We're new, so we won't show you borrowed stats. These limits are written into the product, and you can watch each one work in the demo. Access ### Official TikTok Shop APIs only You connect through TikTok's own authorization page. We never ask for your Seller Center password or a login code, and nothing clicks through Seller Center for you. > Illustration: an agent in dry run, a go-live switch only an owner or admin can flip, and a stop button anyone can use. DM cap 5 DMs per creator per week from your shop, counted across every agent and sequence. Dry run 0 Messages an agent sends before an owner or admin switches it live. It logs what it would send. Go-live 2roles Only an owner or admin can make an agent live. Anyone on the team can stop one.

All-in-one creator workspace ## From first search to posted video, one workspace keeps the record. - [01Discover](#tour-discover) - [02Organize](#tour-organize) - [03Invite](#tour-invite) - [04Sample](#tour-sample) - [05Follow up](#tour-follow) 01 · Discover ### Describe the creator. Get filters you can edit. Type who you want in plain English, or start from a creator who already sells for you. Tidecollab writes marketplace filters you can see and change before anything runs. - Category, GMV range, average views, audience and content type - Similar creators to the ones you trust - Hide creators you've worked with or blocked [Creator discovery](https://tidecollab.com/product/discovery) > Illustration: a plain-English search becomes filter chips and three matching creators.

Segments that keep themselves current. Hand-pick creators into static lists, or save a filter as a dynamic segment so an agent always targets the right people. Notes and tags hold what TikTok doesn't know. - Static lists and dynamic segments - Tags, notes, custom fields and a block list - CSV in and out, whenever you want [Affiliate CRM](https://tidecollab.com/product/crm) > Illustration: a list and two segments with creator counts, and a note on a creator. Example data. 03 · Invite ### Agents that write every invite, then wait for a yes. An outreach agent sends target collaboration invites and DMs to a segment, inside your sending hours and TikTok's quota. In dry run it only logs what it would send. - Up to two follow-ups that stop when a creator replies - No creator gets more than 5 DMs a week from your shop - An owner or admin switches it live; anyone can stop it [Outreach agents](https://tidecollab.com/product/outreach) > Illustration: an outreach agent's dry-run log, two creators marked would send, one skipped and one held by the weekly DM cap, and a go-live switch for owners and admins. Example data. 04 · Sample ### See every sample decision before it's made. Auto Review checks waiting sample requests against rules you write on TikTok's numbers. Preview shows who would be approved, who is held by a limit and who just missed. - 30-day GMV, fulfillment rate, followers, average views - Caps per creator, product, day and week - Runs every 4 hours and when a sample status changes [Samples & Auto Review](https://tidecollab.com/product/samples) > Illustration: an Auto Review preview with counts for would approve, held by limits and near miss, and two approval rules. Example data. 05 · Follow up ### Every approved sample gets a follow-up plan. A sequence messages each creator at the stage their sample reaches in TikTok Shop, branches on what happens, and shares the same weekly DM cap. - Stages come from TikTok, not a spreadsheet - Yes/no branches, or up to four paths - A cancelled sample stops its sequence [Sequences](https://tidecollab.com/product/sequences) > Illustration: a sample moving through ready to ship, shipped, content pending and video posted, with a reminder queued at content pending. Example data. Draft first, send later ## Ask for the work. Review it before it's real. Every step that would write to TikTok lands in dry run with a reason attached. Pick a workflow to watch a request turn into work you can review. Example workflows Every write step lands in dry run first.

Today you run each of these steps from its own screen in Tidecollab: plain-English search, the agent builder, the Auto Review preview and the sequence editor. A chat Copilot that strings them together is on the [roadmap](https://tidecollab.com/roadmap) . How it asks before it acts ## What happens when the rules kick in The agent built 38 invites overnight. Not one left your shop until an admin read the log and switched it live. Example scenarioOutreach agent in dry run A creator was already in two campaigns. The weekly cap held the third DM, and the log says which agent was held and why. Example scenario5-DM weekly cap, shared by every agent Auto Review would have approved a sample. The preview showed it first, along with the product limit already used up this week. Example scenarioAuto Review preview A creator answered the first message. Every follow-up to her stopped the moment the reply came in. Example scenarioFollow-ups that stop on reply Who it's for ## Built for TikTok Shop brands and the agencies behind them.
