Threads — Connect it to MokonyxSocial

MokonyxSocial posts your Joomla content to your Meta Threads profile as text posts through the Threads API. Keep in mind Threads posts are text-first and capped at 500 characters, so long articles get trimmed to fit.

What you need

• A Threads account linked to a Meta/Instagram account.
• A Meta app in your developer account with the Threads API use case enabled.
• A long-lived Threads access_token for the profile you want to post to.

Get your credentials

Access token access_token (required)

This is the bearer token the Threads Graph API uses to post on your behalf. Here's how to get it:

1. Sign in at https://developers.facebook.com/ and go to My Apps → Create App, or open an app you already have.
2. In the app dashboard, add the Threads API use case and walk through its setup.
3. Under Threads API → Settings, add your Threads account as a user/tester and grant the threads_basic and threads_content_publish scopes.
4. Run the Threads OAuth flow (the Graph API Explorer works too) to authorize your profile and get a user access token, then exchange it for a long-lived token that lasts about 60 days.
5. Copy that long-lived token — that's what you'll paste in.

User ID user_id (optional)

Your numeric Threads user ID. Leave it blank and MokonyxSocial will look it up from your token automatically. Fill it in if you'd rather pin a specific profile.

1. Visit GET https://graph.threads.net/v1.0/me?fields=id,username&access_token= in your browser.
2. Copy the numeric id from the response.

Set it up in MokonyxSocial

1. In Joomla admin, go to Components → MokonyxSocial → Services → New.
2. Choose Threads.
3. Enter the credentials above.
4. Click Send Test to verify, then Save & Close and make sure it's Published.

Verify

Once Send Test succeeds, open Threads and confirm the test post shows up on your profile. Then publish a Joomla article and watch for it to appear.

Troubleshooting

• "Invalid OAuth access token": your token expired or is wrong — generate a fresh long-lived token and re-exchange it.
• Permissions/scope error: re-authorize and make sure you granted threads_content_publish (not just threads_basic).
• Post created but never appears: the publish step failed — confirm your account is fully activated and try again.
• Your text got cut off: you went over 500 characters — trim the post or the excerpt you're mapping.

Notes & limits

• 500-character cap per post.
• Long-lived tokens expire after ~60 days, so plan to refresh.
• Threads limits how many posts you can publish per day (around 250), so go easy on bulk posting.
