fixes: #11834 This pull request introduces TikTok channel integration, enabling users to connect and manage TikTok business accounts similarly to other supported social channels. The changes span backend API endpoints, authentication helpers, webhook handling, configuration, and frontend components to support TikTok as a first-class channel. **Key Notes** * This integration is only compatible with TikTok Business Accounts * Special permissions are required to access the TikTok [Business Messaging API](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832183871604753). * The Business Messaging API is region-restricted and is currently unavailable to users in the EU. * Only TEXT, IMAGE, and POST_SHARE messages are currently supported due to limitations in the TikTok Business Messaging API * A message will be successfully sent only if it contains text alone or one image attachment. Messages with multiple attachments or those combining text and attachments will fail and receive a descriptive error status. * Messages sent directly from the TikTok App will be synced into the system * Initiating a new conversation from the system is not permitted due to limitations from the TikTok Business Messaging API. **Backend: TikTok Channel Integration** * Added `Api::V1::Accounts::Tiktok::AuthorizationsController` to handle TikTok OAuth authorization initiation, returning the TikTok authorization URL. * Implemented `Tiktok::CallbacksController` to handle TikTok OAuth callback, process authorization results, create or update channel/inbox, and handle errors or denied scopes. * Added `Webhooks::TiktokController` to receive and verify TikTok webhook events, including signature verification and event dispatching. * Created `Tiktok::IntegrationHelper` module for JWT-based token generation and verification for secure TikTok OAuth state management. **Configuration and Feature Flags** * Added TikTok app credentials (`TIKTOK_APP_ID`, `TIKTOK_APP_SECRET`) to allowed configs and app config, and registered TikTok as a feature in the super admin features YAML.

Grant access to the Business Messaging API ([Documentation](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832184145137922)) 2. Set the app authorization redirect URL to `https://FRONTEND_URL/tiktok/callback` 3. Update the installation config with TikTok App ID and Secret 4. Create a Business Messaging Webhook configuration and set the callback url to `https://FRONTEND_URL/webhooks/tiktok` ([Documentation](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832190670631937)) . You can do this by calling `Tiktok::AuthClient.update_webhook_callback` from rails console once you finish Tiktok channel configuration in super admin ( will be automated in future ) 5. Enable TikTok channel feature in an account --------- Co-authored-by: Sojan Jose <sojan@pepalo.com> Co-authored-by: iamsivin <iamsivin@gmail.com>
