Add to custom audience
Overview
Use this action in a segment triggered or recurring flow, or a Journey, to add contacts to a new or existing Custom Audience.
Considerations
- Identifiers available to sync are email address, hashed email address, phone number,IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) and GAID (Google Advertiser ID).
- TikTok for business requires 1,000 custom audience matches to create a Custom Audience, however there's no way to confirm your match rate prior to choosing a segment.
Why 1000 matches?
- TikTok doesn't allow ads to run against audiences with a very small number of people due to privacy concerns and to ensure ad effectiveness.
- Running ads to a small audience may expose personal information, go against privacy policies, and not yield desired results due to insufficient data for optimization.
- Contacts are not removed from the Custom Audience when they exit the Journey. Be sure to also include the Remove Contact from Custom Audience action to your Journey.
- It takes one hour minimum to see your contacts added in TikTok.
