Overview
This node integrates with the Facebook Threads API to manage threads on the platform. It allows users to create new threads, retrieve thread details, delete threads, post messages to existing threads, and reply to threads. This is useful for automating social media management tasks such as scheduling posts, moderating conversations, or aggregating thread data.
A practical example: A social media manager can use this node to automatically create a new thread with text content and attached media URLs, then later post replies or additional comments programmatically without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Text | The main content of the thread to be created. |
| Additional Fields | Optional extra fields to include when creating a thread: |
| - Media URLs | List of URLs pointing to media (images, videos) to attach to the thread. |
| - Link URL | A URL link to attach to the thread. |
These properties are specifically for the Create operation on the Thread resource.
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response from the Facebook Threads API for each input item processed.
For the Create Thread operation, the output JSON typically includes:
id: The unique identifier of the newly created thread.message: The text content of the thread.- Other metadata returned by the API depending on the request and Facebook's response.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API authentication token for Facebook Threads API access.
- The node expects credentials containing either an access token or OAuth token data.
- Network connectivity to
https://graph.facebook.comis necessary. - Proper permissions/scopes granted to the API token to create threads on behalf of the user.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or expired access tokens will cause authentication failures.
- Missing required parameters like "Text" will result in errors.
- Incorrect media URLs or unsupported media types may cause the API to reject the request.
- Network or permission issues can lead to HTTP errors.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or missing tokens; refresh or provide correct credentials.
- Validation errors often specify which required field is missing or malformed.
- API rate limits or permission denials will be indicated in the error response; ensure your app has sufficient privileges.
