TikTok-Specific Features

🔒

Privacy Controls

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

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

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" \

Send a message to Hermes Agent from your favorite chat app. It runs as a persistent daemon on your machine, so it picks up your message, discovers your TikTok account via Postiz, uploads the video, and schedules the post — all while you go about your day.

Hermes Agent

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

Hermes Agent supports cron-based heartbeat tasks. Set up a recurring job that checks a folder for new videos and posts them to TikTok automatically — no manual trigger needed.

hermes-config.yaml

scheduled_tasks:
  - name: daily_social_posts
    schedule: "0 9 * * 1-5"
    prompt: |
      Check ~/content/posts for new
      .txt files. For each one, read
      the content and schedule a post
      to TikTok for today at noon.
      Move posted files to
      ~/content/published.

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" \
