Connect TikTok and publish with Direct Post

TikTok publishes through its Direct Post API. Sync Socials sends the video or photos to your account and TikTok finishes processing on its side.

Connect

  1. Open Connections and choose Connect TikTok.
  2. Sign in to TikTok and keep both requested permissions enabled. If you remove one, the connection fails with a permission error; reconnect and approve both.

The connected account shows its display name and avatar. Several TikTok accounts can be connected to one workspace.

Settings on every TikTok post

TikTok requires a few choices on each post. They appear in the composer when a TikTok account is selected:

  • Visibility: the list comes live from your TikTok account settings, so a private account only sees private options.
  • Comments, duets, and stitches: all off by default; turn on what you want.
  • Commercial content: declare brand-organic or branded content when the post promotes something. Branded content can't be private.
  • Music usage confirmation: tick the box to confirm you have rights to the audio. Sync Socials can't publish to TikTok without it.

Videos and photos

  • Videos publish as regular TikTok videos. Photo posts are supported too and are resized to fit inside TikTok's 1080p picture bounds.
  • The campaign title is used as the photo title.
  • After Sync Socials hands the post to TikTok, processing can take a few minutes before it appears on the profile. Posted shows the final result once TikTok confirms it.
