TikTok UTM Parameters
Leverage the UTM tracking template by AnyTrack in order to improve your data collection, reporting and attribution.
UTM parameters are tags that you add to a URL. When someone clicks on a URL with UTM parameters, AnyTrack collects the visitor data and attributes the visit and subsequent event according to marketing channel rules and finally send the conversion events back to Google Analytics for tracking. AnyTrack automatically tracks UTM parameters from your TikTok Ads Campaigns and syncs them with your analytics and ad networks.
What are TikTok UTM Parameters?
TikTok UTM parameters are specific tags that you append to the end of your URL to track source, medium, campaign, term, and content for each visitor to your site.
