How to Publish TikTok videos

There are 3 ways in which you can publish TikTok videos in Planable. In this article, we'll explore each option.

You can choose how you want your TikTok videos to be published in your page settings. Each TikTok account will have its own publishing process.

Now let's dive into each publishing option:

1. Publishing with Business Account (Directly to TikTok Feed)

This option lets you schedule content and have it automatically published to your TikTok feed, just like on other platforms.

To make the most of this option, ensure your video is fully edited and ready to be scheduled, as no further edits can be made in the TikTok app, due to API limitations.

Here's what you need to keep in mind:

• You need a TikTok business account (here's how to easily switch account types)

• The character limit for each post is 2,200 characters

• Once the video is scheduled, you won’t be able to add or edit TikTok music or effects

• Ensure your videos meet these criteria:

  • Video Duration: Minimum 3 seconds, Maximum 10 minutes

  • Size: Maximum 1 GB

  • Video Resolution:

    • Width: Minimum 360 px, Maximum 4096 px

    • Height: Minimum 360 px, Maximum 4096 px

After creating your TikTok post in Planable, you can either schedule it or publish it immediately. Once published, the video will appear in your TikTok feed.

2. Publishing from TikTok's Inbox

This option sends your videos directly to your TikTok inbox and doesn’t require the Planable mobile app. It’s ideal if you want to use TikTok’s music library or make last-minute edits directly on the platform.

• You can publish on any type of TikTok account

• Your caption will not be copied to TikTok’s inbox

• You can edit the videos in TikTok before publishing

• Publishing videos through the TikTok Inbox comes with the following requirements:

  • Video Duration: Minimum 3 seconds, Maximum 10 minutes

  • File Size: Maximum 4 GB

  • Video Resolution:

    • Width: Minimum 540 px, Maximum 1080 px

    • Height: Minimum 960 px, Maximum 1920 px

Inbox publishing supports videos with a 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical orientation) and is great for standard video content.

After creating your content in Planable, you can either schedule it or publish it immediately. When it’s time to publish, the TikTok video is sent to your TikTok account. You’ll receive a notification, which you can find under "System Notifications" in the inbox section.

Once you open the notification, you'll see the video and can make any necessary edits before publishing it directly from the TikTok app.

3. Publishing with Planable's Mobile App

Publishing TikToks through our mobile app works the same way as publishing Instagram Stories or Reels (if you choose this option). This is ideal for publishing longer videos on TikTok.

• You can publish on any type of TikTok account

• The character limit for each post is 2,200 characters

• You can edit the videos in TikTok before publishing

When using the TikTok Mobile App to publish videos, the requirements are:

• Video Duration: Minimum 3 seconds, Maximum 10 minutes

• File Size: Maximum 4 GB

• Video Resolution:

  • Same as Business Account:

    • Width: Minimum 360 px, Maximum 4096 px

    • Height: Minimum 360 px, Maximum 4096 px

The Mobile App allows for the highest quality videos, similar to Business Account publishing, with the added flexibility of uploading directly from your device.

To publish your TikTok videos directly from Planable, follow these steps:

First, make sure to download the Planable mobile app and enable push notifications. When it’s time to publish, you’ll receive a notification on your Planable mobile app. Tapping the notification will open the TikTok app, where the video will be imported and the caption copied. From there, you can make any edits, paste the caption, and publish your video.

Set user for publishing notifications

In Planable you can also choose which user should receive publishing notifications on their Planable mobile app. Only one user can be selected to receive them.
