TikTok-Specific Features

🔒

Privacy Controls

Set video visibility to public, friends only, followers only, or private. Control exactly who sees each post.

🎬

Duets & Stitches

Enable or disable duets and stitches per video. Let your audience remix your content or keep it locked down.

🎵

Auto Music

Automatically add background music to your videos with the autoAddMusic setting. Perfect for quick clips.

📢

Branded Content

Toggle branded content and organic branded content disclosures to stay compliant with TikTok's policies.

🤖

AI Disclosure

Mark videos as AI-generated to comply with TikTok's transparency requirements for AI-created content.

📅

Scheduled Posting

Schedule videos with precise timestamps. Use DIRECT_POST for immediate publishing or UPLOAD for draft mode.

How It Works

Find Your TikTok Integration

List your connected accounts and grab your TikTok integration ID. You can also fetch available settings to see what options are supported.

Discovery

# List all integrations
postiz integrations:list

# Filter for TikTok
postiz integrations:list | jq \
  '.[] | select(.identifier=="tiktok")'

# Get TikTok settings schema
postiz integrations:settings <tiktok-id>

Upload Your Video

Upload your video file to get a public URL. TikTok requires media to be accessible via HTTPS. Supports MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM, and more.

Upload

# Upload video and extract URL
RESULT=$(postiz upload video.mp4)
VIDEO_URL=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.path')

echo $VIDEO_URL
# https://uploads.postiz.com/your-video.mp4

Create Your Post

Schedule a TikTok post with your video, caption, hashtags, and platform-specific settings like privacy level, duet/stitch permissions, and content disclosures.

Post Creation

postiz posts:create \
  -c "New tutorial drop! #coding #dev" \
  -m "$VIDEO_URL" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "privacy_level": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
    "title": "Coding Tutorial",

What is Codex?

Codex is OpenAI's autonomous coding agent that handles software engineering tasks — writing features, fixing bugs, and answering questions about your codebase. It works via CLI and IDE integrations, and can execute shell commands like Postiz.

💻

CLI & IDE Native

Codex runs from your terminal or IDE. It executes shell commands directly, making Postiz integration seamless — no extra configuration needed.

🔧

Autonomous Execution

Codex works in sandboxed cloud environments, autonomously running commands, reading output, and chaining multi-step workflows like social media posting.

⚡

Parallel Tasks

Run multiple Codex tasks simultaneously. Schedule posts to different platforms in parallel while Codex handles other coding work.

How Postiz Works with Codex

Codex discovers Postiz when you install it globally. It reads the SKILL.md to understand available commands and can autonomously chain them for social media workflows.

✓Install Postiz Agent globally with npx skills add
✓Codex reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set in environment
✓Codex executes commands in sandboxed environments
✓Works alongside your coding tasks in parallel

Install Postiz

# Install the Postiz skill
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Codex discovers Postiz commands
# from the SKILL.md automatically
codex "list my social media integrations"

TikTok Posting with Codex

Tell Codex what to post from your terminal or IDE — it discovers your integrations via Postiz and handles the entire publishing workflow.

💻

CLI Workflow

Terminal and IDE integration

Tell Codex what to post from your terminal or IDE — it discovers your integrations via Postiz and handles the entire publishing workflow.

Codex CLI

$ codex "Post to TikTok about our
  new feature launch, schedule for
  tomorrow at 9am"

Codex: I'll handle that.
  Running: postiz integrations:list
  Found your TikTok integration.
  Running: postiz posts:create ...

  Done! Your post is scheduled.
  Post ID: abc-123

💻

Parallel Tasks

Multiple tasks at once

Codex can handle multiple tasks in parallel. Schedule posts to different platforms while it works on other coding tasks simultaneously.

Codex Parallel Tasks

# Run multiple posting tasks in parallel
$ codex "Schedule a post about our
  launch to X for tomorrow 9am" &

$ codex "Write a LinkedIn article
  about our new feature and schedule
  for tomorrow noon" &

$ codex "Fix the bug in auth.ts"

# All three tasks run simultaneously

Why Codex + Postiz for TikTok

Codex's autonomous execution makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for TikTok workflows.

✓CLI-native — runs from your terminal or IDE
✓Autonomous execution in sandboxed environments
✓Parallel task support — post while coding
✓Branded content disclosures applied automatically when you mention a sponsor
✓Cross-post to TikTok + other platforms in a single session
✓Powered by OpenAI's most capable models

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your TikTok integration, uploads your video, applies privacy and interaction settings, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

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

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./demo.mp4
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Check out this demo!" \
    -m "uploaded-url" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"privacy_level":
      "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
      "duet":true,"stitch":true,
      "comment":true,...}' \
    -i "tiktok-id"

TikTok + Other Platforms

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

Terminal

# Post a video to TikTok and YouTube simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "New tutorial is live! #coding #tutorial" \
  -m "$VIDEO_URL" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "privacy_level": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
    "duet": true,
    "stitch": true,
    "comment": true,
    "autoAddMusic": "no",
    "brand_content_toggle": false,
    "brand_organic_toggle": false,
    "content_posting_method": "DIRECT_POST"
  }' \
  -i "tiktok-id,youtube-id"

# Batch schedule a week of TikTok content
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Day $day tips! #dailytips" \
    -m "day${day}-video-url" \
