How to Link TikTok to Discord

Connecting your TikTok to Discord is a powerful move to funnel your fast-growing audience into a tight-knit community you truly own. This guide will walk you through exactly how to do it, covering the simple profile link that adds a button to your user card, as well as the more advanced method of automatically posting your new TikTok videos directly into a Discord channel for your members to see.

Why Bother Connecting TikTok to Discord? The Strategic Advantage for Creators and Brands

Bridging the gap between your TikTok and Discord might seem like a small technical step, but it’s a massive strategic advantage. TikTok is phenomenal for discovery - reaching new people who have never heard of you. Discord is where you turn those casual viewers into a loyal, engaged community. By linking them, you create a powerful flywheel for audience growth and retention.

• Build a Deeper Community: TikTok's comment section is fleeting and limited. Discord, on the other hand, is built for conversation. It offers dedicated channels for different topics, voice chat, and a more direct way to interact with your most dedicated fans. You can get real feedback, host Q&,As, and foster genuine connections that just aren’t possible in a 150-character comment.
• Funnel Followers into Fans: Every TikTok view is an opportunity, but it’s a passive one. By consistently directing viewers to your Discord, you’re giving them a clear call to action to become more invested in your brand. It’s the difference between someone liking one video and someone joining your digital fan club.
• Increase Authenticity and Access: Your Discord server can become the "behind-the-scenes" hub for your content. Share bloopers, ask for video ideas, or give your community a sneak peek at upcoming projects. This kind of exclusive access makes your followers feel valued and incentivizes others on TikTok to join so they don’t miss out.
• Keep Your Audience Engaged: The TikTok algorithm is unpredictable. Some videos will soar, others will flop. But your Discord community will be there regardless. By automatically sharing your new TikToks to your server, you can give your videos an initial burst of engagement from your most loyal supporters, signaling to the algorithm that your content is worth showing to a wider audience.

Method 1: Linking Your TikTok to Your Discord Profile (The Simple Way)

The most straightforward way to connect your accounts is by using Discord's built-in "Connections" feature. This will add a small, clickable TikTok button to your Discord profile, allowing other server members to visit your TikTok page with a single click. It's a simple, passive way to let people know you have a presence on the platform.

Step-by-Step Guide for the Discord Desktop App

Follow these steps to link your TikTok from your computer:

1. Open your Discord app and look for the User Settings cogwheel icon in the bottom-left corner, next to your username.
2. In the settings menu, navigate to the "Connections" tab on the left.
3. You'll see a grid of different platforms you can connect. Find the TikTok icon and click on it.
4. A new browser window will open, prompting you to log in to your TikTok account. Enter your credentials.
5. TikTok will ask you to authorize Discord to access some basic information from your profile. Click "Authorize" to proceed.
6. The window will close, and you'll be back in Discord. You should now see TikTok listed under your Connections. Make sure the toggle for "Display on profile" is turned on.

That's it! Now, when anyone clicks on your username in Discord, they’ll see a button that takes them directly to your TikTok profile.

Step-by-Step Guide for the Discord Mobile App (iOS &, Android)

The process is just as simple on your phone:

1. Open the Discord mobile app and tap on your profile picture in the bottom-right corner to open the User Settings menu.
2. Select the "Connections" option.
3. In the top-right corner, tap the "Add" button.
4. A list of connectable services will appear. Scroll down and select TikTok.
5. You'll be guided through the same web authentication process as on desktop. Log in to TikTok and authorize the connection.
6. Once authorized, you’ll be returned to the Discord app, where TikTok will now appear in your list of connections.

Method 2: Auto-Posting Your New TikToks to a Discord Channel (Advanced)

While linking your profile is great for passive discovery, the real power comes from proactively notifying your community when you post new content. This method uses a Discord Webhook and a free automation tool like IFTTT (If This Then That) to automatically post a link to your new TikTok videos in a specific channel. It turns your Discord into an instant notification squad for your content.

