Threads Scheduling

Schedule Threads Posts and Carousels

Markaestro schedules Threads posts with text, a single image or video, or carousels of up to 20 items, and publishes them through Meta's official Threads API. For media posts it creates the upload, waits until Threads has finished processing it, and only then publishes, so a slow video never fails silently.

Updated

What You Can Schedule on Threads

  • Text-only posts (up to 500 characters)
  • Single image or single video posts
  • Carousels of 2 to 20 items

How Publishing Works

  • Connect the Threads account for each brand.
  • For media, Markaestro creates a Threads media container, polls until processing finishes, then publishes it. Carousels are rejected above 20 items rather than cut short.
  • Posts publish programmatically, with no manual step.

Limits Markaestro Checks Before You Schedule

The composer checks every Threads post against these limits while you write, so a post is never queued only to fail at publish time.

CheckLimit
Caption length500 characters
Media requiredNo, text-only posts are allowed
Media per postUp to 20
Media typesText only, Images, Video, Carousels

Full image and video requirements are on the Threads specs page.

Metrics You Get Back

Once a post is live, Markaestro pulls its Threads metrics into Analytics, exactly as Threads reports them. A metric the platform does not return stays blank rather than showing zero.

  • Views
  • Likes
  • Replies
  • Reposts

Those numbers also feed Intelligence, which finds your best posting windows and the posts worth reusing with Intelligent Evergreen.
