Flovaly Clip to TikTok Spark Ad or Meta Ad

Flovaly doesn't publish to TikTok or Meta Ads Manager directly — there's no connected account, no one-click boost, and no API integration to either platform. What you get is a finished MP4 you download and take to the ad platform yourself, and the two platforms want it in different shapes: TikTok Spark Ads need the clip posted organically first, then authorised with a code generated from that post; Meta Advantage+ just wants the raw file uploaded straight into an ad set, no authorisation step at all.

TikTok Spark Ads: post first, then generate a code

A Spark Code doesn't come from a video file — it comes from a post that's already live on TikTok. Upload your Flovaly clip to a TikTok account (your brand's own, or a creator's account if they're fronting it) as a normal organic post first. Then, from that specific post's three-dot menu, open Ad Settings, toggle on Ad Authorization, pick a duration — up to 365 days for an ongoing campaign — and tap Generate. Copy the code it produces and paste it into TikTok Ads Manager's Spark Ads creative picker, which pulls in the organic post's likes, comments, and shares along with the video itself. There's no way to skip the organic-post step: Spark Ads is built to boost a post that already exists, not to accept a standalone file.

The setups differ this much because the two products are doing different jobs. Spark Ads is built to boost an organic post and carry its real likes, comments, and share count into the ad unit, so TikTok needs proof the post actually exists and that whoever posted it consented to it being promoted — that's what the authorisation code is for. If the account posting isn't yours — a creator or influencer fronting the clip — they generate the code from their own post and hand it to you; you never need access to their account. Advantage+ has no equivalent social-proof layer to protect, so Meta skips straight to treating the file as one more creative asset for its delivery system to test.

Meta Advantage+: no code, just upload the file

Meta's side is simpler because there's no authorisation step at all. Download the clip from Flovaly and upload it as a creative asset directly into an Advantage+ Sales, Leads, or App Promotion campaign in Ads Manager — Meta recommends 10 to 20 diverse assets per ad set so its delivery system has real variation to test, not several near-identical cuts of the same script. Put the hook and the product in the first few frames, since over half of viewers watch with sound off, and export at 9:16 (1080×1920) for Reels and Stories placements specifically — 1:1 or 4:5 still works fine for classic Feed. Plan to refresh with fresh concepts, not just new variations of the same one, every two to three weeks as the current creative fatigues.

Which Flovaly output to start from

Not every Flovaly generation surface exports the same shape by default, and it matters for both platforms above. The guided UGC ad flow and Viral Centre scenes both render 9:16 vertical automatically — the right fit straight out of Flovaly for a TikTok post or a Reels/Stories Advantage+ asset. Talking Actors generated through Studio's model-picker path (the Sora/Veo/Seedance/Kling selector), by contrast, defaults to 16:9 with no aspect-ratio toggle exposed in that composer — fine for a classic Feed Advantage+ asset, but it'll show letterboxed if you post it straight to TikTok or a vertical placement. See the full surface-by-surface breakdown in which Flovaly outputs default to 9:16 before you pick which mode to generate from.

Captions and script still do the heavy lifting

Both platforms lean on the same two things a raw export from Flovaly already has covered: burned-in captions, since a large share of Advantage+ and Spark Ad views happen muted, and a script built for a short window rather than a long pitch — see whether AI UGC ads need captions and how to write UGC ad scripts that actually convert for the specifics. Neither platform requires anything extra from the file itself beyond a standard MP4 export, which is what Flovaly produces either way.

What it costs to generate the source clip

Figures are 720p on the $29/month Starter plan (150 credits, ≈$0.1933 per credit); 1080p applies a 1.5× multiplier. See the full AI video ad cost breakdown for every generation type. Whichever mode you generate from, the credit charge covers the render only — posting the organic TikTok video, generating the Spark Code, and uploading to Ads Manager all happen outside Flovaly, on the ad platform itself.

Start with the guided UGC flow or a Viral Centre scene if the destination is TikTok Spark Ads or a vertical Advantage+ placement, since both already export in the right shape — then handle the authorisation step (TikTok) or straight upload (Meta) on the platform's own side.
