TikTok Ads Manager ACTION
Create Lookalike Audience
Create a TikTok lookalike audience based on an existing custom audience. TikTok finds users who share characteristics with the source audience. Use List Audiences to find the source audience ID.
audience_size controls reach vs accuracy: NARROW = most similar (smallest), BALANCED = mixed, BROAD = largest reach. Location IDs: 6252001 = United States, 6269131 = United Kingdom. Newly created audiences require up to 48 hours to be analyzed before they become active. See the documentation- Action
