Spark Code collection is how you turn a creator's real TikTok post into an ad you can run. Hubfluence collects the codes for you as part of your program, so you are not chasing creators in the DMs one at a time.
Quick answer
A Spark Code is an authorization string that lets your brand run paid ads on a creator's own organic TikTok post, keeping their handle, comments, and engagement. In Hubfluence, the Spark Codes feature collects those codes automatically as creators post, tracks them against each creator, and pushes approved codes into your ad campaigns, including GMV Max, without manual re-uploading.
What a Spark Code is
A Spark Code authorizes your brand to run Spark Ads on a creator's existing post. Spark Ads are TikTok's native format that runs from the creator's own handle, so the ad keeps the likes, comments, and authentic feel of an organic video instead of looking like an uploaded brand ad. That is why Spark Ads usually outperform whitelisted uploads.
How Hubfluence collects Spark Codes
You do not have to collect codes by hand. The Spark Codes feature gathers them as part of your outreach and onboarding flow, so a code goes from a creator's post to your campaign without a spreadsheet in between. There are two ways codes come in:
Automatic collection. As creators in your program post and authorize their content, Hubfluence collects the Spark Code and ties it to that creator's record.
Mass authorization. Many creators turn on mass authorization in their TikTok ad settings, which lets your brand Spark all of their brand-tagged posts without sending codes one by one. You can ask for this up front so future posts are covered automatically.
Where Spark Codes are tracked
Every collected code lives on the creator's profile inside Hubfluence, next to the rest of their activity. You can see which creators have authorized content, which posts are eligible, and push approved codes straight into your ad campaigns. If you run GMV Max, approved codes auto-upload into your campaigns from one form, so approved content goes live as ads without manual work.
If a creator will not grant Spark access
Some creators prefer not to authorize Spark. In that case you can still negotiate paid usage rights to run the content as an ad. Keep the terms in writing, and note that Spark authorizations default to a set window on TikTok, so plan your flighting around when the authorization is active.
