How to connect Threads
Sign in with the Instagram account your Threads profile uses and approve access.
- Create a BulkPublish account. The free plan connects three channels and does not ask for a card.
- Open Channels and choose Threads.
- Sign in with Threads and approve the permissions. BulkPublish stores the token, refreshes it on its own, and tells you if it ever needs reconnecting.
- Write a post, pick a time, and queue it. There is nothing else to install.
Ways teams use the Threads integration
People who post conversationally and want Threads kept active with the same ideas they are already sharing on X, Bluesky or LinkedIn.
- Bulk upload a month of Threads posts from a CSV in one pass, then let the queue send them out at the times you set.
- Write once and cross-post everywhere. The same post, adapted per network, goes to Threads and every other connected channel together.
- Turn a blog or podcast RSS feed into an automatic Threads post the moment a new item appears.
- Ask an AI agent to draft the week, review it in the content calendar, and approve it. The agent schedules to Threads through the MCP server.
Who publishes to Threads this way
Each of these has a page of its own, with the networks and the features that audience leans on.
Automate Threads from code or chat
The same Threads account works through the API and an AI assistant, not only the app.
Post to Threads from an AI agent
The hosted MCP server exposes 20 tools over OAuth 2.1, so Claude, ChatGPT, Muse, Grok, Cursor and any other MCP-compatible agent can draft, schedule, publish and read Threads analytics for you. There is no API key to paste and nothing to run locally.
Threads API access
Everything on this page is available programmatically. One REST endpoint publishes to Threads and every other channel, with SDKs for Node and Python, a Postman collection, and first-party nodes for n8n, Zapier, Make and IFTTT.
Free Threads tools
Free to use, no sign-up. They are handy while you are writing the post, and you can schedule the result here when you are done.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about scheduling Threads posts with BulkPublish.
Can I schedule Threads posts in advance?
Yes. Pick any future time in your own timezone, or drop the post into a recurring queue slot and BulkPublish picks the next opening for you. Scheduled posts publish on their own, so nothing on your phone has to be awake.
Can I auto-post to Threads automatically?
Yes. A recurring queue publishes on a repeating weekly pattern without you choosing a date each time, and an RSS feed can auto-post to Threads the moment a new item appears. Both run on our servers, so they keep working while you are offline.
How many Threads posts can I schedule at once?
As many as your plan allows. Bulk Compose takes a CSV or a pasted list and turns it into a full schedule in one pass, so a month of Threads content is one upload rather than thirty separate posts.
Can I plan a content calendar for Threads?
Yes. The calendar shows every scheduled post across all your channels at once, so you can see what is going out on Threads next to everything else, drag a post to a new slot, and spot the gaps before they happen.
What is the Threads character limit?
500 characters per post. BulkPublish counts as you type and blocks anything over the limit before it is queued, so you find out while you are writing instead of when the post fails.
Can I post to more than one Threads account?
Yes. Connect as many Threads accounts as your plan allows, group them into channel sets, and publish to the whole set at once. Each account keeps its own schedule, its own analytics and its own token.
Do I get Threads analytics?
Published posts are checked for their numbers and shown next to every other channel, so you can compare Threads engagement against the rest without switching tabs. Link clicks are measured by BulkPublish itself, so they are available even where Threads reports nothing.
Is there a free Threads scheduler plan?
Yes. Three channels and thirty posts a month, with no card required. Threads counts as one channel per connected account.
