1. Connect to Threads
Go to the Networks page. Click on the Threads tab to proceed. If your Threads account is not connected to Outfy, you will see a button - Add Threads Account.
Click on the button and start connecting your Threads account to Outfy. A window will appear that says this: Connect your Threads Account.
Note: You need a Threads account to connect it to Outfy. If you don't, please create one. Once you do that, you can connect it to Outfy and use Outfy's network features to promote your store on Threads.
Once your social media account is connected to Outfy, it will remain so - unless you (or the social media network) change any settings or credential-related information in the social media account (s). If such a thing occurs, you have to reconnect your social media account (s) to Outfy.
When you click Connect your Threads account, it will take you to a box that will prompt you to log in to your Threads account and authorise Outfy to access it. Please do the needful.
2. Threads Settings
You are on the Networks page, and your Threads account is connected to Outfy. It will appear under the Threads tab.
The first option you’ll see in the Threads tab is a button to disconnect Threads from your network. However, you don’t need to do that now since you must stay connected to post on Threads.
Below the disconnect button, you’ll find settings for Threads posts, which allow you to share three types of posts: link posts, single-image posts, and multi-image posts.
Further down, there’s a link that leads to the section where you can manage post templates.