Part 1: Creating a Webhook in Your Discord Server

Think of a webhook as a special, private URL that allows external applications to send messages into one of your server's channels. It’s like a private mail drop for a specific bot.

Note: You must have "Manage Webhooks" permissions in the server to create one.

1. Navigate to the Discord server where you want your TikTok videos to be posted.
2. Click on the server's name in the top-left corner and select "Server Settings."
3. In the left-hand menu, click on "Integrations."
4. Select "Webhooks," and then click the green "New Webhook" button.
5. A new webhook will be created with a generic name like "Spidey Bot." Click on it to edit its details.
6. Change the Name: Give it a recognizable name like "TikTok Updates" or "New Video Bot." This will be the username that posts the message.
7. Choose the Channel: Use the dropdown menu to select the exact channel where you want your TikTok notifications to appear (e.g., `#new-videos` or `#tiktok-feed`).
8. Copy Webhook URL: Below the channel choice, you’ll see the "Webhook URL." Click the "Copy Webhook URL" button. Treat this URL like a password - anyone with it can post messages to your chosen channel.

Part 2: Setting Up the Automation with IFTTT

IFTTT is a service that connects different apps to create simple automations called "Applets." We will create an Applet that says: "If I post a new video on TikTok, then send a message to my Discord Webhook URL."

1. Go to ifttt.com and sign up for a free account if you don’t already have one.
2. Once logged in, click the big "Create" button in the top right.
3. Configure the "If This" (The Trigger):
   • Click the "Add" button next to "If This."
   • Search for "TikTok" and click on the service.
   • Choose the trigger labeled "New post by you."
   • You'll be prompted to connect your TikTok account to IFTTT. Follow the steps to authorize it.
4. Configure the "Then That" (The Action):
   • Now click the "Add" button next to "Then That."
   • Search for "Webhooks" and click on the service.
   • For the action, choose "Make a web request."
   • Now you'll configure the request details. This is the most important step:
     • URL: Paste the Discord Webhook URL you copied earlier.
     • Method: Select POST from the dropdown menu.
     • Content Type: Select application/json from the dropdown.
     • Body: This field formats the message Discord will receive. You can start simple. Erase everything in the box and paste this: {
"content": "Hey @everyone! I just uploaded a new TikTok, go check it out!\n{{LinkToVideo}}"
}
5. The {{LinkToVideo}} is an IFTTT "ingredient" - a placeholder that will automatically be replaced with the actual URL of your new TikTok.
6. Click "Create action" and then "Continue." Give your Applet a descriptive name if you like, and then click "Finish."

And you're done! Now, whenever you post a new video on TikTok, IFTTT will detect it (there might be a slight delay) and automatically send a neatly formatted notification right into your Discord channel, ready for your community to engage with.

Best Practices for a Thriving TikTok-Discord Community

Setting up the connection is just the start. To make this an effective engine for community growth, follow these simple strategies:

• Create a Dedicated Channel: Don't spam your general chat with video updates. Make a specific, read-only channel like #tiktok-announcements. This keeps things organized and makes your posts feel like official announcements.
• Promote Your Discord Everywhere: Your TikTok bio link should go directly to your Discord server invite. Mention your server verbally in your videos: "For more behind-the-scenes stuff, join my Discord! Link in bio." The easier you make it to join, the more people will.
• Make Discord the Place to Be: Offer exclusive value to your Discord members that they can't get on TikTok. This could include early video previews, follower-only Q&,As, members-only voice chats, or even polls to help decide future video topics. Give them a reason to not just join, but to stick around.
• Spark Conversations from Your Content: Don't just auto-post and walk away. After a notification about a new video goes live, jump into a relevant Discord channel and ask, "What did you all think of the new video? Any questions about how I made it?" This encourages engagement and reinforces the value of being in the community.

Final Thoughts

By connecting your TikTok profile, you make it easy for new community members to find your main content hub. By setting up an automated posting system, you ensure your most dedicated fans never miss an update, creating an instant feedback loop that boosts your content's initial performance. This two-part strategy transforms two separate platforms into one cohesive system for building and engaging your audience.
