Automate TikTok with Hermes

Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting TikTok videos, scheduling them at the right times and reporting back when the queue is full.

Quick start

Install the CLI where Hermes executes commands, then hand over the TikTok plan in plain language.

Terminal
npm install -g postqueen
export POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key
 
# A task for Hermes:
# "Plan next week on TikTok: draft five
# videos, schedule them and list
# what you queued"

What Hermes can run on TikTok

One brief, a full TikTok plan

Hermes breaks a goal into steps on its own: draft the videos, upload media, schedule each one and report back with what it queued for TikTok.

Windows that fit TikTok

Tell Hermes when your followers are most active and it schedules videos into that window on TikTok, day after day, without reminders.

Native video, native timing

Video uploads travel through the same postqueen call, so Hermes ships TikTok videos with real media attached and the publish time already set.

Drafts until you are ready

Ask Hermes for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your followers on TikTok until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover TikTok

Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected accounts and sees what TikTok supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.

Step 2

Draft with Hermes

Give it the brief. The agent writes TikTok-shaped videos and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.

Step 3

Check and publish

Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Hermes can pull the results after.

What TikTok allows

Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

Caption length
Up to 2,200 characters per video caption when publishing through the API
Video length
Up to 10 minutes for most accounts
Aspect ratio
Vertical 9:16, with 1080 x 1920 the recommended upload size
Photo posts
Up to 35 images in one photo post
Post settings
Every API upload sets a privacy level plus comment, duet and stitch permissions
App review
TikTok only allows public direct posting from audited apps, so a self-hosted app posts privately until it is approved

Frequently asked questions

How does Hermes connect TikTok to postqueen?

Install the postqueen CLI where Hermes runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list TikTok videos reliably.

Can Hermes schedule TikTok videos at exact times?

Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the videos it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.

Will Hermes publish to TikTok on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the videos wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.

Can one brief cover TikTok and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into TikTok videos plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.

Does Hermes access cost extra on postqueen?

No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.

Does postqueen upload to TikTok automatically or just send a reminder?

It uploads. postqueen publishes through TikTok's official content posting API, so the video goes live on its own. There is no phone notification telling you to open the app and finish the job by hand.

What do I need to connect a TikTok account?

You log in through TikTok's official connect flow and grant permission to publish videos on your behalf. TikTok's API also reports which privacy and interaction options your account allows, so the choices you see in the composer match your real account settings rather than failing at publish time.
