Before you start

  • You have a Threads profile. Threads profiles are created with an Instagram account.
  • You are the owner or an admin of the Skylane workspace. Other roles cannot connect accounts.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Open Accounts in Skylane

    In the left-hand menu, click Accounts. Scroll to the Connect an account section, where each network has its own card.

    Click Connect Threads

    On the Threads card, click Connect Threads. Threads' official sign-in screen opens.

  3. Step 3

    Sign in and approve

    Sign in with the Instagram account your Threads profile uses, then approve the permissions Skylane asks for.

  4. Step 4

    Choose what to add

    Back in Skylane, a box called Choose what to add from Threads appears. Tick each one you want to schedule to - each counts as one social account on your plan - then click the Add button (it shows how many you ticked, for example Add 1 account).

  5. Step 5

    Check it says Connected

    Under Connected accounts, your Threads profile now shows a green Connected badge. You can click Queue times next to it to set the days and times you like to post.

Good to know

  • Each Threads post can be up to 500 characters. The composer counts them for you and can split longer text into a thread.
  • Threads connections need renewing from time to time. Skylane warns you 7 days before.

Common problems

Post too long

Shorten the Threads caption in the composer, or split it into a thread.

Connection expired

Go to Accounts and click Reconnect next to the Threads profile. See Reconnect an account.
