__: campaign nameutm_content=__AID__: exact TikTok creative IDutm_term=__AID_NAME__: creative name
__AID__ is a TikTok macro : replaced at click time by the real creative ID.
Common issues
- "Tracking does not work" : the change applies only to new clicks.
- "My existing template has macros" : add ours in addition, separated by
&.
