Overview
By connecting your TikTok account, 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.
Warning: If you don't connect your TikTok account and your brand requests TikTok content and metrics, you'll need to manually upload and provide those stats for each post on your Live Site. Learn more with our help article Manually Uploading Content.
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 on your Live Site Settings page. 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.
