Post to TikTok from OpenClaw

OpenClaw can schedule TikTok videos through the Postiz skill. You send OpenClaw a vertical video from a chat app with a title and privacy choice, and it calls the Postiz CLI to upload the file, set duet, stitch, and comment permissions, add branded content disclosures, and publish directly or send it to your TikTok drafts.

How do you set up OpenClaw to post to TikTok?

Setup takes three commands: install the Postiz skill, sign in, and confirm OpenClaw lists it as eligible. After that you talk to OpenClaw in plain language and it runs the Postiz CLI for TikTok.

Setup once, then just ask

openclaw skills install @nevo-david/postiz
# or: npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Sign in (OAuth2 device flow) or use an API key
postiz auth:login
# or: export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Confirm OpenClaw can see the skill
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Then just ask OpenClaw from any chat app:
> Post this video to TikTok, public, allow
  duets and comments, tomorrow at 7pm

OpenClaw: Done! Your TikTok video is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

How does posting to TikTok from OpenClaw work?

You describe what you want in plain language and OpenClaw handles the Postiz calls for you. Here is how a typical conversation goes.

1

Find Your TikTok Integration

Ask OpenClaw whether your TikTok account is connected. It also checks which options the platform supports.

Example conversation

> Is my TikTok account connected to Postiz?

OpenClaw: Yes — your TikTok account is connected
  and ready. Want me to post something?
2

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.

Example conversation

> Draft a TikTok post about our new
  feature launch

OpenClaw: Here's a draft for TikTok:
  "We just shipped something big..."
  Want me to add media and schedule it?
3

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.

  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the open-source personal AI agent with 145k+ GitHub stars. It runs locally on your machine, connects through apps you already use, and takes real actions on your behalf.

💬

Works Where You Are

Message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, or 10+ other platforms. No new app to learn.

🧩

Skill-Based Architecture

OpenClaw extends its abilities through Skills — lightweight plugins defined in Markdown files. Postiz is available as a skill on ClawHub.

Proactive Automation

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. OpenClaw can post your TikTok content on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Becomes an OpenClaw Skill

When you install Postiz Agent globally, OpenClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells OpenClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose TikTok posts with the right settings.

  • Install from ClawHub with one command: openclaw skills install @nevo-david/postiz
  • OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
  • Run openclaw skills check to confirm the postiz binary and credentials are in place
  • Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
  • Works with any LLM backend: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and more

Install from ClawHub

# Install the Postiz skill from ClawHub
openclaw skills install @nevo-david/postiz

# Or with the skills CLI
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Sign in with OAuth2 (or set POSTIZ_API_KEY)
postiz auth:login

# Verify OpenClaw sees it

Scheduled & Proactive

openclaw automations for recurring content

OpenClaw automations run on cron expressions in an isolated session and can announce results to a chat channel. Create one that drafts and schedules your TikTok content through Postiz, so nothing waits on a manual trigger.

openclaw automations (cron)

openclaw automations create "0 9 * * 1-5" \
  "Take the next clip in ~/content/tiktok, write a title under 90 characters, set privacy to PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE with duets and comments on, and schedule it for 7pm." \
  --name "TikTok daily post" \
  --session isolated \
  --announce --channel telegram \
  --to "<your chat id>"

# openclaw cron is an alias for the same command

Why OpenClaw + Postiz for TikTok

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

  • Message from WhatsApp to post a TikTok — no terminal needed
  • Cron jobs for hands-free daily posting schedules
  • Structured JSON output lets OpenClaw verify each step succeeded
  • Branded content disclosures applied automatically when you mention a sponsor
  • Cross-post to TikTok + other platforms in a single conversation
  • Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude 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.

Claude Code

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

Claude: 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

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

What can you ask OpenClaw to do on TikTok?

These are real messages you can send OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord. OpenClaw maps each one to the right Postiz command and TikTok settings.

Direct public post

Send to OpenClaw

> Post this clip to TikTok tomorrow at 7pm, public, allow duets and stitches, title "Ship faster with AI agents".

Send to drafts

Send to OpenClaw

> Upload this video to my TikTok drafts as private so I can add sounds in the app.

Branded content

Send to OpenClaw

> Schedule this sponsored video for Friday at noon, mark it as branded content, and disable duets.

TikTok rules OpenClaw has to follow

Postiz enforces these TikTok constraints when OpenClaw creates a post. Knowing them up front avoids a failed request.

  • TikTok requires a video and every post needs privacy_level, duet, stitch, comment, autoAddMusic, brand_content_toggle, brand_organic_toggle, and content_posting_method. OpenClaw fills sensible defaults, but state the privacy level.
  • Titles are capped at 90 characters. Ask OpenClaw for a short hook and put hashtags in the title if you want them visible.
  • content_posting_method UPLOAD sends the video to your TikTok drafts instead of publishing. Use it when you want to add sounds or effects in the app.
  • Set video_made_with_ai when the clip is AI-generated. TikTok labels such content and expects the disclosure.

OpenClaw and TikTok: frequently asked questions

How do I post to TikTok from OpenClaw?

Install the Postiz skill in OpenClaw, run postiz auth:login, and connect your TikTok account in Postiz. Then send OpenClaw a vertical video with a title, privacy level, and time. OpenClaw uploads the file with postiz upload and schedules it with the TikTok settings applied.

Can OpenClaw send a TikTok video to drafts instead of posting?

Yes. TikTok's content_posting_method setting accepts DIRECT_POST or UPLOAD. Ask OpenClaw to "upload to drafts" and it sets UPLOAD, so the video appears in your TikTok inbox for final edits, sounds, and manual publishing inside the app. Postiz still records the upload in your calendar.

Can OpenClaw control duets, stitches, and comments on TikTok?

Yes. Each is a boolean setting in Postiz. Say "no duets" or "comments off" in your message and OpenClaw sets duet, stitch, and comment accordingly. Privacy is set separately with privacy_level, from PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE down to SELF_ONLY. OpenClaw confirms the settings before scheduling.

Does OpenClaw handle TikTok branded content disclosure?

Yes. Postiz exposes brand_content_toggle for paid partnerships and brand_organic_toggle for your own brand. Tell OpenClaw the video is sponsored and it enables the right toggle, so TikTok adds the disclosure label required by its branded content policy. Both toggles are sent with every TikTok post.

Does OpenClaw need TikTok developer access?

No. Postiz holds the TikTok OAuth connection and OpenClaw only runs the Postiz CLI. You authenticate OpenClaw with postiz auth:login or a Postiz API key, and there is no TikTok app audit or token refresh for you to manage. Postiz keeps the connection refreshed.
