Creating Tiktok posts using the Publish scheduling tool

Updated over a week ago

Flowbox offers an integration with TikTok through our Publish feature, allowing you to either post directly to TikTok or create a draft in TikTok's mobile app. Here's a detailed explanation of the two options and how to use them effectively:

Direct post: A direct post is created on the Flowbox platform and will be automatically published to your connected TikTok account at the specified date and time.

Draft post to be reviewed in Tiktok App: A draft post is created on the Flowbox platform and will be sent to your TikTok app as a draft at the specified date and time. This means that the post will not be published until you complete the necessary steps within the TikTok app.

Once one of both posts is created, they will appear in your calendar view, on the Publish page with the proper status (published, draft sent, failed or processing).

Before start creating your post, make sure you have a valid Tiktok connection in the Company settings menu.
