Why Sharing TikTok Ads Reports Matters
Clients want proof their budget is working. Regular reporting keeps them informed and invested.
Transparency builds client trust
Clear data removes guesswork. When clients can see spend, results, and trends, they trust the process and approve budgets faster. Reporting cadence signals that you're accountable, not just active.
Data-driven decision making
Reports aren't just for show. They reveal what's working so you and your client can double down on winning strategies, not just defend past decisions.

Option 1: Grant Account Access via User Roles
Give clients direct, live access to the dashboard they want to see.
What user roles are available
Per TikTok's Business Help Center, three roles control what clients can do inside your ad account:
- Admin — manages all account settings and performance reports
- Operator — creates and edits campaigns, views performance data
- Analyst — views ads and performance data only
For most clients, Analyst is the right starting point.
How to add a client as Operator or Analyst
- Go to TikTok Business Center.
- Navigate to Members.
- Invite your client by email.
- Assign the appropriate role (Analyst or Operator).
- Confirm access.
Your client gets a direct view of live performance data without touching campaign controls.
Best practices for access control
Start with Analyst access. Upgrade to Operator only if the client needs to manage campaigns directly. Admin access should stay with your internal team.

Option 2: Export Reports On Demand
Pull a clean snapshot of performance data any time a client asks for it.
Creating custom reports in TikTok Ads Manager
TikTok Ads Manager documentation states you can build custom reports from the Reporting page. Choose your dimensions: campaigns, ad groups, ads, or placements. Set your date range. Add the metrics you want. The report builds to your exact specifications.
Exporting in CSV and XLSX formats
Click "Run & Export" to download immediately. TikTok Ads Manager supports both CSV and XLSX formats. Both open natively in Excel, Google Sheets, or any BI tool your client uses for internal tracking.
What metrics and dimensions to include
Focus on metrics tied to your client's stated goals. Common picks: CPM, CPC, CTR, and CVR. Add audience breakdowns (age, gender, location, device) when clients want to understand who's responding and who isn't.

Option 3: Scheduled Email Reports
Automate delivery so reports land in your client's inbox without manual effort.
Setting up automated scheduled reports
From the Reporting page in TikTok Ads Manager, create a custom report. Then select scheduled delivery instead of immediate export. Configure the parameters and save the schedule.
Choosing frequency and recipients
TikTok Ads Manager supports four delivery frequencies: daily, weekly, first day of every month, and last day of every month. Pick the cadence that matches your client's review cycle.
Managing up to 5 email recipients
Per TikTok Ads Manager documentation, each scheduled report delivers to up to 5 email addresses. Add your client, your account manager, and anyone else in the approval chain. No manual sends required.

Best Practices for Client Reporting
The best sharing method depends on the client relationship, not a universal rule.
Choose the right sharing method for your workflow
- Hands-on clients who want live data: Analyst role access
- Busy executives who want a summary: scheduled email reports
- Ad-hoc requests: on-demand CSV or XLSX export
Mix methods if needed. Many agencies run weekly scheduled reports and also grant Analyst access for clients who want to check in between calls.
What data to highlight
Lead with outcomes: conversions, ROAS, and CTR. Follow with spend and reach. Save granular breakdowns for clients who ask. A clean top-line view lands better than a data dump.
Pairing native reports with creative optimization
Strong numbers start with strong creatives. If your metrics are flat, the report only tells half the story. A creative refresh often moves CTR and CVR faster than bid adjustments. What you report on depends on what you're running.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share a live TikTok Ads dashboard link with my client?
TikTok Ads Manager doesn't offer a public shareable link for dashboards. Instead, you can invite your client as an Analyst in TikTok Business Center so they get direct live access, or send them scheduled email reports automatically.
What is the Analyst role in TikTok Ads Manager?
Per TikTok's Business Help Center, the Analyst role lets a user view ads and performance data without editing campaigns or account settings. It's the safest access level to grant clients who only need to review results.
