Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My TikTok account can publish videos normally. Why can't I use Business Messaging?
A: Different TikTok API features have different eligibility requirements. Being able to publish videos does not necessarily mean that Business Messaging is available for your account. Please check your account region and account type first.
Q: My account is already a Business Account, but Business Messaging is still unavailable. What should I do?
A: First, check whether your account region is the United States, European Economic Area, Switzerland, or United Kingdom. If your account region is supported, check your TikTok authorization status and make sure that you have completed all authorization steps required by TikTok.
Q: Can I use OneSight's TikTok Business Messaging features with a Personal Account?
A: No. TikTok Business Messaging currently supports Business Accounts only. You need to switch your Personal Account to a Business Account before using the feature.
Q: If I switch my Personal Account to a Business Account, will Business Messaging become available automatically?
A: Not necessarily. In addition to the account type requirement, your account must meet TikTok's other eligibility requirements, including the account region requirements. Please make sure that your account region is supported.
