## What she can post to Threads

Five hundred characters, and one setting: a thread finisher you can switch on to append a closing post automatically. Threads is the shortest hop between a written thought and a published one, and she can keep replying to her own post to build the thread out.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Character limit" icon="text-width">
    500 characters
  </Card>

  <Card title="Media" icon="photo-film">
    Optional. One image, one video, or a carousel
  </Card>

  <Card title="Post types" icon="layer-group">
    Text post, media post, carousel, reply
  </Card>

  <Card title="Analytics" icon="chart-line">
    Yes, for the account and for each post
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Numbers come back as views, likes and replies, plus reposts and quotes, at both the account and the post level.

|                   |                                                                                                                            |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Post settings** | None. Threads takes `__type` and nothing else, as shown in the [Threads settings reference](/public-api/providers/threads) |
| **Connect flow**  | One step. You authorize the account and she attaches it                                                                    |
| **Automations**   | Auto plug post, which adds a follow-up reply once the post passes a like count you choose                                  |

<Warning>
  What Threads sends back when something does not fit:

  * **Post text exceeds 500 characters limit.**
  * **One of the media URLs is invalid or inaccessible.** Threads fetches media by URL, so upload it to PostQueen first and the URL resolves.
  * **Error from Meta: We restrict certain activity to protect our community.** Slow down and try again later.
</Warning>
