# Connect Threads and Configure Reply Audience Settings

> Link your Threads profile to Hivra to publish posts with reply audience controls and per-post caption overrides, part of the Meta token family.

Hivra connects to Threads using the Threads API. Once your account is linked, you can publish content from the Hivra Composer to your Threads profile. Threads offers granular control over who can reply to each post, which Hivra exposes as per-post settings in the Composer.

## Connect your Threads account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    In Hivra, go to **Dashboard → Integrations** and find the **Threads** tile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the redirect">
    Click **Connect** to start the authorization flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize in Threads">
    You are redirected to Meta's authorization page for Threads. Accept all requested permissions — these cover creating posts on your Threads profile. Declining any scope prevents the connection from completing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection card">
    After the redirect returns you to Hivra, your Threads handle and profile picture appear on the integration card. The health chip reads **Healthy** once the monitoring job confirms the token is valid.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Threads publish settings

When you add Threads as a destination in the Composer, a settings panel appears with the following options.

### Reply audience

Use the **Who can reply** selector to control which accounts can respond to your post. Threads exposes the following options:

| Option                      | Who can reply                                                                         |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Everyone**                | Any Threads user                                                                      |
| **Accounts you follow**     | Only accounts you follow on Threads                                                   |
| **Mentioned only**          | Only accounts you explicitly @mention in the post                                     |
| **Followers only**          | Accounts that follow you on Threads                                                   |
| **Parent post author only** | Only the author of the post you are replying to (relevant for threaded conversations) |

<Tip>
  Choose **Mentioned only** or **Followers only** when you want to limit unsolicited replies on posts that are likely to attract broad attention.
</Tip>

### Per-platform caption override

By default, the Composer's shared caption is used for all destinations. To write a different caption specifically for Threads, click the Threads tile in the **Customize Caption Per Platform** section and enter your Threads-specific text. Hashtags and @mentions you include here apply only to the Threads post.

## Reconnect your Threads account

If the Threads integration card in the dashboard overview shows **Attention/Issue**, your Meta token has expired or been revoked.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Go to **Dashboard → Integrations** and locate the Threads card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Reconnect">
    Click **Reconnect** on the card to restart the OAuth flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Re-authorize in Threads">
    Accept all permissions on Meta's authorization page to issue a fresh token.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the health chip">
    Wait for the monitoring job to run. The chip should return to **Healthy** after the check runs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  If your Instagram or Facebook Pages accounts are also connected in the same workspace, check whether those cards also show **Attention** after reconnecting.
