The problem it solves

Manually uploading and posting videos to TikTok on a schedule eats into your day, especially with multiple accounts to manage. It's easy to forget a post or upload the wrong file.

Who it fits

A content creator or social media manager who batches video content and wants it posted automatically.

How it works

  1. Checks your spreadsheet every hour for videos marked as pending
  2. Pulls the matching video file from Google Drive
  3. Uploads the video for posting
  4. Publishes it to TikTok with its caption
  5. Marks the row as posted in your spreadsheet
What you get

Batched videos posting themselves right on schedule

Queue up your videos in a spreadsheet, and the system checks it regularly and posts anything pending straight to TikTok for you.

What you get

TikTok posts published automatically on schedule, with a spreadsheet log of what's been posted.

What you need

A Google Drive and Sheets account, plus a TikTok posting account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
