A clean TikTok Events API setup needs the correct Pixel code, access token, conversion event, exact page, and exact form or confirmation step. Simple CAPI turns those details into one protected installation script.

Quick answer

What to do

Choose Lead or Schedule, copy the TikTok Pixel code and Events API access token from the correct account, enter the exact conversion page and form selector, create the script, paste it once, and complete a real conversion while TikTok Events Manager is open.

1. Prepare the TikTok connection

Open the correct TikTok Events Manager account and confirm the Pixel belongs to the business and ad account you want to track.

Copy the Pixel code and create the Events API access token. Keep the access token in the protected setup, never in public page code.

  • Correct TikTok Ads account
  • Correct Pixel code
  • Events API access token
  • Permission to edit and test the data connection

2. Create the exact conversion

Select Lead for a completed inquiry form or Schedule for a completed appointment. Enter the exact public page URL and a unique form selector for Lead.

Simple CAPI rejects broad form selectors because a generic listener can fire on the wrong form.

  • One platform
  • One standard event
  • One exact page
  • One exact form or confirmation page
  • Actual conversion amount when available; default currency only as a fallback

3. Install and test the TikTok event

Paste the generated script on the saved conversion page and publish it. Complete the real form or booking while TikTok Events Manager is open.

Confirm the event name, page, source, browser and server delivery, matching event ID, and any campaign details available in the session.

  • Publish the live page
  • Use a fresh test lead
  • Complete the real conversion
  • Confirm Pixel and Events API delivery
  • Remove temporary test settings before launch
