VIN-level inventory in the newest automotive channel.

TikTok added automotive ads in July 2025, which makes it the least-contested of the major vehicle channels. Inventory Ads promote individual VINs and are what dealers and marketplaces run; Model Ads promote models, trims and offers and are aimed at manufacturers.

For OEMs

Model catalogs

Ducted also carries a TikTok Automotive Model template for manufacturer campaigns: 8 fields promoting a model and trim rather than a VIN. If you run dealer inventory, the Inventory catalog below is the one you want.

Common rejections

Where TikTok vehicle feeds get rejected

Mileage without its unit

Mileage is a value plus a unit, mapped as two fields. A bare number, or a unit outside MI and KM, fails the record.

state_of_vehicle outside the accepted list

New, Used and CPO are the accepted values. Anything else in that column rejects.

Missing location

Records carry the dealership address and coordinates. Without them, location-targeted inventory ads cannot serve.

Image link that is not a URL

A relative path or an empty value where image_link should be costs the record its placement.

How Ducted builds it

From source to a live feed URL

Connect the source. HomeNet, DealerOn, DealerMasters, All Auto Network, a file, a feed URL or a REST API. No source at all? Website Indexing builds one from the dealer site.
AutoMap the fields. Every source column is scored against the vehicle template and the best match is pre-filled. You confirm or tweak.
Transform what needs it. Casing, currency and number formats, conditional values, fallbacks for fields the source sometimes leaves empty.
Validate before you send. The health check names the field, counts the affected records and shows example rows from your own data.
Serve a permanent URL. The platform fetches your feed on a schedule; feed pull tracking shows when it last did.

Other channels

The rest of the automotive stack

One mapped catalog serves every channel; each page covers what that platform's feed needs.
