TikTok × PostFast Integration
TikTok is famous for its unique video-based shortform content, and it's one of the fastest growing social media platforms in recent time. With its explosive growth and highly engaged user base, TikTok has become an essential platform for brands and creators alike.
Posting on TikTok as a business is a great way to reach a wide audience, engage with potential customers, and ultimately drive sales - it presents an incredible opportunity to connect with a large and diverse group of people.

When you connect your TikTok account, TikTok asks you to let PostFast see your profile and its stats, see your videos and how they perform, read and manage comments, and upload and publish posts for you.
Media on every post
Every TikTok post needs a video or up to 10 images, drafts included. Captions can be up to 4,000 characters on photo posts and 2,200 when the post has a video.

TikTok Scheduling FAQs
Can I schedule TikTok videos from my desktop?
Yes! PostFast lets you upload and schedule TikTok videos directly from your desktop browser. No need to transfer files to your phone or interrupt your workflow - just upload, write your caption, add hashtags, and schedule.
Can I schedule TikTok posts as Drafts?
Yes! You can schedule to TikTok as a Draft from PostFast, so you can later add subtitles, music, and final edits directly in the TikTok app before publishing. Once you publish the draft from your TikTok inbox, PostFast automatically detects it and starts tracking analytics. No action is required on your end.
How do I cross-post TikTok videos to Instagram Reels?
PostFast makes cross-posting simple. When scheduling a TikTok video, just select Instagram Reels (and Facebook Reels if desired) as additional platforms. Your video will automatically post to all selected platforms at your scheduled time.
Can I create TikTok carousel posts?
Absolutely! TikTok carousels (photo slideshows) are great for tutorials, before/after content, and storytelling. Upload multiple images, add music, and PostFast will create and publish your carousel automatically.
What's the best time to post on TikTok?
TikTok engagement varies by audience, but generally peaks in the early morning (6-7 AM) and evening (7-11 PM). PostFast lets you schedule content for these prime times even when you're sleeping or busy with other tasks.
Does PostFast support TikTok hashtags and trending sounds?
Yes! Add relevant hashtags to your scheduled posts to increase discoverability. Photo and video posts both have a sound picker in the composer: Choose a trending sound browses TikTok's Commercial Music Library, filtered by genre and trending period. Auto, where TikTok picks the sound, works on photo posts only. On a video, the track you choose plays at 50% volume over the video's own sound, which also plays at 50%. A chosen sound is applied when PostFast publishes the post directly, not on drafts.
Can I view analytics for my TikTok posts?
Yes! PostFast provides full analytics for TikTok content including views, likes, comments, shares, and engagement rates, plus video watch-time (average and total seconds watched, the full-video completion rate, and favorites), which TikTok reports about 24 to 48 hours after publishing. Analytics data is automatically updated every 6 hours for the first 2 weeks after publishing, then daily. You can also manually refresh individual posts anytime.
Does PostFast track my TikTok follower count?
Yes! PostFast captures your TikTok follower count once a day and builds a day-by-day growth history you can review over time, the same way it tracks Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and other connected accounts.
Can I schedule an automatic first comment on TikTok?
Yes, as long as comments are enabled on the post. PostFast publishes your first comment automatically right after the video goes live, up to 1,200 characters, which is perfect for pinning a link, a call to action, or extra context. If a first comment comes back unsupported, reconnect the TikTok account and try again.
Do draft posts get analytics too?
Yes! When you publish a TikTok draft from your inbox, PostFast automatically detects it within 12 hours and links it back to your scheduled post. From that point, analytics (views, likes, comments, and shares) are tracked just like any directly published post. This works automatically for all draft posts from the last 30 days, no action required.
