Publish to Threads
Post text, links, images, videos and carousels to Threads from a workflow. Connect your Threads profile once. Real result included.
What you'll build: you type a topic, an AI writes the post, and BeeGentic publishes it to your Threads profile. Three blocks: Start → Agent → Threads. About 5 minutes.

|---|---|
| Can't connect, or "app not available" | During Meta's review, your Threads profile must be a tester. Ask the BeeGentic team. |
| "Threads posts are limited to 500 characters" | Shorten the text. Emoji count as more than one character. |
| Video post takes a while | Threads processes video first. BeeGentic waits up to 5 minutes. |
| Publishing limit reached | Threads allows 250 posts per profile per 24 hours. Check with Get Publishing Limit. |
