TikTok UTM Parameters

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.
