Threads is Meta's text-first network and connects with its own OAuth flow (separate from Instagram/Facebook).
How to Connect
- Open Social Accounts and click the Threads tile.
- Authorize on Meta's Threads login screen.
- Your Threads profile appears with a green Connected badge.
Permissions Requested
Threads requests the scopes needed to read your basic profile and publish Threads posts (including media containers) on your behalf.
Publishing Specifics
- Text posts publish directly.
- Media posts use a two-step container flow: frik.io creates a media container (detecting image vs video from the file's content type) and then publishes it.
- Compose once in the main editor and select Threads alongside your other networks, or write a per-network override just for Threads.
Reconnecting & Disconnecting
If Threads shows Needs Attention, click Reconnect and re-authorize. To remove it, use ⋯ → Disconnect on the account card.
Troubleshooting
- Media won't publish: confirm the file is a reachable image or video URL. frik.io detects the type from the content-type header.
- Posts fail after a while: the token likely expired — reconnect to refresh it.
