TikTok For Business

In this article, we will cover:

TikTok for Business brings your brand and tagged content directly to your Board automatically. This integration allows you to spend less time searching for User Generated Content (UGC) and more time engaging with your community.

What’s New?

Our upgraded TikTok for Business integration (look for the white TikTok icon) streamlines your workflow by combining your existing Branded content with brand-new Mention discovery.

While the legacy version focused on your own posts, this enhanced integration automatically surfaces content whenever a creator tags your brand in a video caption or description. These posts now flow directly into your Content Board. This eliminates the need for manual searching and ensures you never miss a community moment.

Note: If you are using our legacy TikTok integration (black icon), your existing feeds will remain active. However, to access Mention discovery and future feature updates, you will need to connect via the new TikTok for Business (white icon) flow.

Important Technical Notes

  • Historical Data: On your first connection, the platform will fetch up to 1,000 historical mention posts.

  • Latency: New mentions are ingested via webhook, typically appearing in your board within 2–3 hours of the video being posted.

  • Captions vs. Comments: Currently, we pull in mentions within the video caption or description. Mentions within the comment section are not available to pull in currently.

  • Usage Rights: Due to TikTok's API terms, videos cannot be downloaded directly into the UGC Studio so this is still currently a manual process. We recommend DMing the creator for permission and downloading the file directly from TikTok for external use.

FAQ

Account & Integration

Does this replace my existing TikTok feeds? No, your legacy feeds will remain active. However, you can no longer create new feeds using the legacy (black icon) version. All future enhancements and new feeds will exclusively use TikTok for Business.

I already connected TikTok previously; do I need to do it again? Yes. TikTok for Business uses a different, more powerful API than our legacy version. You will need to complete a one-time authorization to enable these new features.

Can I still use the Browser Extension? The Chrome and Safari extensions currently operate on the legacy API. You can continue to use them for manual content collection, but they are not yet compatible with the automated TikTok for Business workflow.  Click here on how to add TikTok content from the Chrome Extension

Content & Usage

Can I use TikTok content in Email Hyper-Personalization? No. TikTok video files do not render within email embeds. We recommend using your TikTok feeds for Website Displays (such as our horizontal sliders) or Digital Signage.

Can I display tagged content before rights are approved? While the content is accessible in your board immediately, using UGC commercially without explicit permission is a legal decision for your brand. We recommend consulting your legal team regarding your specific rights-request workflow.

I can see a Mention on TikTok, but it isn’t showing up on my Board. Why?
If a specific post is missing from your Content Board, it is usually due to one of the following four reasons:

  • Privacy Settings: We can only ingest Public content. If the creator has set their video to "Private," "Visible only to followers," or "Friends only," the TikTok API will not allow us to pull that content into your board.
  • Account Authorization: If your TikTok for Business account authorization expired (which occasionally happens for security reasons) at the time the video was posted, the system would have been unable to "see" the mention and the content will have not been pulled in.
  • Paused Feed: Check your feed status. If your TikTok feed was manually Paused when the content was uploaded, new posts would not have been ingested during that window.
  • Team Activity: It’s possible another member of your team has already reviewed the post and Deleted it from the Board. Once a post is deleted from your Board, it cannot be automatically re-ingested.

Reporting

Is there reporting available for Mentions? Yes, you can track performance in the Insights section. Here, you can monitor the volume of incoming posts over time and identify your top-performing community creators.
