To start collecting social registrations with TikTok, you need to get your TikTok app up and running. Watch the video or read our step-by-step instructions to find out how.
Create Your App on Reddit
1. Head over to the TikTok developer site and log in or create an account.
If you haven't been to the developer site before, you'll have to go through and accept some terms of use before you can move on to the next step.
2. Click on My apps, found in the top right. Then click "Connect a new app".
3. Add your app name and an icon in the popup that follows.
4. Fill out the basic info form that follows then continue to platform info.
Platform should be set to "Web"
In the Platform Info section set your callback url as https://theappreciationengine.com/TikTokAuthenticator_Controller and the redirect domain to "theappreciationengine.com" (make sure to leave the "https://" off this one).
Important
If you're on a custom AE Enterprise plan you'll have a custom domain. Make sure to add it in front. E.g.https://sony.theappreciationengine.com/TikTokAuthenticator_Controller
Important
Make sure you have "theappreciationengine.com" (or your custom AE domain as above) as one of the Redirect Domains to avoid redirection issues.
5. For permissions you'll need user.info.basic and video.list.
You'll need both the user.info.basic permission and the video.list scope. By default AE includes both of these scopes in its login requests and if one is missing in your app TikTok will throw an error. You can override these defaults in your AE Connect dashboard, however we don't recommend it as user.info.basic is used to gather member info (eg. name, user id for activity tracking) and video.list is required to view the members videos for activity tracking.
6. Upon clicking "Submit" your app will be submitted for review.
The review process can take a few days.
7. Once approved you'll be presented with a Client Key and a Client Secret.
Setup Your TikTok App on AE
1. Now, go back to your AE dashboard tab.
If you don't already have AE open, go to another tab and log into your AE dashboard account. Click on AE Connect from the AE header.
2. In the Connect Your Social Apps section, select the TikTok icon
10. Paste your Client ID and Client Secret into the AE window and press Activate App.
11. You can now see that your TikTok app is live with AE.
