Add an Owned Profile for Your TikTok Account

Add a TikTok account that you own or manage as an owned (private) profile to your Emplifi account. Having a TikTok account as an owned profile allows you to see the insights of the account and to post content to the TikTok account directly from Emplifi.

To know more about owned and public profiles, see Add a Profile as Owned (Private) or Public.

This article is for the users who have an account role with the “Add Pages & Profiles” permission (that is, for Account Admins and the users who have a custom account role with the “Add Pages & Profiles” permission under the Pages & Profiles section; see Account Roles).

Add an owned profile for your TikTok account

Steps:

  1. In a browser, log in to your TikTok account.

  2. In the same browser window, access Emplifi, and go to Settings -> Channels -> Social profiles.

  3. Click +Add profile.
    The dialog for adding a new data source pops up.

  4. Click Connect owned profiles.
    You are prompted to select a social media platform.

    (info) If it is the first time you are attempting to add a profile for a TikTok account to Emplifi, you are asked to allow Emplifi to access all the relevant data required. Review the requested data permissions and allow Emplifi to access the data.

    Emplifi accesses the data from TikTok, and the dialog shows the TikTok account.
