A step-by-step guide to exporting Segments to TikTok
Please Note
- Before exporting your user data to TikTok, kindly ensure you have integrated your TikTok account to your WebEngage dashboard. You can refer to this guide to integrate the same successfully.
- TikTok Segment Export is currently available on US and KSA server dashboards
Introduction
TikTok allows third-party platforms like WebEngage, to export to a limited pool of details to any TikTok Account in a specific format. For the same reason, the format of the user details listed below could be different from the User Attributes shown under a User Profile or other sections of your dashboard.
TikTok allows you to connect with new customers and retarget existing customers to grow your business. By integrating WebEngage with your TikTok, you will be able to target ads to the users who have already visited your website.
Details Exported
Here's a list of all the user details that are exported to your TikTok Account:
User Details | Corresponding User Attribute in WebEngage | What It Means |
---|---|---|
EMAIL | EMAIL | User's registered email address |
PHONE | PHONE | User's registered phone number |
MDIDs | MOBILE_DEVICE_ID | ID of a mobile device registered to the user in their WebEngage user profile |
How to Export
Please Note
A segment must include a minimum of 1000 users for it to be eligible for export to TikTok, as per TikTok's guidelines.
WebEngage only supports exporting Live Segments currently.
Step 1: Initiate Export
Once you create a segment in your dashboard, you can export it to multiple TikTok Ad Accounts through the following sections:
- Navigate to the Channels section of your WebEngage Dashboard and click on TikTok dashboard and create a segment.

When exporting a segment to TikTok Ads, you can choose from two types:
