How to create a TikTok Ads campaign with AI (one video, no wasted credits)

0:00Introduction

In this tutorial you'll create a video ad campaign for TikTok. Just like Meta or Google, you request it in the chat, from the strategist.

0:12Ask the strategist for the campaign

Start a new conversation. Say you want a campaign on TikTok, with goal, segment, product and monthly budget. Keep in mind TikTok requires a minimum daily budget. Send it. If something's missing, or it wants to confirm your segment or product, it'll ask. Just answer. Once everything's clear, the agent shows you a summary of brand, segment, product, goal and budget.

If something's off, type what to change. If it looks right, click Continue to generate the strategy.

0:49Review and approve the plan

This is the plan. If your budget falls below TikTok's minimum, the agent raises it and tells you here. You'll also see the estimated cost in credits. Click Approve and execute so CustomIQ sets up and researches the campaign. When the research is done, the campaign shows up in the summary, where you can open its details and check the strategy before moving on.

1:16Choose your videos and save credits

Before generating anything, check what's going to be produced. Click Creatives on the campaign. These are the videos the research proposes, each with its ad text and the idea behind it. Nothing has been generated yet. Every video costs credits, and you don't need several to start. Remove the ones you don't want. We'll keep just one video. Now only one video is active.

The ones you removed won't be generated, so you won't pay for them. You can restore them later. When you're happy with the selection, click Done.

1:56Generate the videos

Now click Approve and generate assets. The agent writes the script and generates only the video you kept. That uses credits, but nothing is published on TikTok yet. Here are your videos. Before deploying, you can ask in the chat to change a caption, drop a video or add a new one.

2:17Deploy to TikTok

And here's the last step. Clicking Deploy campaigns publishes the campaign to your TikTok ad account and starts spending your budget every day. Only do it when you're ready. Done. Your campaign is waiting in Campaigns, ready to deploy. TikTok bills your ad spend directly.
