Publishing to TikTok

Once you've connected your TikTok account and have content in your library, you're ready to publish.

Publishing a Post

1. Open a post from the library
2. Click Publish Now or Schedule
3. Choose which connected TikTok account to post from
4. Set the privacy level
5. Review the caption and hashtags
6. Confirm and publish

Vibescaling uploads your slides to TikTok and creates the post. You'll see a confirmation once it's live.

Via API

Publish a post programmatically:

POST /api/v1/posts/:id/publish

{
  "tiktok_account_id": "uuid-of-connected-account"
}

Privacy Levels

When publishing, you choose who can see the post:

You can change the privacy level on TikTok after publishing.

What Gets Published

Vibescaling creates a photo carousel post on TikTok containing:

• All slide images from the post, in order
• The first slide as the cover image
• Your caption and hashtags as the post text

Post Status After Publishing

After you publish, the action is logged in Vibescaling. You can see:

• When it was published
• Which TikTok account it was posted to
• The TikTok publish ID for reference
• Whether it succeeded or failed

Troubleshooting

"Account token expired"

Your TikTok access token may have expired. Tokens usually refresh automatically, but if there's an issue:

1. Go to Settings → TikTok
2. Disconnect the account
3. Reconnect it

"Post not in publishable state"

Only posts with draft or scheduled status can be published.

"Publishing failed"

This can happen if:

• TikTok's servers are temporarily unavailable
• The slide images are too large or in an unsupported format
• Your TikTok account has posting restrictions

Try again after a few minutes. If the issue persists, contact support@vibescaling.org.
