With HeyOrca's TikTok Direct Publishing, you can plan and automatically publish your TikToks directly from the content calendar, saving time and simplifying client content sharing. This guide walks you through connecting your TikTok account, creating posts, and managing thumbnails to keep your TikTok presence active and engaging. 🎊

*TikTok Direct Publishing is available for Personal and Business Accounts!

Step 1: Connect your Business or Personal TikTok account.

Before you start scheduling, you'll need to connect a TikTok personal, or business account. To learn how to connect a business account, check out the guide below!

Note: If you've already got a TikTok Personal Account connected, you may need to reauthorize it to enable direct publishing.

Step 2: On the content calendar, create a new post, and select your connected TikTok account.

Step 3: Upload your video, and add your caption to your post on the calendar.

Step 4: Select your TikTok thumbnail.

To choose your thumbnail, press the three dots near your attached video and press edit.

From there, use the thumbnail slider to choose the thumbnail you would like to select. You can choose a frame from the video to be the selected thumbnail for your TikTok.

Note: At this time, we can not add custom thumbnails to TikToks that are being published directly.

Step 5: Once your TikTok is approved on the calendar, your video will be automatically published at the scheduled time! 🙌

Now, your TikTok is live on the app!
