# create_tiktok_ads_audience

Create a TikTok custom audience from what people actually did — the thing that turns TikTok targeting from interests-and-geo into retargeting. audienceType chooses the source and EACH ONE READS A DIFFERENT ID SPACE for eventSourceIds, which is the mistake to avoid: PIXEL takes pixel ids (list_tiktok_ads_pixels), APP takes app ids (list_tiktok_ads_apps), ENGAGEMENT takes AD GROUP ids, ENGAGEMENT_ORGANIC_VIDEO takes TikTok post ids (list_tiktok_ads_identity_posts, max 10), TIKTOK_SHOP takes shop ids, OFFLINE takes offline event-set ids — and a LEAD_GENERATION audience must carry NO eventSourceIds at all, because TikTok errors if the field is present.
