Answer: Choose Send as Draft when creator editing is intentional; choose Direct Post for approved automatic publishing.
What this means in a real publishing workflow
The TikTok workflow sends the video to the connected creator account using the supported inbox-upload path. The creator may still need to open TikTok, review the draft, choose final settings, and publish manually.
Recommended implementation
- Connect the intended TikTok creator in Postifys.
- Map a reachable video URL and caption.
- Confirm consent and music-use fields required by the operation.
- Treat a successful inbox transfer separately from a public TikTok post.
How to verify the fix
Do not report the video as publicly published merely because the transfer succeeded. Your workflow status should say submitted to TikTok until the creator completes the in-app step.
Operational check: Test with one item, confirm the final destination and Postifys history state, and only then enable the recurring workflow. Keep the returned Postifys ID beside the source row so every result remains traceable.
