How do TikTok workflows run in Claude Cowork?

Two ways: ask Cowork directly in the desktop app, where it can read the content from your local files, or set up a scheduled task that runs in the cloud on a timetable you choose.

From your desktop files

Local folders, Google Drive, no terminal

Point Claude Cowork at a document or media file on your computer and tell it where and when to post. It reads the file, uploads media through Postiz, applies the TikTok settings, and schedules the result for your TikTok account.

Claude Cowork

You: Post ~/Videos/clip.mp4 to TikTok as
  public tomorrow at 6pm, duets and
  stitches allowed, comments on

Claude Cowork: Uploading clip.mp4 via Postiz...
  1. Video uploaded
  2. privacy PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE, duet/stitch on
  3. DIRECT_POST scheduled for 6:00 PM

  Done! Want a matching Instagram reel?

Scheduled tasks

Recurring TikTok videos without a cron server

Type /schedule in any Cowork task to make it recurring. Scheduled tasks run in the cloud with the connectors you have set up, so your computer does not need to be awake for Cowork to post to TikTok on time.

Claude Cowork scheduled task

/schedule

"Every day at 6pm, take the next video in ~/Videos/tiktok-queue, post it to TikTok as public with a caption based on its filename, and move it to ~/Videos/posted."

Claude Cowork will, on each run:
  1. Read the source file or folder
  2. Draft the TikTok content
  3. Schedule it through Postiz
  4. Report back what it did

Why Claude Cowork + Postiz for TikTok

✓No terminal: Postiz is a connector in the Claude app, added once
✓Reads TikTok videos content from local folders and connected apps like Google Drive
✓Scheduled tasks run in the cloud on a timetable you set
✓Cross-posts TikTok content to other Postiz channels in one request
✓Uses the same Postiz account, channels, and calendar as your dashboard and other agents

Also Works with OpenClaw

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes OpenClaw, the open-source personal AI agent, which reads the Postiz skill and runs the CLI rather than connecting over MCP.

🦀

OpenClaw

Open-source AI agent

OpenClaw reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your TikTok integration, uploads your video, applies privacy and interaction settings, and schedules the post.

OpenClaw

> Post my demo video to TikTok as public
  with duets enabled, schedule for tomorrow

OpenClaw: Done! Scheduled on TikTok for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

TikTok + Other Platforms

Schedule the same video to TikTok and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> Post "Excited to announce our new feature!" to
  TikTok and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on TikTok every weekday at 10am

Claude Cowork: Done! Scheduled:
  - TikTok + LinkedIn: tomorrow 9:00 AM
  - Daily tips on TikTok: Mon-Fri 10:00 AM

✓Set video_made_with_ai when the clip was AI-generated; TikTok labels such content.

Claude Cowork and TikTok: frequently asked questions

How do I post to TikTok from Claude Cowork?

Add Postiz as a custom connector in Cowork (Customize, then Connectors, URL https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic), sign in to Postiz, and ask Cowork to post a video file with a caption and time. Cowork uploads the video through Postiz, sets the required TikTok options, and schedules it. No terminal or API key is needed.

Why did my TikTok video show up as a draft instead of publishing?

The post was created with content_posting_method set to UPLOAD, which sends the video to your TikTok inbox as a draft. Ask Cowork to publish directly and it sets DIRECT_POST instead, so the video goes live at the scheduled time without you opening TikTok.

Can Claude Cowork control duets, stitches, and comments on TikTok?

Yes. Each is a boolean setting in Postiz (duet, stitch, comment). Say "no duets or stitches" and Cowork sets both to false while leaving comments on. TikTok also lets you restrict viewers through privacy_level, which Cowork sets from phrases like "followers only".

Does Cowork handle TikTok branded content disclosure?

Yes. Say the video is sponsored or promotes your own brand and Cowork sets brand_content_toggle or brand_organic_toggle accordingly when it creates the post. TikTok shows the matching disclosure label on the video, which keeps sponsored posts compliant with its branded content policy.

Is TikTok posting from Cowork different from Claude Code?

The Postiz settings and results are the same. Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal agent and uses a claude mcp add command or the Postiz CLI. Claude Cowork is the desktop agent, so Postiz is added as a connector and Cowork can read the video directly from a folder on your computer.
