TikTok Ads

AdsOAuthTikTok Ads developer docs ↗

TikTok Ads connects through the TikTok Marketing API (TikTok for Business). You authorize Modiva against your advertiser account to create campaigns and read reporting.

Before you start

  • A TikTok for Business / Ads Manager account.
  • Advertiser access to the account you want to manage.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to Modiva

    Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.

    Open Connections → New connection

    Select TikTok Ads

    Click the TikTok Ads card. Modiva redirects you to TikTok Ads's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on TikTok Ads, never on Modiva.

    Authorize Modiva on TikTok Ads

    Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.

    You're connected

    TikTok Ads now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect TikTok Ads, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from TikTok Ads or by disconnecting in Modiva.

  • Read ad accounts and campaigns
  • Create and manage campaigns
  • Read spend and conversion reporting

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my TikTok Ads password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the TikTok Ads row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside TikTok Ads's own app settings.
