TikTok scheduling glossary: 18 terms explained

By ClipHabitVerified October 4, 2026

Direct Post publishes through an outside app; inbox upload sends content to TikTok for you to finish there. These are different from drafts saved in the TikTok app. This glossary explains 18 terms, including separate definitions for inbox uploads and drafts saved in the TikTok app. Definitions and sources were verified October 4, 2026. 1 2 3

Recurring slot and Remix are ClipHabit terms. MCP is an open protocol, not a TikTok feature. ClipHabit is invite-only. 15 16 17 18

Find a term

Direct Post

Direct Post lets an outside app publish to your TikTok profile with the caption, privacy, and interaction settings you choose in that app. Direct posting does not necessarily mean public posting. 1 7

Drafts: inbox uploads and app drafts

Inbox upload (Send to TikTok drafts)

An inbox upload sends video or photos to TikTok without publishing them. You receive a TikTok inbox notification and finish the post in the TikTok app. 1 2

Drafts in the TikTok app

Drafts saved in the TikTok app are visible only to you on your profile. They are different from inbox uploads sent by outside apps. 3

TikTok Studio

TikTok Studio is TikTok's app and web area for creating, managing, and analyzing posts. TikTok lists uploading, scheduling, and editing among its creator tools for Personal and Business accounts, though scheduling eligibility can vary. 4 5

TikTok's creator-tools help lists scheduling for Personal and Business accounts, but its scheduling article describes narrower eligibility. See the native scheduling guide for the documented differences.

creator_info

creator_info is the TikTok API call an app must make before displaying its posting screen. It returns your nickname, available privacy and interaction options, and maximum video duration. 6

Privacy levels

TikTok's API has four privacy values: everyone, friends (mutual followers), followers, and only me. The available options depend on your account, and apps must let you choose without a preselected value. 6 7

Duet

A Duet places your video side by side with another creator's video, playing at the same time. Only public accounts can let others Duet their videos. 8

Duet and Stitch do not apply to photo posts. 7

Stitch

A Stitch lets you use part of another creator's video in your own video. Only public accounts can let others Stitch their videos. 9

Commercial content disclosure

TikTok requires commercial content disclosure when a post promotes a brand, product, or service. Choose Your brand for your own business or Branded content when another brand pays or rewards you. 10 7

AI-generated label

The AI-generated label tells viewers that content was fully generated or significantly edited with AI. TikTok requires labeling for realistic AI-generated images, audio, and video, and may also apply labels automatically. 11

Content Posting API

The Content Posting API is TikTok's official API for outside apps that post for creators. It supports Direct Post and inbox uploads for videos and photos. 1 14

Login Kit

Login Kit is TikTok's sign-in system based on OAuth 2.0. TikTok asks you to log in and approve the permissions an app requests. 12

Unaudited client

An unaudited client is an app that has not passed TikTok's audit. Its Direct Post content is restricted to private viewing, with up to five posting users in a 24-hour window whose accounts must be private. 7

Commercial Music Library (CML)

The Commercial Music Library is TikTok's collection of songs cleared for commercial use. Business accounts see only these sounds when they add music. 13

A photo carousel is a TikTok post made of several photos people swipe through. TikTok calls it a photo post and allows up to 35 photos. 3 14

ClipHabit allows 10 photos on Starter and 35 on Pro and Agency. 18

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

MCP is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. ClipHabit's MCP lets an assistant prepare posts, with composer approval required before scheduling. 15 18

ClipHabit MCP is on all plans. Its tools never publish or schedule directly; production client verification remains pending. 18

Recurring slot (ClipHabit term)

A recurring slot is a weekly posting time for a TikTok account in ClipHabit, such as Mondays at 6 p.m. in that account's time zone. New uploads take the next open slot. 16

Remix (ClipHabit term)

Remix is a ClipHabit feature on Pro and Agency that starts from a published idea and caption but requires a newly edited file. It rejects the original file and identical copies, then requires approval. 17 18

The identical-file check compares file hashes; it does not recognize every visually similar video. 17
