Step 1: Open the Campaign Builder
Log in to your Growi account.
In the left sidebar, click Onboard Creators, then select Campaigns.
Click Add campaign in the top right corner.
Select General when prompted to choose a campaign type.
Click Continue.
On the next screen, select TikTok Lives.
Click Continue.
Step 2: Set Store and Duration
Store (Optional)
This campaign type is exclusive to TikTok Shop. Only TikTok Shop is available as a store option.
Timeline (Required)
TikTok Lives campaigns are One-Time only. There is no Ongoing option. You must set both a Start date and an End date. The contest runs for the defined period and closes automatically.
Note: Past start dates are allowed and Growi will backfill tracking data from that date forward.
Click Next to continue.
Step 3: Set Campaign Requirements
Channels to Track (Required)
TikTok is the only available channel for this campaign type. Live stream activity is tracked through TikTok.
How to Track Creator Posts (Required)
Method | How it works |
Hashtag | Creators include a specific hashtag in their live streams or posts. Enter one or more, comma-separated. |
Account Mention | Creators @mention your brand account. |
Entire Account | All content from the creator's linked TikTok account is tracked. |
All TikTok Shop Product Links | Any content that includes any TikTok Shop product link is tracked. |
Specific TikTok Shop Product Link | Only content with a specific TikTok Shop product link is tracked. |
Keyword | Content containing a specific keyword is tracked. |
Click Next to continue.
Step 4: Set Compensation and Payout
Define the bonus structure using one of three tier modes based on live streaming metrics. All bonuses are paid in addition to the base payout amount.
Tier Mode 1: Live Streams
Reward creators based on the total number of live streams they broadcast during the contest. Each tier has a Name, a Reward amount, and a Live Streams threshold.
Example: Silver tier — $30 bonus at 5 live streams. Gold tier — $75 bonus at 10 live streams.
Tier Mode 2: Hours Live
Reward creators based on the total hours they spend live streaming. Each tier has a Name, a Reward amount, and an Hours Live threshold.
Example: Silver tier — $40 bonus at 10 hours live. Gold tier — $100 bonus at 25 hours live.
Tier Mode 3: Live Streams + Hours Live
Reward creators who meet both a live stream count threshold and a total hours live threshold at the same time.
Setting | What it does |
Generate bonuses separately | Pay the Live Streams bonus and the Hours Live bonus independently, rather than requiring both thresholds to be met together. |
Note: Click Add Tier to add more levels across any tier mode. Use the delete icon to remove a tier.
Payout Timing (Optional)
Option | When creators are paid |
Campaign end | All bonuses are paid out when the contest closes. |
Weekly | Creators are paid on a weekly cycle throughout the contest. |
Bi-weekly | Creators are paid every two weeks. |
Monthly | Creators are paid on a monthly cycle. |
Payout Delay (Optional)
Set a number of days after the payout date before rewards are released. Enter 0 to pay immediately.
Click Next to continue.
Step 5: Add Details and Advanced Settings
Campaign Name (Required)
Enter the name of the campaign. This is what creators will see on the application page.
Campaign Content (Optional)
Tab | What to write |
Description | Explain what the campaign involves and what creators need to do. |
Qualifications | List the criteria a creator must meet to be eligible. Growi AI also uses this information when running automatic content analysis to check whether a creator's posts meet your campaign standards. |
Disqualifications | List anything that would prevent a creator from being accepted. Growi AI also uses this information during automatic content analysis to flag posts that violate your campaign guidelines. |
Campaign Budget (Optional)
Set an overall budget cap to track total spend across the campaign. This is for internal tracking only and does not stop payouts automatically.
Discord Functionality
Use these settings to connect your Discord server to this campaign and automate creator onboarding through Discord.
Setting | What it does |
Require the creator to link their Discord account | Creators must authorize their Discord account before joining the campaign. |
Require creator to have a specific Discord role | Creators must already have a specific Discord role on your server before they can join the campaign. Use this to restrict the campaign to members of a particular tier or group. |
Automatically add Discord roles upon approval | Growi automatically assigns a Discord role to the creator when their application is approved. |
Automatically create private channel upon approval | Growi automatically creates a private Discord channel between your team and the creator when they are approved. Select the team roles that should have access, and optionally place the channel under a specific category. |
Assign Discord roles based on TTS GMV tiers | Automatically assign Discord roles to creators based on their last 30 days TikTok Shop GMV. Click Configure to set up custom tiers with thresholds, roles, and DM messages. |
Note: For full Discord setup instructions, refer to the guide: How to Set Up Discord for Your Campaign.
Creator Information
Use these settings to collect additional information from creators during signup or to control what they see.
Setting | What it does |
Require creator address | Creators must provide a mailing address before joining the campaign. |
Require creator phone number | Creators must provide a phone number before joining the campaign. |
Enable tax ID collection | Creators are asked to provide their tax ID during signup. This information is securely stored and used for generating tax forms. |
Enable SMS notifications for creators | Creators receive campaign updates via SMS. |
Require contracts | Creators must sign a contract document before their application is approved. |
Hide payout on signup | The payout amount is hidden from creators on the application page. |

Auto-generate Spark Codes | Growi automatically generates TikTok Spark Codes for approved creators so you can boost their content as paid ads. |
Tracking and Attribution
Setting | What it does |
Automatically update tiers | Creators are automatically moved between tiers as their performance metrics change in real time. |
Attribute non-cycle views | When enabled, views from posts made prior to the start of the current cycle are counted toward the creator's performance in this cycle. |
Track linked TikTok Shop sales | When enabled, creators are only credited for revenue generated from videos created within this campaign's timeframe. |
Set a Total Post Requirement | Sets a total number of posts required across all creators for the campaign. Use this to track overall campaign progress and ensure your posting targets are met. |
Auto-approve social account applications | Social accounts submitted by creators are approved automatically without manual review. |
Generate previous invoices | When enabled, previous invoices will be generated for creators who join after cycles have already been completed. |
Automatically Approve Creator Applications | All creator applications are automatically approved. Only enable this when you are certain you do not need to review applications manually. |
Reward each tier | Creators receive the reward for every tier they reach, not just the highest one. |
Limit attribution to posts after creator application approval | When enabled, Growi only counts posts published after you approve a creator's application. For example: if your campaign starts July 1 and you approve a creator on July 10, only their posts from July 10 forward will appear in your campaign data. |
No cross post compensation | Only the original post is compensated. Cross posts to other platforms are tracked but remain unpaid. |
How long to keep tracking posts | Set the number of days Growi tracks a post after it goes live. Leave blank to track indefinitely. |
Monetization
Setting | What it does |
Pay TikTok Shop Commission | Enable this to process TikTok Shop commissions for this campaign through Growi's payout system, rather than through TikTok Shop directly. |
AI
Setting | What it does |
Automatic AI Analysis | Growi AI automatically analyzes creator posts and generates performance insights, engagement predictions, and compliance checks. When enabled, Growi uses the Qualifications and Disqualifications you set in the campaign content to verify whether creator posts meet your guidelines. |
Click Next to continue.
