TikTok is available as a connected platform in the Social Planner. Once connected, you can schedule video posts, manage comments, and track performance — all without leaving the HoopAI platform.

TikTok DMs

TikTok Direct Messages from contacts can be viewed and responded to in the Conversations inbox when the TikTok integration is connected for messaging. This allows you to manage TikTok conversations alongside SMS, email, and other channels.

Comment automation

Set up automated responses to TikTok comments using workflows:
  1. Create a workflow with a TikTok Comment trigger
  2. Define conditions (e.g., comment contains specific keywords)
  3. Add actions: auto-reply to the comment, send a DM, or create a contact in the CRM
This is useful for responding to common questions, capturing leads from comment inquiries, and maintaining engagement.

TikTok analytics

View TikTok performance data in Marketing > Social Planner > Analytics:
  • Video views and impressions
