How to Schedule Content with Trending TikTok Songs
Efficiency is the priority for any social media strategy, and the recent TikTok API update makes it easier than ever to manage your production workflow.

Now, you can browse and add trending TikTok songs directly within the Metricool planner. This integration lets you select from the top 100 trending tracks, filtered by genre and region, ensuring your content is fully optimized before it goes live. By removing the need for last-minute edits in the TikTok app, you can maintain a consistent posting schedule while staying relevant with the latest sounds that your audience is already enjoying.
