# How to schedule TikTok posts URL: https://blackbox.plus/guides/schedule-tiktok-posts Level 3: Post it (https://blackbox.plus/guides/post-it) Updated: 2026-11-04 Time: about 3 minutes You'll end with: A TikTok post scheduled, with who can see it, comments and labels set Do it in Blackbox: https://blackbox.plus/app/plan > Schedule TikTok posts from Blackbox: choose who can see it, comments and any commercial label, then post now or pick a time, alongside Instagram. ## Short answer To schedule TikTok posts with Blackbox (blackbox.plus), connect your TikTok account, open a ready post from Plan, go to step 3, Post, and pick the TikTok account, with Instagram too if you like. A TikTok panel opens. Under Who can see this, pick Everyone, Friends, Followers or Only me; nothing is chosen for you, and until TikTok audits the Blackbox app only Only me is available. Leave Allow comments on or switch it off. If the post promotes a brand, product or service, tick commercial content and choose Your brand or Branded content, which adds TikTok's label. The panel shows the title, taken from the caption's first line without hashtags and up to 90 characters, and the description. Then click Publish, or Schedule for a time between 2 minutes and 180 days ahead. Pictures go as a photo post and a video as a video. TikTok does not let apps delete posts. ## You'll need - **A post ready in Studio.** Pictures or a video, with a caption — made with AI or uploaded. (Guide: https://blackbox.plus/guides/upload-your-own-photos-or-video) - **TikTok connected.** Connected to the brand the post files under. (Guide: https://blackbox.plus/guides/connect-tiktok) ## How to schedule TikTok posts in Blackbox 1. **Open the post.** Click **Plan**, then the post on its day. With no day, it is in the brand’s **Library**. You'll see: The post, with its slides and the **Caption**, **Check** and **Post** steps. Starts at: https://blackbox.plus/app/plan ![Plan’s calendar for Daybreak Coffee Co.: a week of posts and suggestions, with a scheduled post ringed on its day](https://blackbox.plus/guides/shared/open-post.png) 2. **Go to Post.** Click step 3, **Post**. You'll see: **Where it goes**, with an **Organic** card and a **Paid** card. 3. **Pick your TikTok account.** In **Organic**, click your TikTok account — and your Instagram account too, if you want both. You'll see: A TikTok panel, starting with **Posting as** and your account. ![Where it goes, Organic: the TikTok and Instagram accounts ringed as picked, and Going to 2 accounts, in one send](https://blackbox.plus/guides/schedule-instagram-posts/03-accounts.png) 4. **Choose who can see it.** Under **Who can see this**, pick **Everyone**, **Friends**, **Followers** or **Only me**. You'll see: Your choice picked — until TikTok audits Blackbox, only **Only me** is offered. ![The TikTok panel: Posting as the TikTok account, Who can see this with Only me ringed, Allow comments switched on, Commercial content and How TikTok will show it](https://blackbox.plus/guides/schedule-tiktok-posts/04-who.png) 5. **Set comments.** Leave **Allow comments** on, or switch it off. You'll see: The switch the way you want it. 6. **Mark commercial content.** If the post promotes something, tick **This post promotes a brand, product or service**. Then choose **Your brand**, **Branded content**, or both. You'll see: The label TikTok will add: "Promotional content" or "Paid partnership". ![The TikTok panel with This post promotes a brand, product or service ticked and the Your brand and Branded content choices ringed](https://blackbox.plus/guides/schedule-tiktok-posts/06-commercial.png) 7. **Check the title and description.** Read the **Title** and **Description** TikTok will show.

This is TikTok’s rule for apps it has not reviewed yet. - The title is your caption’s first line without hashtags, up to 90 characters, unless you wrote a TikTok title on the Caption step. The description is the caption, up to 4,000. - Branded content cannot be posted as Only me. - If comments are off for the whole account, Allow comments is locked off here too. - Pictures go to TikTok as a photo post; a video goes as a video. TikTok sets a maximum video length for each account. - A scheduled time can be 2 minutes to 180 days ahead. By posting you agree to TikTok’s Music Usage Confirmation, as the panel notes. - Blackbox can’t delete a TikTok post. Delete it in the TikTok app; the post page links to TikTok’s instructions. - If a post shows Failed or Needs checking, see [If a post didn't go out: failed, needs checking, send again](https://blackbox.plus/guides/post-did-not-go-out). ## Official docs - [TikTok: posting rules for apps](https://developers.tiktok.com/docs/en/content-sharing-guidelines) - [TikTok: photo post title and description](https://developers.tiktok.com/docs/en/content-posting-api-reference-photo-post) ## Questions people ask **My TikTok post can only be Only me** TikTok restricts apps it has not audited yet to private posts, so the other choices are not offered. Post it, then change who can see it in the TikTok app. **My carousel went to TikTok as a photo post** That is how TikTok takes a carousel: the slides go out as a photo post, in the same order. Pick both accounts to send it to Instagram and TikTok in one go. **My video was refused as too long** TikTok sets the longest video each account can post, and the message says what it is for yours. Trim the video and upload it again. **I’m not sure whether to tick commercial content** Tick it whenever the post promotes something. Your brand adds “Promotional content”; Branded content, for a paid partnership with another brand, adds “Paid partnership”. **There’s no delete button for my TikTok post** Blackbox can’t delete a TikTok post. Click Open it on TikTok on the post and delete it in the app.
