Circuit Draft
How it works
Circuit Draft is a SaaS-style, draft-only tool for independent TikTok creators who voluntarily join the Circuit Studios creator network. Each creator connects with Login Kit using only their own personal creator TikTok account, prepares Shop videos promoting Circuit Home / Circuit Style catalogs, and uploads inbox drafts only to that same account via TikTok’s Content Posting API. The creator always publishes in TikTok.
Process
Four steps to an inbox draft
-
Connect an account
A creator signs in with TikTok Login Kit using only their own personal creator TikTok account (the account they own and control) and grants
user.info.basicandvideo.upload. Circuit Draft does not requestvideo.publish. -
Prepare the video
Creator videos are organized by brand catalog, creator, and product. CapCut end cards are trimmed before upload so the draft that lands in the creator’s own TikTok inbox is ready for the creator to review.
-
Upload a draft
Circuit Draft calls TikTok’s Content Posting API inbox endpoint and uploads only to the same creator’s personal account. TikTok notifies that creator that a draft is ready. The creator opens it in TikTok, adds a caption and product tag, then publishes — or discards — only if they choose to.
-
Log and review
Each upload is logged with video name, brand catalog, product, status, and TikTok publish_id so creators can track drafts they sent to their own account. Circuit Draft does not upload to brand accounts Circuit Studios manages, and does not display or monitor live posts from team-managed accounts.
Guardrails
What we never do
Circuit Draft stops at the draft on the creator’s own account. If it is not ready, the creator can discard it in TikTok without it ever going live.
Hard stops
- Never Direct Post or auto-publish — publishing stays in the TikTok app
- Never spend — no ads, no paid boost, no billing actions
- Never change privacy, password, or Shop settings
- Never request the
