## Connect Accounts

### Supported Tiktok Account Types

Here are the Tiktok account types supported by Contouron:

| Supported Account Types  |
| ------------------------ |
| Tiktok personal accounts |
| Tiktok business accounts |

### How to Connect Your Tiktok Accounts

1. Go to Settings
2. Make sure you're logged into the Tiktok account you want to connect
3. Click "Login with Tiktok"
4. Grant Contouron permission to post on your Tiktok account

### How to Refresh Tiktok Connection

Social platforms periodically require you to refresh connections to 3rd party tools, like Contouron.

This is normal and helps keep your account secure.

To refresh your Tiktok connection in Contouron:

* go to Settings
* **r**econnect by clicking "Login with Tiktok"
* **c**onnect the same account

:octagonal\_sign: **IMPORTANT** :octagonal\_sign:

Don't DISCONNECT your account, otherwise all posts SCHEDULED in that account will fail.

### What If I Have Multiple Tiktok Accounts?

When you post through Contouron, the actual posts go out from Contouron’s servers under the same “via Contouron” app ID. Platforms don’t auto-link Tiktok accounts together just because of the same tool; however, your Tiktok accounts will be linked by device ID (e.g. when you created the accounts). Buffer, Hootsuite, etc. all work this way. In short, using 1 Contouron account for all your Tiktok accounts won’t trigger bans by itself.

Things that do trigger shadowbans:

* Near-duplicate content in a short window, so you'll obviously want to vary captions, thumbnails, hashtags, and stagger posting times.
* Per-app rate limits - eventually I'll introduce a reasonable daily posting limit that aligns with each platform's limit (e.g. obviously don't post 100 tiktoks per day on 1 account)
* each account’s own policy compliance - copyright strikes, spam reports, or prohibited niches can still ruin any individual Tiktok.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.contouron.com/platforms/tiktok/connect-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
