TikTok
Dropslate will publish to TikTok through Login Kit and the Content Posting API’s Direct Post flow: the file uploaded in chunks, privacy and the duet, stitch and comment toggles set from Compose. The connector is not shipped yet - on Accounts, TikTok is marked Soon - but its limits are already in the product’s own rules, so the table below is what the composer will check against.
Account requirements
Section titled “Account requirements”- A TikTok account you can sign in to. Personal and business accounts both work.
What you will be able to publish
Section titled “What you will be able to publish”- Video - one file, 3 seconds to 10 minutes. A title, a Privacy level (no default - TikTok requires you to choose it for every post), toggles for duets, stitches and comments, and the Altered or synthetic content flag.
- Photo post - 2 to 35 images, a title and a description.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”| Content type | Media | Text | Title | Tags | Other | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Video | 1 file video: mp4, mov, webm, duration 3 s–10 min, width ≥ 360 px, 23–60 fps | no text | 2,200 characters | — | no links | Privacy has no default: choose it for every post. |
| Photo | 2–35 files image: jpg, jpeg, png, webp, up to 20 MB, width up to 1080 px | 4,000 characters | 90 characters | — | no links | 2 to 35 photos. |

Network-specific behaviour
Section titled “Network-specific behaviour”- Text is counted in UTF-16 units: most emoji cost 2. The counter in the tab does the same.
- Privacy has no default. The plan refuses a TikTok post without a chosen privacy level.
- Audit. After the audit, the same posts publish with the privacy you chose; nothing in your setup changes.
- Analytics for TikTok is not planned for the first connector release.
