The setup walkthrough
The Get started setup every new workspace sees first, what each step covers, and how to run the in-app walkthrough again.
Every workspace that has not finished setup opens on the Get started setup first, on a computer or in the phone app, however you signed in. It is one page: you say how you will use EverySqueeze, connect your TikTok, pick one of your videos, check the product we matched to it, choose where it goes and when, then save your settings. In the link options, "Add my Amazon link in the first comment" starts on; an older Facebook connection is asked to reconnect first. Just before you save, a short "What to expect" card lists what EverySqueeze will do for you (cross-post your TikToks on your schedule to the platforms where automatic posting is on, say which connected platforms you post to yourself from the Composer, add your Amazon link only where it will really be added once the product is confirmed, and Pip for help, feedback and bug reports) and what it can't do: Instagram caption links aren't clickable (use Add products on Instagram). Nothing gets posted during setup; from then on, new TikToks follow the settings you saved. Beta members who are not in our beta Discord yet then see one more screen that offers it under "You're set up"; Continue goes on, and Home keeps the offer until you join. If you started from the phone app, you land back in the app when you are done; otherwise you land on your dashboard.
On a phone the same page fits the screen and scrolls; the main button stays at the bottom. On the Connect TikTok step a phone also offers "Email me a link to finish on my computer" (a one-time sign-in link to your own email that opens this same step), and in the iPhone app an ordinary TikTok sign-in can't send you back to the app: where the in-app connect is on for your account, "Connect TikTok Shop" opens TikTok in a secure window inside the app and setup carries on when it closes; otherwise the app offers only that link. The Chrome extension, which can accept Creator Connections campaigns, runs on a computer: nothing in setup needs it, and on a phone setup says so.
Optional extras, and help along the way
Two things are offered and never required. On the step where you choose where your videos go, under the connections, Back up your TikTok videos to your Google Drive? has Connect and Not now (only where Drive backup is on for your account). On the last screen, on a computer, Optional: add the Chrome extension has Add to Chrome and turns to Installed on its own once you open the extension; on a phone it says to do this later on your computer. Where the Amazon link is set up, setup also says what happens when we're not sure which product is in a video: on a new account it posts without a link so you can add the right one later (see Confirm a product to get your Amazon link).
Stuck? Need a hand? Message us is on the first question, the Connect TikTok step, Found your videos and the settings step: write a line, press Send message, and we reply by email. If finding your videos takes more than a few seconds, that screen says so and offers Continue without a video.
If setup can't load (a passing network or server hiccup), it says We couldn’t load your setup, tries again by itself, and has a Try again button; nothing on that screen skips a step.
Once you have saved your settings (or pressed "Finish later"), EverySqueeze never sends you through setup again. Accounts that were already set up before this setup existed keep their dashboard as it is.
Other tools, and whether anything posts on its own
Right after you connect TikTok, Pip asks you to turn off the auto-posting of any other repurposing tool you don't want duplicated, with an Okay, I understand checkbox shown only once; see Using another repurposing tool too.
The "What to expect" card starts with one line that says whether anything will post on its own: for example, that starting with your next TikTok new videos post automatically to Facebook and Instagram within your hours and daily limit, and that older videos don't post unless you turn on Older videos in Settings; or, if you chose to approve each post, that nothing posts automatically. The same line is on the card your dashboard opens with.
The in-app walkthrough
The older full-screen walkthrough is still in the app. "Connect your TikTok" comes first, then Facebook & Instagram, YouTube, and (if you connected Pinterest) setting up your boards. A short run of posting choices follows: what happens automatically, which platforms receive your videos, where your Amazon link goes on Facebook, your daily limits, and your posting hours. Near the end is "Confirm your sign-in email", and last, optional, is your Amazon tracking ID. On the TikTok step, if the import finishes but TikTok didn't give EverySqueeze permission to read your orders, the card says Videos imported and that your sales couldn't be read, with how to reconnect TikTok Shop, instead of "Import complete" and a count of 0 orders.
Skipping the in-app walkthrough
Every step is skippable. "Skip for now" just brings the wizard back next time you load the app; it does not lose anything you already entered, and it does not block you from using the app in the meantime.
Running it again
From Help, "Run the walkthrough again" reopens it. Because it is resumable, it reopens on whichever step is not done yet — if you're already fully set up, it may land on the last step, your Amazon tracking ID. If it does not reopen at all, the same settings live in Settings.
