Key takeaways
- Check the post’s status on the Calendar first: it may still be scheduled or processing.
- A TikTok posted to Only me, friends or followers will not show to everyone; check the privacy chosen for that post.
- TikTok caps how many posts one account can publish through its API each day and returns an error when the cap is reached.
- The Failed list shows TikTok’s own error message for any post that did not publish.
Why is my scheduled TikTok not showing?
Check them in that order. Most are visible in SkedCast without opening TikTok: the Calendar shows each post’s status, and the Failed list shows the exact error TikTok returned.
How do you check a TikTok’s privacy setting?
TikTok requires every post sent through its API to carry an audience chosen from the account’s own options: everyone, mutual friends, followers or only the creator. A video posted to Only me is live but visible only to you, which looks like a missing post. Open the video on TikTok while signed in as that account to see its audience, and change it there if needed.
Is there a limit on how many TikToks you can post a day?
Yes. TikTok caps how many posts one account can publish through its API each day and does not publish the number; when the cap is reached it returns “The daily post cap from the API is reached for the current user”. SkedCast shows that message on the post, so retry it the next day. See how to schedule TikTok posts for planning a week ahead.
How do you fix a scheduled TikTok that did not post?
A connection that expired needs the account reconnected, not just the post retried; see connect TikTok to SkedCast. The TikTok scheduler page covers every setting.
Where to actually look
Every scheduled post lives on the Calendar (/calendar in the console) — a month/week grid you can filter by client, platform and status. Click a scheduled post there to open its detail sheet and see its exact status, target account and any error.
A post that failed validation before it was even queued shows up under Drafts (/posts/drafts) instead of the calendar, and a post that failed to publish after being queued shows up under Failed (/posts/failed) with the reason.
FAQ
- Why does my scheduled TikTok look like it never posted?
- It may still be processing, it may have been posted to a private audience such as Only me, the connection may need a reconnect, or TikTok’s daily post cap may have been reached. Check the Calendar, then the video on TikTok as that account.
- How many TikToks can I post a day through a scheduler?
- TikTok caps posts per account per day through its API but does not publish the number; when it is reached, TikTok returns an error and the post can be retried the next day.
- Does TikTok have a native "schedule for later" API?
- No. TikTok’s Content Posting API has no scheduled-time field, so SkedCast holds the video and publishes it at the time you set.
- Where do I see the real error for a failed TikTok post?
- The Failed list (/posts/failed) shows TikTok’s own error for that post.
- TikTok schedule post not working — what's wrong?
- Check the Calendar for the post’s status, reconnect the account if the connection expired, and open the Failed list for any error TikTok returned.
