VixAI requests user.info.basic and video.publish through the official TikTok authorization screen.
Connect TikTok to VixAI
Connect TikTok and preserve every creator publishing choice.
Authorize the intended TikTok profile, let VixAI query the creator controls returned by TikTok and validate Direct Post with a controlled video.
Connect Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube
TikTok connection includes consent and current creator settings
A valid token alone is not enough: every publication must respect the account options returned by TikTok.
Before publishing, VixAI queries the latest privacy, comment, Duet, Stitch and duration options for the connected creator.
Approved video and creator choices are sent through the Content Posting API only after the user confirms the destination settings.
TikTok connection and Direct Post checklist
Validate the connection and the creator controls as separate stages.
| Stage | Required state | VixAI behavior | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account consent | The intended TikTok profile is selected | TikTok returns an access token, refresh token and open ID after consent | Restart OAuth with the correct TikTok account |
| Publishing scope | video.publish is approved | VixAI uses the scope for Direct Post initialization | Reconnect and approve the requested publishing access |
| Creator information | TikTok returns privacy and interaction availability | VixAI queries creator_info before preparing the post controls | Reconnect if creator information cannot be read |
| Publishing choices | Privacy and allowed interactions match current options | VixAI validates privacy and respects disabled comment, Duet or Stitch settings | Choose an option returned for this creator instead of reusing stale settings |
| Media transfer | A compatible video is available for upload | VixAI initializes Direct Post and transfers the file to the returned upload URL | Check duration, format, upload response and post status before retrying |
TikTok determines available privacy levels, interaction controls, processing and final visibility. Unaudited API clients may be restricted by TikTok policy.
How to connect TikTok in VixAI
Complete authorization and validate the current creator controls before scheduling recurring videos.
Open the intended VixAI brand profile
Choose Connect TikTok and authorize the correct account
Review creator privacy and interaction controls
Send a controlled video and verify the result
Do not treat TikTok as a generic video endpoint
Choose TikTok from the active VixAI brand profile. The authorization request asks TikTok for basic account identity and Direct Post access. Consent belongs to the selected TikTok account; VixAI never asks the user to paste a social password or access token.
After connection, VixAI stores the open ID and refreshable access. Before an actual publication, it calls TikTok creator_info. That response defines the privacy levels available to this creator, whether comments, Duet or Stitch are disabled and the maximum video duration.
The publishing review must reflect those returned options. VixAI validates the selected privacy level and combines the creator restrictions with the user choices for interaction and commercial-content declarations. This prevents a scheduled template from overriding current account controls.
When a TikTok delivery fails, separate expired authorization from media or policy errors. Reconnect for an invalid token or missing scope. Correct privacy mismatch, duration, file transfer or platform-limit errors without sending duplicate posts to destinations that already succeeded.

Frequently asked questions
Which TikTok permissions does VixAI request?
The connection requests basic user information and video.publish for the implemented Direct Post workflow.
Can VixAI choose a privacy level that TikTok does not return?
No. The publishing choice must match one of the current privacy options returned for the connected creator.
Are comments, Duet and Stitch always available?
No. TikTok returns availability for the creator, and VixAI must respect controls disabled by the account.
Why does TikTok creator information get queried again?
Account settings can change. Querying before publication keeps privacy, interactions and duration aligned with the latest platform response.
What should I do after reconnecting?
Review the creator controls and publish one controlled compatible video before resuming the full recurring schedule.
