Connect TikTok
- →The TikTok account you want Sam to work with.
Step 1 - Open the integrations marketplace
Select Connect your tools at the bottom of the left sidebar, above your profile. Search for TikTok or find it under Browse Integrations.
Step 2 - Sign in and approve
Select Connect. Sam shows what it will be able to do, then sends you to TikTok's own sign-in page. Sign in with the account you want Sam to work in and approve the access.
Step 3 - Name it and choose who can use it
Give the connection a name, choose who on your team can use it, and select Finish setup. It moves to your Connected tab.
When you connect, you may see a screen of checkboxes, and some are easy to scroll past. Sam can only do what you allow. If you untick one, the matching actions in the list above will fail with a permission error.
If Sam says it can't reach TikTok later on, see When Sam can't reach one of your tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Sam post without asking?
Publishing directly to your account always stops and asks you to confirm first. Sending a draft to your inbox doesn't ask, because nothing is posted until you finish it in the TikTok app.
What's the difference between posting and sending to my inbox?
Posting publishes straight away. Sending to your inbox puts the video or carousel in TikTok as a draft, so you can add sounds, edit and post it yourself.
Can Sam post at a set time?
Yes. Ask Sam to post at the time you want and it sets up a Sam automation that publishes then. See Pause, edit, or stop any automation.
