With Uncanny Automator, you can post to your Threads account whenever there’s activity on your WordPress website. Automatically push new posts from your WordPress blog to your Threads feed, or post links and photos when admins or even regular users perform specific actions on your website.
If you have the free version of Uncanny Automator, you’ll first need to connect your site with a free Uncanny Automator account, which will give you 250 free app credits to use with Threads. If you have Uncanny Automator Pro, simply activate your Pro license key to get unlimited usage of the Twitter integration.Important: Similar to other social media platforms, Threads imposes rate limits.

Now that you have connected your free Automator account or activated your Pro license key, you’re just a few steps away from integrating your Threads account.
- Log in to your Threads account.
- From your WordPress Admin Dashboard, navigate to Automator > App integrations > Threads.
- Automator will prompt you to connect your Threads account. Click Continue As [profile name].
Posting to Threads from WordPress
Now that you have connected Automator to your Threads account, posting to Threads from WordPress is simple.
To post to Threads from WordPress using Automator, from your WordPress Admin Dashboard, navigate to Automator > Add new recipe. Once you’ve selected a recipe type and configured your action, select Threads in the Actions panel.
From the dropdown list that appears, select Create a thread post.
Automator will then present you with a form with two fields, Content and Image URL or Media library ID.
You can use a combination of static text and tokens to fill out these fields. To learn more about using tokens in your Automator recipes, click here.
Best Practices and troubleshooting
Now that you’ve connected your Threads account to your Automator and created a few recipes, you will be able to post directly to Threads from your WordPress website. However, Threads’ character limits, rate limits, and/or media restrictions may cause recipes to behave unexpectedly.
If a recipe fails to complete as expected, refer to the recipe logs and ensure that posts satisfy Threads’ character limits, rate limits, and media restrictions.
