# Post to TikTok from Buildy

Buildy publishes photos, photo carousels of up to 9 images, and videos to TikTok. Connect TikTok once in **Social Media**. When you publish, choose to post directly or save a draft in your TikTok inbox.

## Steps

1. Open **Social Media** from **Dashboard**, or **Tools** on a phone.
2. Click **Connect accounts** or **Manage connections**, choose **TikTok** in the panel, then click **Connect TikTok**. Sign in and allow Buildy to post.
3. Click **New Post**, choose TikTok, a post type and a topic, then click **Continue** and **Start with Buildy**. Turn on **Carousel post** for a set of photos.
4. For a video, open **Images & Video**, click **Create a Video**, and ask for a vertical video. See [Generate videos](/docs/build/generate-videos). When it is ready, click **Send to a social post**.
5. Open the draft, check the caption, and click **Publish to TikTok**. In the **Post to TikTok** dialog, under **How to post**, choose:
   - **Post to TikTok** to publish now.
   - **Save as draft in TikTok** to get a draft in your TikTok inbox. You add sounds and effects and post it in the TikTok app.

## Good to know

- Each post goes to one TikTok account.
- TikTok ads are separate. They run through the TikTok Ads page in **Ads**.

## Common problems

### "TikTok is temporarily limiting new posts for this account. Please try again later."

TikTok limits how many posts one account can publish in a day. Try again later, or choose **Save as draft in TikTok**.

### The video is the wrong shape

TikTok wants vertical video. Ask for "a vertical 9:16 video" when you create it.
