Connect your TikTok business account to Aibrify by going to Dashboard → Platforms → Add Platform, selecting TikTok, and authorizing via your TikTok login. A TikTok Business Account is required for third-party publishing.

Before You Connect

TikTok requires a Business Account to enable third-party publishing. Personal TikTok accounts cannot be connected.

Switch to a TikTok Business Account:

1. Open TikTok and go to your profile

2. Tap the three-line menu → Settings and privacy

3. Tap AccountSwitch to Business Account

4. Follow the prompts and select your business category

Note: Switching to a Business Account is free and does not delete any existing content.

Connecting Your TikTok Account

  1. Navigate to Dashboard → Platforms
  2. Click Add Platform or the + button
  3. Select TikTok
  4. Click Connect TikTok
  5. You'll be redirected to TikTok's authorization page
  6. Log in to your TikTok Business Account
  7. Review the permissions Aibrify is requesting
  8. Tap Authorize to grant access

Your TikTok account will appear in Dashboard → Platforms with a "Connected" status indicator.

Required Permissions

Aibrify requests these TikTok permissions:

  • Video upload — To publish videos on your behalf
  • Profile info — To display your account name and follower count
  • Insights — To pull performance data into your analytics

TikTok Content Specifics

TikTok has different content requirements than other platforms:

  • Format: Vertical video (9:16 aspect ratio), minimum 3 seconds, maximum 10 minutes
  • Captions: Limited to 2,200 characters, hashtags included
  • Audio: Original audio, licensed music, or voiceover (no copyrighted music from unlicensed sources)

Your Aibrify team creates TikTok content specifically designed for the platform's algorithm and audience. They stay current with trending formats and audio to maximize reach.

Important: TikTok's Content Policy

TikTok has strict content policies. Your team is trained to create TikTok-compliant content, but be aware that:

  • Promotional content must comply with TikTok's advertising policies
  • Certain industries have restrictions (financial services, healthcare, etc.)
  • Posts that violate TikTok's guidelines may be removed by TikTok directly

If you're in a regulated industry, message your team to discuss any content restrictions that apply to your account.

Troubleshooting

Authorization fails:

Ensure you're authorizing with a Business Account, not a personal account. Check your account type in TikTok Settings → Account.

Connection drops:

TikTok tokens can expire. Check Dashboard → Platforms and reconnect if you see a warning status.
