Managed Social Distribution

Managed Social Distribution is a separate layer template from Social Distribution. It routes generated content to a managed TikTok account operated by a fulfilment provider — today ds (Double Speed) is the shipped provider; ssh (Social Scale Hub) is reserved for the future.

Billing

Managed Social Distribution is prepaid at $150 per managed account per month (managed-dist-account-fee), on top of any other layer spend.

How it differs

• No OAuth — you don't connect your own TikTok. The provider runs the handle on your behalf.
• distributionMode is automatic only — the provider decides posting time. Layers submits posts once per day at config.schedulingTimeUtc (default 00:00 UTC).
• Only generationMode: "automatic" makes sense here, since you rely on the provider to post whatever Layers sends them.
• provider and providerConfig fields are operator-configured via ladmin; there's no self-serve setup path.

Setup

Provisioned by Layers ops / Customer Success. Not self-serve.

Reporting

Managed-account posts show up in the same analytics tables as OAuth accounts. Filter by layer in the UI to isolate managed activity.
