Twilio Segment

What is Twilio Segment?

Twilio Segment is a customer data platform (CDP) that collects, cleans, unifies and activates customer data across an organization's tech stack. Using a single API and a consistent data model, it gathers first-party data from websites, mobile apps and backend systems, then routes it to a data warehouse or one of 750+ destinations. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Francisco, Segment was acquired by Twilio in 2020 and now operates as part of the Twilio platform.

How Twilio Segment works with TikTok

Segment acts as a Data Connector for TikTok, letting advertisers send unified first-party data directly to TikTok for ads and measurement. Its TikTok Conversions destination is a server-to-server integration with the TikTok Events API that shares website and event data to power custom targeting, dynamic showcase ads, campaign optimization and attribution. The TikTok Audiences destination sends Twilio Engage audiences to TikTok as custom audiences, and TikTok Offline Conversions help measure ad impact on offline actions like in-store purchases.
