- Use OpenClaw's browser control to publish images or videos to Douyin (抖音) creator platform. Uploads a local image/video file to Douyin creator center via the web UI. Prerequisites: (1) Chrome must be running with remote debugging enabled (--remote-debugging-port=9222), (2) user must be logged into Douyin creator platform (creator.douyin.com). Activates when user asks to post something to Douyin, publish to Douyin, or upload to Douyin.
Browser Douyin Post
Publish images or videos to Douyin (抖音) creator platform via browser automation.
Workflow
Step 1: Connect to Chrome
browser(action="start", profile="user", target="host")If failed with "attachOnly" error: Chrome is not running with debugging port. → Ask user to run: & "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222
Step 2: Navigate to Douyin Creator Platform
Use a free tab (e.g., Tab 2) and navigate via JavaScript evaluation since navigate requires openclaw profile:
// First check tabs
browser(action="tabs", profile="user", target="host")
// Focus a free tab
browser(action="focus", targetId="<free_tab_id>", profile="user", target="host")
// Then use JS to navigate (avoids SSRF blocks on navigate action)
browser(action="act", kind="evaluate", target="host", profile="user", fn="window.location.href = 'https://creator.douyin.com'")Or if Douyin tab already exists, just focus it.
Step 3: Go to Image Upload Page
Once on creator.douyin.com:
- Click the "高清发布" / "发布图文" menu button (ref
1_2) - Click "发布图文" menuitem
Step 4: Upload Image
The upload input (ref 3_10) only accepts files from C:\Users\wenxi\AppData\Local\Temp\openclaw\uploads\.
First copy the image to the uploads directory:
Copy-Item "<image_path>" "C:\Users\wenxi\AppData\Local\Temp\openclaw\uploads\douyin-post.png" -ForceThen upload:
browser(action="upload", target="host", profile="user", inputRef="3_10", paths=["C:\\Users\\wenxi\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\openclaw\\uploads\\douyin-post.png"])Step 5: Fill in Title
Find the title textbox (ref 4_2) and type the title. Note: Title has 20-character limit.
browser(action="act", kind="click", ref="4_2", profile="user", target="host")
browser(action="act", kind="press", ref="4_2", profile="user", target="host", key="Control+a")
browser(action="act", kind="type", ref="4_2", text="<title>", profile="user", target="host")Step 6: Add Description (Optional)
The description textbox (statictext "添加作品描述...") may not have a clickable ref. If available, click it and type description. If not, skip — the title alone is enough.
Step 7: Click Publish
Click the "发布" button (ref 4_65):
browser(action="act", kind="click", ref="4_65", profile="user", target="host")Step 8: Verify
After clicking publish, wait 5 seconds and take a snapshot to confirm the post appears in "作品管理" list.
