Create A Meta App And Connect Threads

Follow these steps to create your own Meta developer app, add Threads permissions, and connect one Threads account to one ThreadsAuto workspace.

1. Open Meta For Developers

Create or open your Meta developer app from the Meta dashboard.

  • Use the Meta account that owns or manages the Threads profile.
  • Create a Business app if Meta asks for app type.
  • Keep the app in Testing while you are setting up.

2. Add Threads API

Inside your Meta app, add or configure the Threads API product.

  • Open your app dashboard.
  • Find Threads API in products or use cases.
  • Complete the required setup steps shown by Meta.

3. Copy App ID And App Secret

ThreadsAuto needs the App ID and App Secret from the same Meta app.

  • In Meta, open App Settings, then Basic.
  • Copy App ID.
  • Reveal and copy App Secret.
  • Paste them in ThreadsAuto Account Settings, or Workspace Settings if this workspace uses its own Meta app.

4. Add The OAuth Redirect URI

Paste this exact URL in the valid OAuth redirect URI field for your Meta app.

https://threads.kohliconnect.in/studio/threads_callback.php
  • Use https, not http.
  • Use the exact domain and path.
  • Do not add a trailing slash.
  • Enable Client OAuth Login and Web OAuth Login if Meta shows those switches.

5. Add Test Users

Before your app is live, add the Threads account owner as a tester so Meta allows the connection.

  • Open App Roles or Roles in the Meta dashboard.
  • Add the Facebook/Meta account as a tester, developer, or admin.
  • Accept the tester invitation from that account if Meta sends one.
  • Log into Threads with the same account before clicking Connect Threads.

6. Request Threads Permissions

For basic publishing and insights, start with the permissions required for your workflow.

  • threads_basic: read the connected user profile and own Threads content.
  • threads_content_publish: publish Threads posts.
  • threads_manage_insights: read insights for connected Threads content.
  • threads_read_replies: read replies for analysis.
  • threads_manage_replies: create and manage replies if your workflow needs it.
  • Optional later: threads_delete, threads_keyword_search, threads_profile_discovery, threads_manage_mentions, threads_share_to_instagram, threads_location_tagging.

7. Connect In ThreadsAuto

Return to ThreadsAuto and connect the workspace.

  • Open Workspace Settings.
  • Confirm whether this workspace uses Account Meta App or Workspace Meta App.
  • Click Connect Threads.
  • Complete the Meta approval window.
  • After the window closes, Workspace Settings refreshes with the connected Threads account ID.

URL Blocked Error

This means Meta received a redirect URL that is not allowed for the app currently being used.

  • Check that the redirect URI is added exactly.
  • Check that App ID and App Secret are from the same Meta app.
  • If Workspace Override is on, add the redirect URI in that workspace app too.
  • Check that Client OAuth Login and Web OAuth Login are enabled.
  • Save changes in Meta, then try Connect Threads again.
