How an IFTTTer (us) automates their TikTok

Running a successful TikTok presence is a goal for many content creators and businesses alike. The excitement of reaching a massive audience, building a personal brand, and even driving sales through engaging videos attracts many people to the platform. However, behind the viral moments and creative clips, there are multitude of challenges and intricate details that need to be managed to keep a TikTok account thriving.

The Challenge

TikTok creators and businesses often face an overwhelming workload. From planning and shooting videos to keeping up with trends and engaging with followers, there’s a lot on one plate. One of the most time-consuming tasks for maintaining visibility and growing an audience is ensuring regular and consistent cross-posting across your different social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram.

As a business with a TikTok presence ourselves, we understand these challenges firsthand. However, integrating IFTTT into your workflow offers a powerful solution to these challenges. By connecting TikTok with over 1000 other services through IFTTT, you can automate cross-posting, streamline content distribution, and keep your audience engaged across multiple platforms with less effort. This not only helps maintain your online presence, but it allows you to shift your focus on creating more quality content and interacting with your followers to build a stronger relationship.

How to automate TikTok with IFTTT

As a business with our own TikTok presence, we faced two key challenges: promoting our new TikTok videos and cross-posting them across various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. To streamline these tasks, we created Applets to automate the process to automate the process and ensure our content reaches a broader audience efficiently. Check out this video to learn how to do it yourself!

Here are two examples of the Applets we created:

Whenever you upload a new video on TikTok, automatically add it to your collection in Nuelink. This helps centralize your content and makes it easier to manage and share across multiple platforms.

Whenever we post a new TikTok video, then upload video from the URL to our YouTube channel. This is particularly beneficial for reaching audiences on YouTube, especially with the growing popularity of YouTube Shorts, as many creators cross-post their short-form videos on both platforms. Automating this process allows us to tap into a different platform without additional manual effort, broadening our content’s visibility and engagement.

Now, we’ll show you how to create your own Applets to address similar needs.
