What each tool sees on its ownShow less
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
TikTok Ads on its own
TikTok sees views, clicks and the conversions its pixel catches. It cannot see what happens after a visitor leaves the tracked site.
Timing. TikTok reports conversions under the attribution windows chosen in the ad account, and those counts can include view-through conversions.
Access. The TikTok Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
