Threads Posts
The Threads Posts connection reads the posts on your Threads profile with their views, likes, replies and shares. Apex shows them on the Posts tab under Attribution, next to what your ads did.
Authentication
Click Connect
On the Integrations page, find the Threads Posts card and click Connect. You can also start it from Set up Apex → Attribution → Connect your posts.
Sign in to Threads
Sign in with the Threads profile you post from.
Approve read-only access
Approve the permissions below. Apex never posts, replies or deletes anything.
| Permission | Why Apex asks |
|---|---|
threads_basic | See your profile and list your posts |
threads_manage_insights | Read each post's views, likes, replies, reposts, quotes and shares |
Threads' sign-in lasts 60 days. Apex renews it on its own while the connection is in use.
Data Synced
Each sync reads your own posts from the last 13 months. Your reposts of other people's posts stay out.
| Figure | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Views | Times the post was seen |
| Likes | Likes |
| Comments | Replies |
| Shares | Reposts, quotes and shares together |
If Threads won't give the numbers for a post, Apex still lists it and leaves the numbers blank rather than 0.
How Apex Uses This Data
- Posts tab and post pages list every post with its numbers and the visits and sales that probably came from it.
- Followers shows the profile's followers today and how many it gained over the dates you picked, counted once a day from the day you connect.
- Top posts and Organic vs paid cards on Attribution, shown when the switch is on Organic or Both.
- Campaign content. A post that carries an Apex Link shows under that piece of content on the campaign page.
Disconnecting
Disconnecting stops new reads and deletes the posts Apex read through it, with the pictures it copied. To withdraw Apex's access at Threads too, go to Settings → Account → Website permissions in Threads and remove Apex.
