Actions available through the TikTok API

Inside the flow builder, in the Advanced Actions menu, the following API operations are available:

Category
Action
📹 Videos
Get video list / Get video info
💬 Comments
Reply to comment / Like / Unlike / Hide / Delete
🧠 Logic
Fetch video data to build contextual replies

These actions let you build complete automations — for example:

Note
“When someone comments on my video, the flow fetches the video content, generates a smart reply and answers the comment automatically.”

Available triggers

Go to:
Automation → Triggers → TikTok

You will find two types of triggers:

  • TikTok Comment Created
    Fires when someone comments on one of your videos.
    → Returns: video_id, comment_id, parent_comment_id, full comment content (JSON)
  • TikTok Ad Referral
    Fires when a user interacts with a TikTok ad connected to your business account.

These triggers let you start automated flows based on real interactions on your videos and ads.

How to use the comment data

When a comment comes in:

  • You can store the data in a custom JSON field
  • Extract the following fields:
    video_id, comment_id, parent_comment_id
  • Use this data to:
    fetch video information (e.g. caption, product mentioned); generate a context-aware AI reply; reply to the comment automatically.

Example flow:

texto
Gatilho: TikTok Comment Created
→ Buscar info do vídeo pelo ID
→ Enviar resposta com IA
→ Comentar automaticamente

Advanced Tip

You can build smart AI automations on TikTok:

  • Receive a comment on the video
  • Look up the video content (caption or product)
  • Generate a personalized reply with AI
  • Reply to the comment automatically

Example:

Note
“Someone asked for the price on a product video.
The flow fetches the video title (‘Nike Air Sneakers’), sends it to the AI model and automatically replies with the price and the link.”
