Text and image posts, and their replies. A quieter place to say the same thing.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Threads and press **Connect**. You will be sent to sign in; the connection is saved once that succeeds.

### What you will need

| Field | What it is |
| - | - |
| App ID | Your Meta App ID (from Meta for Developers) |
| App Secret | Your Meta App Secret |

### Getting the credential

1. Go to [Meta for Developers](https://developers.facebook.com/apps) → **Create App**
2. Under **Use Cases** → search for **Threads API** → add it
3. Configure your redirect URI under Threads API settings
4. Copy **App ID** and **App Secret** from Settings → Basic

## Notes

* Wait \~30 seconds between container creation and publishing (Meta recommendation)
* Text posts have a 500 character limit
* Threads are public by default — no private/friends-only posting
* Carousel posts: create each item as `is_carousel_item: true`, then create a CAROUSEL container
