Check your TikTok Ads product catalog on WhatsApp
Ask on WhatsApp what is in your TikTok Ads catalog: an AI agent pulls your catalogs, their products, their product sets and their feeds.
How do I check from WhatsApp which products my TikTok Ads catalog has before advertising them?
You text your Met on WhatsApp "which products do I have loaded in the TikTok catalog?". The Met finds the ad account the connection authorized, pulls its product catalogs and the overview of the one you care about, and lists its products, product sets and feeds. It answers in the chat with what TikTok returns, so you know whether what you want to advertise is loaded before building the campaign. Everything is read-only: in this connector creating or changing campaigns and ads starts off, so the Met does not touch your ads or your catalog.
What starts it
When someone asks for it
It starts when someone on the team asks the Met on WhatsApp about the TikTok Ads catalog. Each question is on request; the Met does not watch the catalog on its own.
A manual task: someone on the team runs it with a button, or asks the Met for it in chat.
Who runs it
Internal Met that checks your TikTok Ads catalog
Social team
This is not a named, seeded Met. It is an internal Met with TikTok Ads connected, for the owner or the agency that runs the ads: it is done when it told you which catalogs, products, sets and feeds the account has.

The procedure, step by step
Each step shows the tool that runs. They belong to the real connector: if one of them stopped existing, this page would not build.
- 1
Find the ad account
The Met lists the ad accounts the connection authorized and keeps your business's. If you manage several, like an agency, you tell it which client it is about.
- 2
Pull the catalogs
The Met pulls the account's product catalogs and asks which one to check if there is more than one. If there is none, it tells you: without a catalog there are no products to advertise from there.
- 3
See the catalog overview
The Met pulls the overview of the catalog you picked and tells you the figures TikTok returns, without working out on its own what the overview does not include.
- 4
Review products and sets
The Met pulls the catalog's products and its product sets. If you ask about a specific one, it tells you whether it shows up and which set it is in.
- 5
Review the feeds
The Met pulls the catalog's feeds, which is how products get loaded, and tells you which ones the account has set up.
Before you start
What you need ready
The Met solves none of these for you. If one is missing, the automation stops there.
-
A TikTok for Business account with a catalog
The TikTok for Business account you run your ads with, with access to the ad account and its product catalog. No developer credentials are needed.
-
TikTok Ads connected in Met
In Met, open Connections → TikTok Ads → Connect and authorize your TikTok for Business account. The connector arrives in read mode, which is what this procedure uses.
-
An internal Met on WhatsApp
A team Met with TikTok Ads connected that you text on WhatsApp. It is not the Met that serves your customers: it is for whoever runs the ads.
The limits
What this automation does NOT solve
Better said here than discovered halfway through the rollout.
-
It does not load or fix products in the catalog: it only reads. Catalog changes are made in TikTok or in your feed's source.
-
It does not create campaigns or spend budget: creating and changing budget or status start off in this connector, and this procedure does not use them.
-
It does not post organic videos to your TikTok profile: this connector is for ads only.
-
It does not see ad accounts the connection did not authorize.
FAQ
Questions about this automation
Not in this procedure. The connector arrives in read mode and this procedure only reads catalogs, products, sets and feeds.
Yes. If the connected account can access several ad accounts, the Met asks which one it is about before checking the catalog.
It tells you whether it shows up in the catalog and which feeds the account has. The reason for a rejection, if TikTok does not return it in those queries, it does not make up.
You do, with your TikTok ad account. Meteor does not resell the service, and this procedure does not spend budget.
