Step‑by‑step
1
Create a new task and pick an action
Open TikTask and tap Create. Choose the **Post Status/Story** action. Actions always come first in TikTask; once you pick Post Status, TikTask will show supported channels.

Select WhatsApp as the channel
From the channel picker, choose **WhatsApp** or **WhatsApp Business**. TikTask automatically checks the Status recipient so you don’t have to pick contacts.

Compose your status
Write a caption and add your media. WhatsApp supports text, photos and videos up to 90 seconds【781316356577532†screenshot】. TikTask will ignore unsupported attachments and only send media that Status allows.

Set the schedule
Choose a date and time for your Status to go live. You can also set recurring rules (daily, weekly or custom). TikTask’s System Monitor will remind you if any permission is missing so your post sends reliably.
