Running TikTok Shop invites and samples through Storika's MCP connector lets an assistant send a Target Collaboration invite to named creators, or set up an Open Collaboration any creator can join, and work through the creator sample requests on the campaign brand's TikTok Shop. ## What can a marketer ask to invite creators and handle sample requests? A marketer can write: "Invite these creators to our sunscreen on TikTok Shop for my spring launch campaign, and show me the proposal before you send it." Later the marketer can write: "Show me the open creator sample requests, and approve the ones I pick." ## Which Storika connector tools run TikTok Shop invites and samples, and in what order? Storika's send\_tiktok\_shop\_invite runs first, in two calls: a proposal, then the send after the marketer's yes. handle\_sample\_requests runs next with action list to show the creator sample requests, and then with action approve or reject, also in two calls. ## What comes back from TikTok Shop invites and sample requests through Storika? Storika's send\_tiktok\_shop\_invite returns a proposal and a confirmation\_ref. handle\_sample\_requests with action list shows each open creator request with its request\_id, creator, product, approve-by day and sample rule, and the approved samples with their shipping stage, tracking number and ship-by day. Delivered comes only from the carrier's tracking. ## Which TikTok Shop invite and sample step waits for the marketer's yes? Sending a creator invite and approving or rejecting a sample request each wait for the marketer's yes in Storika. The first call changes nothing and returns a confirmation\_ref, and the assistant calls again with the same arguments and the ref only after the yes. Approving commits the shop to ship a sample. Action list changes nothing. ## Tools in the order they run 1. send\_tiktok\_shop\_invite, first call: takes campaign\_id, product\_id and type: target with creator\_handles for named creators, or open for any creator. Nothing is sent. It returns a proposal and a confirmation\_ref. Keep the handles times the products at 25 or fewer in one call. 2. send\_tiktok\_shop\_invite, second call: after the marketer's yes, the same arguments and the confirmation\_ref send the invite once. 3. handle\_sample\_requests with action list: takes campaign\_id and shows the open requests and the approved samples. It changes nothing. 4. handle\_sample\_requests with action approve or reject, first call: takes request\_ids copied from the list, at most 25, and a reject\_reason for a reject. It changes nothing. It returns the requests it will act on, names every id it will not act on, and returns a confirmation\_ref. 5. handle\_sample\_requests with action approve or reject, second call: after the marketer's immediate yes, the same arguments and the confirmation\_ref change the shop. Approve and reject are for a Brand Manager. The product\_id comes from fetch with the target products:, which lists the active products of the brand's connected TikTok Shop. whoami says whether TikTok Shop is connected for each brand. Action cancel withdraws a sent target invite and action edit changes it, both with collaboration\_id and the same two calls. Sample rules are edited in the Storika web app, not through the connector. The assistant fetches tools/list at each new session and follows the live schemas. ## Related - [Reach creators and follow their replies](https://www.storika.ai/use-cases/reach-creators-and-follow-their-replies) - [Connect your assistant](https://www.storika.ai/connect) - [Storika pricing](https://www.storika.ai/pricing) [← Back to Storika](https://www.storika.ai/)
