What you need to post to Threads
Posts and threads. 500 characters.
Open Connected Channels and press Connect next to Threads. You sign in on Threads itself. PlatPost never sees your password.
How to schedule a Threads post
The steps are the same for every network.
- Connect your Threads account in Connected Channels.
- Open Create, type one idea and pick a tone. PlatPost writes three drafts in your own voice.
- Edit the drafts, fill any gap, and keep the ones you like.
- Drag a kept draft onto a day on the calendar and tick Threads.
- Set the time. PlatPost posts it then, and the calendar shows that it went out.
Threads limits that PlatPost checks
The text limit PlatPost uses for Threads is 500 characters. The composer counts as you type.
A Threads post can be text alone. You can add an image or a video from the media studio.
Post to Threads and your other networks together
One idea can go to Threads and to any of the other 15 networks in the same step. Each post is written for its network, never one text copied across.
When you tick more than one network, the composer counts against the tightest limit, so the post fits everywhere you send it.
The route PlatPost uses
PlatPost posts to Threads through the route the network approves for apps. It never uses scraping or a copied browser session, because that can get an account restricted.
