TikTok

Connecting TikTok lets Kinn track specific creators and videos, pulling in both how they're performing and what viewers are saying. It's built for a particular job: when you have creators promoting your product — say a roster of paid partners — and you want to measure their reach and read the response in one place, instead of opening dozens of profiles by hand.

What it pulls in​

For each profile or video you track, Kinn pulls both sides of the picture:

  • Performance metrics — views, likes, comments, shares, and other engagement signals
  • Comments — the comment threads on the tracked videos

You can track at two levels, and mix them freely:

  • Profiles — follow a creator's account and Kinn picks up their videos.
  • Video URLs — hand Kinn a list of specific video or Short URLs to track just those.
note

Kinn reads only public content here. There's no account to connect or authorize — you simply give Kinn the profiles or video links you want it to follow.

How to connect​

  1. From your dashboard, go to Sources → Add source → TikTok.
  2. Add what you want to track. You can combine both types:
    • Paste a creator's profile to follow their videos.
    • Paste a list of video / Short URLs to track just those.
  3. Wait for the initial sync to finish. Once it shows as synced, you can run your first query.
tip

For measuring a sponsorship campaign, tracking the specific URLs of the sponsored videos gives you the cleanest before-and-after comparison. Track a full profile when you want ongoing coverage of a creator instead.

What you can now ask and do​

Once TikTok is connected and synced, try:

  • How are the creators promoting us performing this month?
  • Which sponsored video got the most engagement?
  • Compare views and likes across our paid creators.
  • What are people saying in the comments on this creator's video?
  • Which posts are driving the most discussion?
