How it works

From connecting an account to seeing a published post's numbers — what Azim Social does at each step, and what TikTok does.

  1. 1

    You sign in and connect your accounts

    You sign in with Continue with Google — that's your Azim Social account. From the console's Connections page you then connect TikTok (TikTok's own authorization page, via Login Kit) and YouTube (Google's consent screen). Azim Social never sees a password; each platform shows you exactly which permissions are being requested.

    When you approve, the platform redirects back with a one-time code that Azim Social exchanges for an access token. Tokens are stored server-side (Google's encrypted) and are never exposed to your browser.

  2. 2

    Azim Social checks what you're allowed to post

    Before showing the composer, Azim Social asks TikTok's creator_info endpoint for your current posting options — nickname, and which privacy levels your account may use right now. Those become the only choices offered, so a post cannot fail for asking TikTok something it would refuse.

  3. 3

    You queue a post

    Pick the video file, write the caption, choose a privacy level, and set a publish time. Azim Social stores the video and records the post as scheduled. Nothing is sent to TikTok yet.

  4. 4

    At the scheduled time, Azim Social publishes

    A background worker wakes up, initializes a Direct Post with TikTok's Content Posting API, uploads the video file, and hands off to TikTok. If your access token has expired, it is refreshed automatically first.

  5. 5

    TikTok confirms the result

    Azim Social polls TikTok for the publish status and also listens for TikTok's webhook notification. Whichever arrives first updates the queue — published, or failed with TikTok's own reason attached.

  6. 6

    Metrics come back

    Once a video is live, Azim Social reads its public counts through TikTok's Display API — views, likes, comments, shares — and shows them next to your other posts.

Disconnecting

You are never locked in. You can revoke Azim Social's access at any moment from within TikTok itself — Profile → Settings and privacy → Security and permissions → Manage third-party apps — or from the Azim Social console. Revoking invalidates the token immediately. To have the stored data erased as well, email us from Support and it is done within 7 days.

That's the whole flow

Connect an account and try it end to end.
