# How to post to TikTok

OpusClip gives you two ways to post your clips to TikTok:

1. **TikTok Inbox** - Sends your clip to the TikTok mobile app via system notification, where you can preview, edit, and post to your **Feed or Story**
2. **TikTok Feed** - Automatically schedules and posts your clip directly to your **Feed** without using the TikTok app

Each method is designed for a different type of workflow — choose the one that fits your content style and publishing needs.

## What is TikTok Inbox?

TikTok Inbox lets you instantly transfer clips from Opus to your TikTok mobile app via a **system notification**. It's the fastest way to get your clip into TikTok for **manual editing and publishing** using TikTok's native tools.
Unlike TikTok's **scheduled Feed posting**, which supports direct publishing, TikTok Inbox is a **manual publishing method**. Your clip is delivered to the app as a **draft notification**, where you can **open it, make edits, and post it yourself**.

## Why use TikTok Inbox?

* **TikTok Inbox** is ideal when you want to **manually post or edit your clip inside the TikTok app**
* It's useful for adding native effects, music, or editing before publishing
* It's the **only TikTok workflow in Opus that supports draft delivery via mobile notification**
* For automatic **Feed posts**, use the **TikTok Auto-Publish option** instead when available

## Which method to choose?

# FAQ

## Why Can't I Schedule to TikTok Inbox?

Unlike TikTok Feed, clips are handed off to the TikTok mobile app as **draft notifications on your selected date and time** — not published or pre-scheduled posts to your Feed.

If you want to post automatically to TikTok in advance, consider using the **Feed** option.

## Can I edit the clip before posting?

Yes. Once the clip appears in your TikTok Inbox (under **System Notifications**), you can trim, add music, captions, filters, or text using TikTok's native editing tools before publishing.

## Where does the clip go after I click "Publish Now”?

For **TikTok Inbox** your clip is sent directly to the **TikTok mobile app** and appears under **Inbox → System Notifications**. It will not appear in your Drafts tab unless you manually save it there after opening.

For **TikTok Feed**, your clip can be found in your **profile**.

## What if I don't see the notification in TikTok?

* Make sure you're logged into the same TikTok account you connected in OpusClip
* Check **System Notifications**, not regular messages or Drafts
* If it still doesn't appear, try force-closing and reopening the TikTok app after 1-2 minutes

## Can I send the same clip again if I missed the notification?

Yes. Simply return to the clip in Opus, click the calendar icon again, and choose **Publish Now** to TikTok Inbox a second time.
