Post Video to TikTok

Post a TikTok Video

The Post Video to TikTok Block allows you to post videos directly to your TikTok account. Control the level of privacy to your own account, your followers, or mutually following friends. This block is perfect for posting video content that you generate using MindStudio to TikTok.

Connection

Create a new connection to your TikTok account. To do this requires a web application created on TikTok for Developers with a Client ID and a Client Secret. This web app provides a Client ID and a Client Secret from which to connect to your TikTok account.

You can test posting TikTok videos to your account using a Sandbox environment, but only to yourself. To post to your followers or mutually following friends, you must submit your web app for approval to production.

1. From your consumer TikTok account, go to Settings, then enable Private account from the Privacy settings.

2. Create a TikTok for Developers account. This is separate from a consumer TikTok account.

3. Create a web app in a Sandbox environment following these TikTok guidelines. Ensure to do the following:

   1. Install the Login Kit, which adds the "user.info.basic" scope to your web app.

   2. Install the Content Posting API, which adds the "video.publish" and "video.upload" scopes. Enable the Direct Post setting.

   3. Add your TikTok user name in the Target Users. This allows your TikTok account to connect to your web app and use the Sandbox environment.

4. Create the connection from the Post Video to TikTok Block or from the Integrations page on MindStudio. Do the following:

   1. Add the Client ID and Client Secret from your TikTok web app.

   2. Copy the Redirect URL from the Post Video to TikTok Block and paste it into Redirect URL in the Login Kit settings, then save the web app settings.
