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.
Please make sure there is always a human in the loop.

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code, which has its own guide for posting to TikTok from Claude Code.
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.

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.
