Let's walk you through all the details:
Integration Status
Depending on the Tiktok authentication status, a Tiktok Account can have any of the following states - Active and Inactive. Let's walk you through each one.
Active
This indicates that the TikTok account is successfully integrated with WebEngage. This means that all your Recurring Segment Exports are being synced periodically and new segments can be exported anytime you like!
Inactive
Indicates that TikTok Authorization is pending for an account for which Account ID has been added. This could happen if:
-
You deny permission to WebEngage or cancel the authorization.
-
You don't have sufficient permissions to connect the TikTok account to a third-party platform.
-
The email address used for authentication is different from the one registered on TikTok dashboard.
Authorizing Integration
We highly recommend that you complete authority verification immediately after adding Tiktok account details to your dashboard. However, you may need to perform this step separately if:
Case 1: You were unable to authenticate the integration immediately after entering the details of your TikTok account.
Case 2: TikTok access has been revoked for the user who initially authorized integration with WebEngage.
As shown below, select Authorize from the Actions menu and follow these steps to enable data export. Please ensure that you have appropriate access as mentioned in TikTok Authorization step above before proceeding.
Removing Account
You can choose to Remove a TikTok account anytime you like. Doing so will Pause Recurring Segment Exports for all Active accounts and will prevent you from exporting new segments. However, all data exported to the account previously will remain unaffected.
