HOW TO SET UP TIKTOK AUTOMATION WITHOUT THIRD PARTY APP

Introduction

In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple steps to set up automation for your TikTok account. This feature allows you to send automated messages to anyone who reaches out in your DMs, making it easy to manage responses and engage with your audience.

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Switch to a Business Account
   First, open your TikTok app and navigate to your profile. Click on the three dots in the top right corner to access the settings menu. Then, select "Settings and privacy" and go to "Account." Here, you will find the option to switch to a business account.

2. Select Your Category
   After clicking "Switch to business account," you will be prompted to choose a category for your account. For example, if you’re in the education field, you can select "Education and Training." Once that’s done, continue by clicking "Next."

3. Add Your Email
   You will also need to add an email address associated with your business account. Complete this step and you have officially switched to a business account.

4. Access the Business Suite
   Return to your profile and click on the three dots in the top right corner again. This time, you will see a new option called "Business Suite." Click on it.

5. Navigate to Message Center
   Within the Business Suite, find and click on "Message Center." Here, you'll see several options: Welcome message, Keyword reply, and Suggested questions. We will focus on setting the welcome message.

6. Set Up the Welcome Message
   Enable the welcome message feature and customize the greeting you'd like people to receive when they message you. For example, you might say, "Hi there, my DM is open! Kindly click the link in my bio to chat me up on WhatsApp." You can also include your WhatsApp number, for instance, "Use this number: 091 1 2 3 4 5 6 7." Once you've drafted your message, click "Submit."

7. Set Up Keyword Replies
   Next, configure the keyword replies. This feature allows you to send automatic responses based on specific keywords that users might send you, such as "interested" or "join." Assign the same message you set for your welcome message as the response for relevant keywords, and then click "Submit."

8. Check Approval Status
   Lastly, navigate to your inbox to check the approval status of your automation messages. You should see a notification confirming that both your welcome message and keyword replies have been approved.

Congratulations! You've successfully set up automation to enhance your TikTok engagement without needing third-party applications.
