What Wahlu does on TikTok
Claude works through Wahlu's tools, so it can set the TikTok options Wahlu supports.
TikTok settings on a draft
- Privacy
- Everyone, followers, friends or only you. The agent asks TikTok which options your account allows right now before setting one.
- Interactions
- Allow or turn off comments, Duets and Stitches.
- Music
- Let TikTok add music to a photo post automatically.
- AI-generated content
- Label the post as AI-generated.
- Commercial content
- Disclose a post that promotes your own brand or is branded content for another.
TikTok posts need your agreement to TikTok's publishing terms before they can go out, and Wahlu never picks a privacy setting for you.

TikTok limits to know

TikTok: Direct Post referencePhoto posts take a description of up to 4,000 characters and a title of up to 90.

Getting video to TikTok
The hosted connection can't open files on your computer. Give the agent a public link to import, pick from your brand's media library, or attach an image the agent can pass on as data. For video, a public link or your media library is usually easiest.

Checked against the Claude Help Center on 24 September 2026. Menus can change; if a step doesn't match what you see, follow the vendor's current instructions.
The same steps work on claude.ai and in Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise plans, an organisation owner first adds the connector in Organization settings → Connectors (Add, then Custom → Web); members then click Connect next to it in Customize → Connectors. Free plans allow one custom connector.
You stay in control.
Every Wahlu plan includes agent access, through MCP and the API. You choose the workspace, brands and permissions each connection gets, and can disconnect it at any time.
Held until you approve
Agents create schedules at pending_review unless you've told them to publish. A held schedule can't publish until you approve it in the Wahlu calendar.
Publishing is its own permission
Publish to social accounts is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.
Checked before it's scheduled
preflight_draft reports anything that would stop a post, such as media the network won't accept or a caption that's too long, without changing anything.
Some things stay in the app
Queues, general edits to existing drafts, approvals and connecting social accounts happen in the Wahlu app, not through your agent.
