  6. Copy your Client Key (App ID) and Client Secret

Step 2 — Connect in PromotiAI

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations
  2. Click the TikTok card
  3. Choose Quick Setup or Step-by-Step Guide
  4. Paste your Client Key and Client Secret, then click Connect

Publishing Notes

TikTok requires video content for most ad formats. When publishing AI-generated social posts to TikTok, attach a video or image in the Add Media step of the workflow. Content is submitted directly upon clicking Publish Now.
