How Mailchimp and TikTok Ads records line up
Mailchimp and TikTok Ads both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.
Mailchimp and TikTok Ads both keep the UTM source, medium and campaign values from the visit, so activity lines up campaign by campaign even when no single person can be matched.
Shared between the two: the customer email address and the UTM campaign tags.
What anomaly detection uses from each
Anomaly detection needs a steady daily series with a known normal range.
From Mailchimp that means bounce and unsubscribe rates by campaign. From TikTok Ads it means CPM and click-through rate by ad group per day.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Mailchimp on its own
Mailchimp sees who received and clicked. It cannot see what the reader did after landing on the site.
Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
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.
