TikTok Ads and Paid Lens: product overview
TikTok is an upper-funnel channel that gets measured with lower-funnel tools. Last-click reporting almost always undersells it, while platform-reported conversions almost always oversell it. Both numbers are visible; neither is a decision.
Paid Lens imports campaign, ad group, ad and creative performance through read-only OAuth, then evaluates creative decay, testing velocity and cost per outcome against your other channels on standardized definitions.
Where a CRM or analytics connection exists, TikTok's contribution is reported against assisted conversions and pipeline, which is the only fair way to judge a demand-generation channel.

Common use cases
Track creative testing velocity
Paid Lens measures how many new creatives are entering rotation versus how fast existing ones decay, and flags when the pipeline is too thin to sustain spend.
Detect decay before efficiency collapses
Falling view-through paired with rising CPM is surfaced as an early warning, not a post-mortem.
Value upper-funnel contribution fairly
Assisted conversion analysis shows what TikTok influenced rather than only what it closed.

Why connect TikTok Ads
Every connection raises the quality of the recommendations Paid Lens can make. Read more about how access is scoped and protected on our security page.
Paid Lens cannot change budgets, pause campaigns, or edit records. Tokens are encrypted and can be revoked at any time.
Creative decay is measurable
TikTok performance is a creative-supply problem, and supply problems are visible in the data well before they hit results.
Fair cross-channel comparison
Judging TikTok with the same last-click rule as branded search guarantees the wrong answer.
Read-only
No campaign, budget or creative changes are made by Paid Lens.
TikTok Ads integration FAQ
Does Paid Lens import my TikTok video files?
No. Creative performance and metadata are imported; the assets themselves stay in TikTok Ads Manager.
Is TikTok Events API data supported?
Yes, where it is configured on your account.
How should I judge TikTok if it rarely gets last click?
Use the assisted contribution and blended efficiency views. Paid Lens reports both, and the recommendations account for the channel's position in the funnel.
