TikTok Ads

Article: 000055187
Updated: April 16, 2026

With TikTok Ads, you can run ads around the web that trigger a form when clicked, allowing you to capture a lead’s information for future marketing campaigns

When you connect your TikTok Ads account to your Constant Contact account, you can pull in those leads and use Constant Contact’s marketing toolsincluding emails, automations, SMS marketing, and more—to engage those leads.

The TikTok Ads integration is one-way; it syncs new leads added to your TikTok Ads forms into Constant Contact. However, changes made to your leads in the Constant Contact platform will not sync back with TikTok Ads. The only activity in the Constant Contact platform that syncs back with TikTok Ads is unsubscribes

 

 

Existing TikTok integrations

The TikTok and TikTok Ads integrations are different. TikTok Ads are a feature of TikTok Business accounts, which are separate from Personal or Creator accounts. 

If you have connected a TikTok Personal or Creator account using your TikTok integration, but have since switched your TikTok account to a TikTok Business account, you will need to disconnect the current TikTok integration and then connect the TikTok Ads integration with your Business account. Duplicate contacts will not be uploaded. 

How to connect your TikTok Ads account

If you have already run an ad and gathered some leads, you can integrate them into Constant Contact.
