TikTok

Connect your TikTok Business account so direct messages from TikTok arrive in the Team Inbox next to WhatsApp, Instagram and your other channels. The TikTok integration is in Beta.

Before you start​

  • A TikTok Business Account.
  • Regional availability: TikTok messaging is available for business accounts worldwide, except accounts signed up in the United States, the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the UK. The TikTok card is not shown on accounts hosted in India.
  • Turn on direct messages first: in the TikTok app, set your Business Account to accept direct messages from everyone. Otherwise TikTok treats new messages as message requests, and they only reach Whautomate after you accept each request in the TikTok app.
  • You need to be an admin.

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations and click Connect on the TikTok card.
