Post to TikTok from OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a self-hosted gateway that runs on your own machine and connects an AI agent to chat apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord and iMessage, so you can message your assistant from anywhere. A video with your caption, shared with the privacy you choose; TikTok takes no text-only post.

A video with your caption, shared with the privacy you choose; TikTok takes no text-only post.
| Setting | Values | Needed | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
media_url | URL | Yes | The video: a link from your Kreatix library or a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook post, which Kreatix imports first. |
tiktok_privacy | PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE, MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS, FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR, SELF_ONLY | Yes | Who can see the video: everyone, friends, followers or only you (private), in that order. There is no default, so the agent has to ask you. |
tiktok_music_confirmed | true | Yes | Set to true once you agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation. Without it, the TikTok post is refused. |
caption | string (max 5000) | No | The video's text on TikTok. Only the first 2,200 characters go. |
Ask in plain words
A message to your OpenClaw assistant from any chat app it is connected to, or from the Control UI chat. For example: "Plan this video for my brand group tomorrow at 18:00."
- Post my newest video on both TikTok pages tomorrow at 19:00, public. I agree to TikTok's music terms.
- Take this YouTube Shorts link and post it on TikTok tonight at 21:00, followers only.
- Move Saturday's TikTok post to Sunday 12:00.
TikTok rules to know
- Kreatix never picks a privacy level for you: a TikTok post without your choice is refused.
- You must agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation, or the TikTok post is refused.
- TikTok refuses videos whose average frame rate is outside 23 to 60 fps, so Kreatix sends it a 30 fps copy and keeps your original.
- Only the first 2,200 characters of the caption go to TikTok.
- The agent schedules videos only; TikTok photo posts go from Kreatix's Publish now to your TikTok inbox.
Tips for OpenClaw
- Plan posts from your phone: message OpenClaw on WhatsApp or Telegram, and your Gateway calls Kreatix.
- Saving a server doesn't prove it works. openclaw mcp doctor kreatix --probe connects and lists the tools Kreatix offers.
- Keep the key out of config literals: write "Bearer ${KREATIX_API_KEY}" in the header and set the variable for the Gateway. openclaw mcp doctor warns about keys written in plain text.
- The agent checks the pages, caption and time with you before it posts. It cannot delete pages, read messages or change your account, and you can remove it any time in Settings > AI agent.
Questions
How do I post to TikTok from OpenClaw?
Connect OpenClaw to Kreatix once, as shown above. Then ask it to post: name your TikTok pages or a page group, the video or text and the time. OpenClaw shows you the plan and posts after you say yes.
Why does the agent ask me about privacy every time?
TikTok's rule for apps that post for you: the person picks who can see each video, and there is no default. Kreatix never picks Public for you, so a TikTok post without your choice is refused.
Can I post a YouTube Short to TikTok?
Yes. Give the agent the public link: Kreatix downloads the video into your library first (from YouTube, the best version up to 1080p), then schedules it on TikTok. If the download fails, the agent says so and nothing is scheduled.
My video was shot at a low frame rate. Will TikTok take it?
TikTok refuses videos whose average frame rate is outside 23 to 60 fps. Kreatix checks the file and sends TikTok a 30 fps copy; your original stays as it is.
Can the agent turn off comments, duets or stitches?
No. schedule_post sends TikTok only your privacy choice. The comment, duet and stitch switches, branded content and the AI label are set on Kreatix's Publish screen.
MCP server or the Kreatix skill?
Either works. The MCP server gives OpenClaw Kreatix's seven tools directly and supports Sign in with Kreatix. The ClawHub skill (@abrahimceylan/kreatix) teaches the agent to call the same server with curl and your key in KREATIX_API_KEY.
How do I sign out?
Run openclaw mcp logout kreatix. It removes the saved sign-in and keeps the server entry. To cut access for good, also delete the key in Kreatix under Settings > AI agent.
Kreatix schedules one video to every page you run, each with its own platform settings.
