The integration of MaviBot with TikTok is a strategic tool for businesses aiming to automate communication and deeply engage with a dynamic, younger audience. This guide details its capabilities, practical applications, and key features.
Core Capabilities of the Integration
The integration automates interaction in two main areas of TikTok: private messages and public comments. Its primary functions are:
Direct Message Automation: The bot responds to user inquiries in TikTok Direct, acting as a 24/7 first line of communication.
Comment Management: It monitors and can automatically reply to comments under your videos, helping with community engagement and moderation.
Interactive Campaigns: Using buttons and structured messages, the bot can conduct polls, collect feedback, or guide users through a sequence.
Practical Business Applications
This functionality enables several key business use cases:
Automated Customer Support: Instantly answer frequent questions about products, orders, or services in Direct Messages, qualifying leads and resolving common issues.
Proactive Community Management: Transform comment sections under viral videos into engagement opportunities by thanking users, answering questions, or inviting them to a private chat for a special offer.
Guided Marketing Sequences: Use the initial user contact to start a personalized follow-up sequence, such as sending a catalog, discount code, or invitation to an event within the permitted messaging window.
Key Features and Platform Specifications
To use the integration effectively, it's important to understand its key features and the rules set by TikTok's platform:
User-Initiated Conversations: A chatbot can only message a user after that user has sent the first message in the chat.
Messaging Limits: In response to a user's message, you can send up to 10 messages within a 48-hour period. A new message from the user resets this limit.
Message Composition: A single message cannot contain both text and an image. Only one attachment is allowed per message.
Interactive Buttons:
A message can contain a maximum of 3 buttons.
All buttons in one message must be of the same type (only "callback" buttons or only "URL" buttons).
Buttons are only displayed in the TikTok mobile app and are not visible in the desktop version.
Currently, even URL buttons do not open a web page directly; when clicked, they send their label text as a message from the user to the chat.
How to Get Started
Connecting MaviBot to your TikTok account is a straightforward process:
Ensure your TikTok account is switched to a Business Account in the settings.
In the MaviBot dashboard, go to the "Messengers" section and click the TikTok button.
Log in to your TikTok account and grant the necessary permissions. For full bot functionality, it is crucial to allow access to messages, comments, profile information, and videos.
Once authorized, the integration will be confirmed, and you can begin building your automated conversation flows (chatbots) in MaviBot.
In summary, the MaviBot and TikTok integration moves brand communication from public broadcasting to private, automated, and personalized dialogue. It allows businesses to be present and responsive at the scale and speed that the TikTok audience expects.
