Connecting your TikTok

By connecting your TikTok, GRIN can automatically pull in your posts and engagement numbers to deliver to the brands you are collaborating with. While you’re going through the connection process, you’ll be asked to grant specific permissions so GRIN can read and sync with your content as well as read information available on your TikTok profile. You must accept all permissions for your brands to view your posts and post metrics. These permissions do not give GRIN permission to post on your behalf, view your direct messages, or view or change your sensitive account information.

What You’ll Need

• A TikTok account
• A Live Site. If you don’t have a Live Site yet, contact your collaborating brand to generate a link for you.
• If you have multiple Live Sites with different brands and want to share your social network connections between them, which means you’ll only need to log in to each network once for all your Live Sites, you’ll also need the following: 
  • Verify each of your Live Sites. You can learn how to verify with our help article Verifying your account. 
  • The same email address set in your Live Site’s Settings. You can learn how to update your email address with our help article Managing Settings.
  • You’re part of at least one program in each Live Site

How to Do It

1. Navigate to your Live Site > Networks.
2. Next to TikTok, select Connect. 

3. If you already connected your TikTok account on another Live Site you’ll be prompted to automatically connect the same account on your current Live Site. You can review your options to auto connect below. If you aren't prompted with these options, skip this step and move on to Step 4.
   1. If you want to connect your account automatically and you only have one other Live Site to log in to, select Yes, auto connect. This will finish the connection process, and you can skip the rest of the steps in this article. 
   2. If you want to connect your account automatically and you have two or more Live Sites you can log in to, toggle on which brands' Live Sites you want to connect to, then select Yes, auto connect. This will finish the connection process, and you can skip the rest of the steps in this article 
   3. If you want to connect your account manually, select No, proceed to manually connect and continue to Step 4.
4. Enter your TikTok username and select Continue. This will open a new window. 
5. Select how you want to log in to TikTok and complete the login process.
6. When prompted to authorize with GRIN, make sure all the permissions are enabled and select Authorize.

7. If you have other Live Sites, you’ll be prompted to automatically connect your TikTok to those Live Sites as well. You can review your options to auto connect below. If you aren't prompted with these options, then you can skip this step.
   1. If you want to connect your account automatically and you only have one other Live Site to log in to, select Yes, auto connect.
   2. If you want to connect your account automatically and you have two or more Live Sites you can log in to, toggle on which brands' Live Sites you want to connect to, then select Yes, auto connect.
   3. If you don’t want to connect your account to other Live Sites, select No, I’ll do this later.

That’s it! You’ll be redirected back to your Live Site with your TikTok as a connected account. Now, your collaborating brands will now be able to automatically view your TikTok content and metrics!
