# Setting up a TikTok feed
**Step 1: Create a new TikTok feed**
1. Navigate to **\[Your project] >** **Channels**
2. Click **+Create channel**.
3. Search for "TikTok" and select **TikTok Ads**.
4. Next, fill in your **Feed name**
5. Select your **Target country** from the dropdown.
6. Select the **Type of market**, which is the specific category or sector of the retail market for your products.
7. Click on **Advanced settings** to edit more settings for your feed.
8. Once you have completed your feed settings, click **Continue**.
**Step 3: Categories**
Set up the Categories for your products by using the [generate categories feature](/manage-improve-product-data/categorize-products/create-product-categories/use-the-generate-categories-function.md) or [create new categories from scratch](/manage-improve-product-data/categorize-products/create-product-categories/add-categories-manually.md).
**Step 4: Rules and Finalize**
In the [Rules step](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/using-rules.md), you will be able to create different Rules to optimize your product data.
In the [Mapping step](/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-mapping-step.md), you will need to ensure that you match your data fields to all the blue fields which are presented as these are the mandatory fields required by the feed. If you do not provide data for the blue fields this will return errors from the feed. Orange and white fields are recommended and are not required for a successful upload.
**Step 5: Preview & Quality**
You have already created the feed, so now you just need to check it to make sure it is ready to go. In the **Preview** step, you will be able to check the feed and obtain the URL that you will have to integrate into your TikTok account.
**Important:** The URL will be visible when you activate the feed.
**Step 6: Import feed in TikTok**
In [this article](https://ads.tiktok.com/help/article/how-to-create-video-shopping-ads-catalog?lang=en), TikTok explains how you can set up your catalog and create Video Shopping Ads. You need to use the URL link from Step 5 above.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/list-on-channels/tiktok/setting-up-a-tiktok-feed.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
