What TikTok message types appear in Sprout and what actions can I take?
The following TikTok message types appear in the Smart Inbox. For these message types, you can respond and take additional actions.
Note: Only organic messages will appear in the Smart Inbox.
- Network: The social media network
- Message Type: The type of message listed
- Available in Inbox: The message type that appears in the Smart Inbox. If this is checked, Sprout expects to receive that message type. If this is marked with the
symbol, Sprout doesn’t expect to receive the message type.
- Update Schedule: How often Sprout updates data and the kind of data updated.
- Backfill: How far back Sprout can provide data upon profile connection.
- Top-level comment: The "first-level" of comments under a post (i.e. a comment that is responding to the post, not another comment).
For information about message types on other social networks:

What other actions can I take on TikTok comments?
You can also:
