What are Invite Links?
Invite links are a new campaign type that allows you to invite creators outside of the TikTok Creator Marketplace platform by generating a link for creators to upload their videos.
This allows you to collaborate with creators even if they are not registered on TikTok Creator Marketplace.

Why use TikTok Creator Marketplace Invite Links?
🤼 Work with any TikTok creator
With Invite Links, you no longer need to limit your collaborations to creators who are registered on TikTok Creator Marketplace. You can now collaborate with any creator who meets the local age requirement in their country (for example, creators who are 18 and above in the US).
📊 Access to first-party reporting and performance insights
One of the top benefits of TikTok Creator Marketplace is that it enables brands to see the performance of their campaign right from their Creator Marketplace account. No need to request screenshots from creators to see how your videos are performing!
With Invite Links, you can still access the Reporting dashboard of your account to see metrics such as video views and engagement rate.
Please note that to access this feature, your invited creator still has to accept and upload their video via the Invite Link generated and sent to them.Â
