Quick answer

What Postifys supports

Postifys uploads an eligible video to the connected creator’s TikTok inbox. The creator reviews and completes the post in TikTok. Direct public posting requires separate TikTok product approval and scopes.

Media and post types

Supported publishing shapes

  • Eligible video uploads to the TikTok creator inbox
Publishing method

Dashboard, API, or n8n

Connect a TikTok creator account, submit a video through Postifys, then finish publishing inside TikTok when the draft arrives in the creator inbox.

Permissions

Required access

TikTok creator authorization for the upload-to-inbox workflow approved for Postifys. Direct Post is a separate TikTok capability and is not claimed as available here.

Media requirements

Before you enqueue

Provide a completed vertical video that meets TikTok’s supported formats and duration limits. Do not claim the video is live publicly until the creator finishes the TikTok publish step.

Platform restrictions

Limitations to design around

  • Current production workflow is upload-to-inbox, not Direct Post to a public profile.
  • The creator must complete publishing inside TikTok after the inbox upload.
  • Video eligibility still follows TikTok media and policy rules.
API example

POST /api/tiktok/post

Authenticate with your Postifys API key and pass the connected account field tiktokAccountId.

curl -X POST https://postifys.com/api/tiktok/post \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "caption": "Draft for creator review",
  "mediaUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/tiktok.mp4",
  "tiktokAccountId": "CONNECTED_CREATOR_ID"
}'
n8n workflow example

Select TikTok in the Postifys n8n node, map caption/media, and choose the creator account. Expect an inbox upload outcome unless Direct Post is separately approved later.

Common errors

What usually breaks first

  • Expecting an immediate public post — inbox upload still requires creator completion in TikTok.
  • Ineligible video — fix duration/format and retry.
  • Creator not connected — reconnect TikTok in Postifys.
