dlvr.it lets you automatically publish video and image-carousel content from your sources to TikTok.
How TikTok publishing works in dlvr.it
TikTok supports two types of publishing through dlvr.it:
Automatic publishing — dlvr.it publishes your video directly to TikTok as soon as new content is detected in your source. No action needed on your end.
Scheduled publishing — dlvr.it publishes your video to TikTok on your posting schedule. Once you build the TikTok post in dlvr.it and schedule it, there’s no action needed on your end.
Connecting your TikTok account
To connect your TikTok account to dlvr.it, log into the TikTok account you want to connect before starting the connection process — dlvr.it connects to whichever account is currently active in your browser.
You can connect multiple TikTok accounts to dlvr.it. To avoid connecting the wrong one, log into the correct TikTok account in another browser tab before connecting each one.
For help reconnecting an expired TikTok account, see Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it.
Publishing limits and rules
A few TikTok posting limits and rules worth knowing:
Caption length — up to 2,200 characters.
Daily posting limit — up to 25 posts per 24 hours to a single TikTok account.
Hashtags — up to 5 per post. They become clickable once the post is live on TikTok.
Mentions — include the account’s exact handle in your post content. Once published, the mention becomes a link on TikTok.
Music, stickers, and polls — not available. Due to TikTok API limitations, dlvr.it can’t access TikTok’s native audio library, stickers, or polls.

Once your video has finished uploading, click Edit Thumbnail.
Drag the slider to the frame you’d like to use as the cover image.
Click Save.
The frame you select is used as the thumbnail when your video is viewed on your TikTok profile.

FAQ
Can dlvr.it add music or trending audio to my TikTok posts? No — TikTok’s API doesn’t provide third-party access to its native audio library. To add music, publish the post directly in the TikTok app.

What if my TikTok connection stops working? Access tokens can expire after a password change or a TikTok security update. See Reconnecting a social channel in dlvr.it for steps to restore the connection.
