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.

📅

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 '{

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.

🧩

⏰

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: clawhub install nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Eligibility is checked automatically — POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set
✓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
clawhub install nevo-david/postiz

# Or install the CLI globally
npm install -g postiz

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify OpenClaw sees it
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Output:
# - postiz: Social media automation
#   CLI for scheduling posts
#   across 30+ platforms

TikTok Posting with OpenClaw

Message OpenClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your TikTok integration, and handles the entire posting workflow autonomously.

🦀

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord...

Send a message to OpenClaw 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.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Post my demo.mp4 to TikTok
  tomorrow at 9am, public with duets on

OpenClaw: Got it! Here's what I'll do:
  1. Upload demo.mp4 to Postiz
  2. Schedule for 2025-03-02T09:00:00Z
  3. Settings: public, duets enabled

  Done! Your TikTok post is scheduled.

Scheduled & Proactive

Cron jobs for recurring content

OpenClaw 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.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 9 * * 1-5",
      "prompt": "Check ~/videos/pending
  for new .mp4 files. For each one,
  upload to Postiz and schedule a
  TikTok post for today at noon.
  Use public privacy, enable duets
  and comments. Move posted files
  to ~/videos/posted."
    }
  ]
}

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

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" \

    "autoAddMusic": "no",
    "brand_content_toggle": false,
    "brand_organic_toggle": false,
    "content_posting_method": "DIRECT_POST"
  }' \
