    ​Important: Make sure you're logged into the correct account on tiktok.com before connecting.

  4. Once you've authorized the connection, you'll be redirected back to Ordinal and your account will be connected.


Account Types and Required Permissions

To ensure a smooth connection and enable all scheduling features, you'll need to grant a few permissions.

Required Permissions: When you connect your account, TikTok will ask you to approve the following permissions. You must accept all of them for the integration to work correctly.

  • Access basic user information: Allows us to see your basic profile details.

  • Access profile info and stats: Lets us display your username, profile picture, and view your profile's statistics.

  • Manage videos: Grants permission to list, upload, and publish videos on your behalf.


Troubleshooting Common Issues

Running into a snag? Here are some common issues and how to resolve them.

Connected the Wrong Account

If you've accidentally connected the wrong TikTok profile, you'll first need to disconnect it. Then, log out of that account on tiktok.com, log in to the correct one, and repeat the connection steps.

"Please accept all permissions" Error

This message appears if not all required permissions were granted during the authorization process on TikTok. To fix this, please restart the connection process and ensure you approve all requested permissions.

"Account already connected to another workspace" Error

A TikTok profile can only be connected to one workspace at a time. If you see this error, you must disconnect the profile from the other workspace before you can add it to a new one.

Profile Needs to be Reconnected

Sometimes, the connection to your TikTok profile may need to be refreshed. If this happens, a Reconnect button will appear next to your profile on the Social Profiles page. Simply click it and re-authorize the connection to get things working again.
