How to connect TikTok to Rollout
Simple steps to authorize TikTok so Rollout can post your cover art and caption. Written for non-technical creators.
Rollout can post a photo post of your release cover with your announcement text to TikTok. This is not a full music video editor — it shares your artwork and copy so fans see the release.
What you need
- Your normal TikTok account (the one fans follow).
- A track in Rollout with cover art.
- About 5 minutes for the “allow Rollout” screens on TikTok.
Connect in Rollout
- Open Social → ⚙ Connections.
- Under Choose your networks, tap TikTok.
- Click Connect with TikTok (when enabled on the server).
- TikTok opens — log in if asked.
- Read the permissions and allow Rollout to post content you approve through the app.
- When you return to Rollout, you should see your TikTok name or handle as connected.
- Choose a track that has cover art → click Send test post.
- Open TikTok and check for the post (see note below if it looks private).
What the post looks like
- Your cover image plus the text you wrote (or AI drafted).
- Your SoundCloud link is included in the text when the track has one.
Important: private vs public
While TikTok is still reviewing Rollout’s app, posts may only appear as private / only you can see. That is a TikTok rule for new apps, not a mistake in your settings. After review is complete, public posts can work with normal privacy choices.
If something goes wrong
- No “Connect with TikTok” button — message Support; our TikTok connection may still be turning on.
- Test fails saying cover or image URL is needed — add cover art to the track and try again. Public image hosting must also be enabled on Rollout’s side for Instagram/TikTok-style pulls.
- Worked before, fails now — Disconnect TikTok and connect again.
