FAQ

Questions about New Lead.

How does the New Lead trigger work in TikTok Lead Gen?
Fires when a new lead is submitted via a TikTok Instant Form. Use it to push leads into your CRM, fire a welcome email, or assign to an SDR within seconds (which dramatically improves contact rates).
Is the New Lead trigger real-time?
Yes. New Lead uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in TikTok Lead Gen.
What data does New Lead return?
The full event payload from TikTok Lead Gen. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter New Lead so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need TikTok Lead Gen admin permissions to use New Lead?
For most TikTok Lead Gen accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some TikTok Lead Gen plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check TikTok Lead Gen's docs if the trigger fails to register.
