Threads

#What you can post

• Text up to 500 characters per post.
• Up to 20 images or videos. Two or more files make a carousel.
• Threads: extra parts are published as replies, each one replying to the part before it.

#Connect your account

1. In the sidebar, click + Add next to Channels. Only workspace owners and admins can add channels.
2. Choose Threads.
3. Click Continue to Threads, sign in and allow access.

#For self-hosters

1. Create a Meta app with the Threads API use case.
2. Register this redirect URL: {APP_URL}/api/channels/oauth/threads/callback
3. Set THREADS_APP_ID and THREADS_APP_SECRET.
4. Submit the app for App Review. Until it's approved, only the app's test users can connect.

Threads downloads media from its public URL, so APP_URL/uploads/... (or your S3 public URL) must be reachable from the internet.

#Analytics and plugs

Postline collects, per post: views, likes, replies (shown as comments), and reposts plus quotes (shown as shares). It also tracks your follower count.

Plugs:

• Auto-repost: not supported.
• Follow-up: supported. Postline replies with a follow-up once the post reaches the number of likes you set.

#Known issues

• Threads downloads media from a public URL. If Postline serves files from a local address, the post fails with a message asking you to deploy Postline to a public address or use S3 storage.
• If Threads can't process the media, the post fails. If processing takes too long, Postline retries.
• Postline refreshes the access token automatically. If the refresh fails, reconnect the channel.
