How to connect your TikTok account
Last updated October 7, 2026Auf Deutsch lesen
Connect TikTokuplads launches ads to TikTok the same way it does to Meta - connect once, then launch your creatives in bulk.
Connect TikTok
- Open Configuration → Connections.
- In the TikTok Connection card, click Connect TikTok.
- You'll be sent to TikTok's authorization page. Sign in with the TikTok for Business account that has access to your advertiser accounts.
- Approve the requested permissions (Ad Account Management, Ads Management, Creative Management, Reporting).
- You'll land back on the Connections page and the card will show how many advertiser accounts are now available.
What gets connected
uplads stores an encrypted, long-lived access token and the list of advertiser accounts your TikTok login is authorized for. Those advertisers become selectable when you launch.
Permissions explained
| Permission | Used for |
|---|---|
| Ad Account Management | Listing your advertiser accounts |
| Ads Management | Creating campaigns, ad groups and ads |
| Creative Management | Uploading your videos and images |
| Reporting | Showing launch status and results |
We intentionally request only these four - the smallest set needed to launch - which also keeps TikTok's app review fast.
Disconnecting
- Go to Configuration → Connections and click Settings on the TikTok tile. The button is there as soon as the workspace has a TikTok login, even when no ad account is paired with it yet.
- Click Disconnect TikTok.
- A confirmation explains what stops working (launches, the TikTok Ads Manager, Analytics, automated rules and MCP access for these advertiser accounts) and reminds you that live ads keep running and spending in TikTok.
- Leave Also remove uplads from my TikTok for Business account ticked to invalidate the token at TikTok as well. uplads skips this step on its own while another workspace of yours still has a TikTok login, and tells you so.
- Click Disconnect TikTok to finish, or Cancel to back out with no changes.
After a successful disconnect you stay on Connections, the TikTok tile shows that it is no longer connected, a message confirms whether uplads was also removed at TikTok, and Connect TikTok is right there for a reconnect. Your ad accounts, their advertiser pairing, creatives, templates and launch history stay in uplads.
