How this automation works

This Applet runs whenever you take a new photo using the Camera widget and uploads it as a video draft in your TikTok account. Perfect for quickly capturing and preparing creative content for editing and sharing later on TikTok. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the Camera widget to your home screen.
