TikTok-Specific Features

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" \

What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.

Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your TikTok presence with Postiz.

💻

Own Cloud Computer

Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your TikTok posts go out even when your laptop is closed.

🔁

Routines

Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on TikTok content without being asked twice.

🛡️

Approvals Built In

Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the TikTok posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.

How Postiz Works with Grok Bot

Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your TikTok workflow on its own.

✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Grok Bot

# 1. Add the plugin to your Bot
/add-plugin postiz

# 2. Store your Postiz API key
#    as a secret when prompted

# 3. Ask your Bot to verify
You: Find my TikTok channel in Postiz

Bot: Running postiz integrations:list
  Found your TikTok integration.
  All Postiz commands are ready.

TikTok Posting with Grok Bot

Your Bot reads the Postiz skill, discovers your TikTok integration, and handles the entire posting workflow — from content creation to scheduling — on its own cloud computer.

🧠

Message Your Bot

Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Send a message to your Bot from the desktop app or your iPhone. It runs on its own cloud computer, so it picks up your message, discovers your TikTok account via Postiz, uploads your media, and schedules the post — then asks you to approve before it goes live.

Grok Bot

You: Post to TikTok about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
  at 9am

Bot: Got it! Here's the plan:
  1. Find your TikTok integration
  2. Compose your post content
  3. Schedule for tomorrow 9:00 AM

  Done! Post scheduled successfully.
  Post ID: abc-123

🧠

Routines

Recurring work on a schedule

Save the task as a routine. Your Bot runs it on a schedule from the cloud, checks for new content, and posts it to TikTok automatically — no manual trigger needed.

Grok Bot routine

Routine: daily-tiktok-posts
Schedule: Weekdays at 9:00 AM

Instructions:
  Check ~/content/posts on your cloud
  computer for new .txt files. For
  each one, read the content and
  schedule a post to TikTok for
  today at noon via Postiz. Move
  posted files to ~/content/published
  and send me a summary.

Why Grok Bot + Postiz for TikTok

Grok Bot makes Postiz a natural fit for your TikTok workflow. The Bot reads the plugin's skill, chains the right commands together, and keeps running from the cloud.

✓Official plugin — one command install from the marketplace
✓Always on — posts to TikTok from the cloud while you are away
✓Terminal access runs Postiz commands directly on the Bot's computer
✓Routines for hands-free daily posting
✓Cross-post to TikTok + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before publishing

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" \
