Response to TikTok Shop API Messaging Inquiry Hello,

As of my last update, the TikTok Shop API does provide some capabilities for messaging, particularly through webhooks that allow sellers to receive and send messages from buyers. However, the explicit support for messaging between sellers and creators is not clearly defined in the API documentation.

Here are some key points to consider:

Buyer to Seller Messaging:

The API supports webhook notifications for new messages from buyers. This allows sellers to automate responses and manage inquiries effectively. Seller to Creator Messaging:

While there is functionality for targeting collaborations and reaching out to creators, direct messaging capabilities specifically for seller-creator interactions may not be explicitly supported. It is advisable to check the latest version of the TikTok Shop API documentation, as features can evolve. Webhooks:

You mentioned webhook support, which is a good start for automating buyer interactions. If there are updates or changes regarding creator messaging, they may be announced through the API changelogs or updates. Recommendations:

I recommend reaching out to TikTok's developer support or checking their community forums for the most current information regarding messaging capabilities. Engaging with other developers who have experience with the TikTok Shop API may also provide insights into any undocumented features. If you have further questions or need assistance with specific API calls, feel free to ask!

Best regards.
