# **What is Threads Integration in Social Planner?**

Threads Integration adds Meta’s text-centric social network to the list of channels you can manage inside GHL Customer Care. By logging in with your Instagram credentials, you can compose, schedule, and track Threads posts alongside Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others, all from one calendar. This closes a major competitive gap and keeps your team working in a single workflow.

## **Key Benefits of Threads Integration**

-   **One-stop publishing:** Manage Threads alongside Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more from a single Social Planner calendar, no app switching.
-   **Automation that saves hours:** Use Review Flow, RSS Auto-Posting, and Category Queues to auto-fill your calendar and keep Threads active without manual posting.
-   **Scale content in minutes:** Bulk-create and schedule hundreds of posts via Advanced CSV Upload, map hashtags, categories, first comment, and more.
-   **Fewer publishing surprises:** Compose within API-aligned limits (500 characters, up to 20 images or one 5-minute video) to prevent failed posts and rework.
-   **Consistent brand presence:** Schedule ahead and recycle evergreen content so your Threads channel stays on-cadence, even when your team is busy.
