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.
Zendesk on its own
Zendesk sees the complaint and how it was handled. It cannot see what the customer is worth or whether they bought again.
Timing. Zendesk timestamps every ticket, reply and status change.
Access. The Zendesk Support API with a read-only token.
