TikTok Events API — recover attribution on purchases the Pixel misses.

Auth: OAuth 2.0Setup time: 10 minutesPlan: All plans

TikTok's Events API sends conversion events server-side from Layer Insights directly to TikTok — bypassing the signal loss caused by browser restrictions and TikTok Pixel limitations. This gives TikTok's algorithm better purchase signals to optimize your campaigns with, particularly for users on iOS who've opted out of tracking.

What you unlock by connecting

Recovered TikTok conversions

Purchases missed by the TikTok Pixel are recovered via server-side Events API delivery.

Better campaign optimization

TikTok's algorithm uses your conversion events to find buyers. More signal = lower CPMs and CPAs.

Accurate ROAS reporting

Compare TikTok-reported ROAS against Layer Insights pixel-measured ROAS in Attribution Intelligence.
