TikTok
Updated September 3, 2026
Connecting TikTok lets you plan and publish TikTok videos and photo posts from Pluspoint alongside your other social channels. Each connected TikTok account is attached to one Pluspoint location. A multi-location team can run a separate TikTok account per site and manage them all in one place.
Before you start
- Your team’s Account Settings permission must be Full, or you must be the account owner.
- You need the sign-in details for the TikTok account you want to publish from.
- Create at least one location first — the TikTok account is attached to a location.
Where to find it
Settings → Integrations, or go to https://app.pluspoint.io/account-settings/integrations.
Connect a TikTok account
- Select Add integration.
- Type
TikTokinto Search integrations, then select Connect on the TikTok row. - Pluspoint sends you to TikTok’s authorisation page. Sign in with the TikTok account you want to publish from.
- Grant both permissions TikTok asks for. Declining either one fails the connect.
- When TikTok returns you to Pluspoint, the Manage integration modal opens with a single row for the connected account.
- Choose Connect to location, pick the location from the Location dropdown, and select Save.
Permissions Pluspoint requests
| Permission | What Pluspoint uses it for |
|---|---|
user.info.basic | Read the creator’s basic profile so Pluspoint can label the connection and check what the account is allowed to publish |
video.publish | Publish videos and photo posts directly to the account |
Pluspoint publishes with TikTok’s Direct Post method only, so content goes straight to the account rather than into the creator’s TikTok inbox to be finished there.
Attach TikTok to a location
TikTok has no per-Page or per-listing list, so Manage integration shows one row for the whole account. Reopen it any time with Manage on the TikTok row. From there you can move the account to a different location, or set it to Don’t connect.
The Location dropdown hides locations that already have a TikTok account attached, so each location holds at most one.
You can also start from the location: open a location at https://app.pluspoint.io/locations/manage, find the Integrations section and use Connect Profile on the TikTok row. If more than one TikTok account is connected, Pluspoint asks which one to use before linking.
Note You can connect several TikTok accounts. Each gets its own row, identified by its TikTok account, and can be attached to a different location.
What connecting TikTok gives you
Publishing, and nothing else — TikTok brings no reviews and no conversations into Pluspoint. Create posts in Creating and scheduling posts and review their performance in Social analytics.
Publishing limits
| Rule | Limit |
|---|---|
| Videos per post | 1 |
| Images per photo post | 35 |
| Mixing photos and videos in one post | Not allowed |
| Video source | The file must be uploaded through Pluspoint. TikTok cannot publish a video from an external URL |
| Post privacy | Chosen per post on the TikTok tab, from the audiences the connected account offers. See Post settings below |
Full cross-platform limits are in Platform requirements and limits.
Post settings
A post that targets TikTok cannot be scheduled until its TikTok tab in the post editor is filled in. Pluspoint sends exactly what you choose there; nothing is chosen for you.
| Setting | What to know |
|---|---|
| Who can view this post | Required, and empty until you pick. The list holds only the audiences every targeted TikTok account offers, so one private account narrows it for the whole post. If two accounts share no audience at all, the tab names one of them; remove it and schedule it separately. |
| Allow viewers to comment, duet or stitch | All off until you turn them on. An option the creator has switched off in the TikTok app is greyed out and stays off. Photo posts offer comments only. |
| Disclose commercial content | Turn it on when the post promotes your own business (Your brand), a third party (Branded content), or both. Branded content cannot go out as Only me. |
| Video length | A TikTok account can allow less than the 10-minute limit. The editor checks the video against each targeted account and names the one it is too long for. |
The preview panel shows the TikTok account each location posts as, with the name and avatar TikTok reports at that moment. If TikTok is not accepting posts from one of the accounts, the tab says so and scheduling waits until it does.
TikTok can take a few minutes to show a post on the profile after it is published. The post stays at Publishing in the table until then.
Reconnect a TikTok account
A row shows Reconnect when its status is Disconnected — access was revoked in TikTok, or the account’s credentials changed. Pluspoint emails the account when this happens. A healthy connection normally maintains itself.
- Select Reconnect on the TikTok row.
- Sign in with the same TikTok account and grant both permissions again.
Reconnecting the same account restores its location link. Signing in with a different TikTok account creates a new row instead.
Disconnect a TikTok account
- Select Delete on the TikTok row, or Delete at the bottom left of the Manage integration modal.
- Confirm on the Delete integration? dialog.
| What happens | Detail |
|---|---|
| Access revoked at TikTok | Pluspoint’s token is revoked at TikTok. |
| Social profile removed | The TikTok profile record is deleted. TikTok carries no reviews, so no review data is lost. |
| Location link removed | The location’s TikTok connection is removed and the row disappears from the table. |
| Publishing stops | Scheduled posts can no longer be published to that account. |
| The location’s TikTok link stays | The TikTok URL saved on the location’s social links is a location field, so it survives the disconnect. |
Deleting one TikTok row leaves any other connected TikTok accounts untouched.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| ”Couldn’t connect integration” straight after TikTok’s screen | One of the two required permissions was declined, or TikTok returned no creator profile | Start the connect again and grant both permissions |
| Everyone is missing from Who can view this post | At least one targeted TikTok account is private, so TikTok offers it no public audience | Switch that account to public in the TikTok app, or schedule it in a separate post |
| ”These TikTok accounts share no privacy option” | The targeted accounts offer no common audience | Remove the account the message names, or schedule it in a separate post |
| ”Longer than @account allows on TikTok” | That TikTok account allows shorter videos than the 10-minute limit | Trim the video, or customise the TikTok tab with a shorter clip |
| A post failed with “The privacy option you chose is no longer available” | The account changed its privacy after you scheduled | Retry once the account offers that audience again, or schedule a new post with a different audience |
| ”TikTok can only publish videos uploaded through Pluspoint — upload the file or remove TikTok” | The post references a video by external URL | Upload the video file in the post editor, or remove TikTok from that post |
| Connect Profile on a location is greyed out with “Connect your TikTok account in the Integration settings to continue” | No TikTok account is connected on the Integrations page | Connect TikTok under Settings → Integrations, then come back to the location |
| The location you want is missing from the Location dropdown | It already has a TikTok account attached | Detach it there first, or pick another location |
