Learn how to collect content from Instagram using Chrome extension in this article.

Flowbox Chrome extension allows you to collect public videos directly from Tiktok. To do so, follow these simple steps.

Collecting videos from Tiktok

Before starting, ensure that you have Tiktok Chrome extension source configured to one of your Flows, as described in this article.

  1. Go to Tiktok and find the post you want to collect.

  2. Open the post in your browser and right-click in the comments section.

  3. Select the Flow name configured with the Tiktok Chrome extension source.

  4. If the content was originally tagged as Public by the creator, it should appear at the top of your Flow.

Your collected posts will appear either in your Inbox or Approved tab, depending on the Request Approval setting configured when adding the Chrome extension as a source to your Flow. If "Require Approval" is toggled on, content will be sent to your Inbox; otherwise, it will be displayed in your Approved tab.

The Flowbox Chrome extension is designed to prevent duplicate content collection. Once a piece of content is collected, it will not be collected again by the extension. This helps maintain an organized and efficient content management system within Flowbox.

Important notes about content privacy

When using the Flowbox platform, it is crucial to ensure that you only collect content for which you have obtained the necessary rights. This means:

Obtain Explicit Permission: Only collect content if you have explicit permission from the user or if you already hold the rights to the content. Unauthorized collection of content can lead to serious legal consequences for your company, including potential copyright infringement claims.

Rights Request Compliance: Due to API restrictions imposed by the provider, Flowbox cannot automatically verify if you have obtained the rights to the content, unlike with other social media platforms. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that rights requests are properly handled and documented.

Tiktok terms and service: please refer to TikTok's terms of service and privacy policy if you have any concerns regarding the legality of your collected content.
