Connecting Threads with Zoho Social

Connecting Threads with Zoho Social

Meta Threads, also simply known as 'Threads', is a text-based social media platform that was introduced by Meta in 2023. Users can share information like text, images, and videos, and initiate and be a part of discussions. The integration of this platform with Instagram makes it easy for followers synchronization, and to share content. This text-sharing application makes it easy for you to have real-time conversations with fellow Threads users, making it an engaging platform to discuss current events and other trending topics.

You can publish your content in the form of individual posts in Threads similar to sharing content on your X handles. The possibility of sharing information in the form of threads gives you more space to be creative and narrate your story in an interesting manner in order to hold your audience's attention until the end.  

By leveraging the user base of Instagram, Threads aims to bring more users to the platform, and to build a community of active social media users who are ready to share real-time content with their followers.

With Threads in Zoho Social, you can publish or schedule, and monitor your threads' engagement directly from the dashboard.
