Overview
This node integrates with the Facebook Threads API to allow users to interact with Facebook Threads programmatically. Specifically, for the Thread - Post operation, it enables posting a new message (a post) as a reply within an existing thread. This is useful in scenarios where automated responses or updates need to be posted to ongoing conversations on Facebook Threads.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically posting updates or announcements to a specific thread.
- Responding to user comments or questions in a thread via automation.
- Attaching media or links to posts within threads for richer content sharing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Thread ID | The unique identifier of the thread where the post will be made. |
| Text | The textual content of the post to be published in the thread. |
| Additional Fields | Optional extra data to include with the post: |
| - Media URLs | One or more URLs pointing to media files (images, videos) to attach to the post. |
| - Link URL | A URL link to attach alongside the post content. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Facebook Threads API after posting the message. This typically includes details such as the ID of the newly created post/reply and any metadata returned by the API.
If media or links are attached, the output confirms their successful inclusion in the post.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API authentication token for Facebook Threads API access.
- The node expects credentials configured in n8n that provide authorization to perform actions on Facebook Threads.
- Network connectivity to
https://graph.facebook.comis necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or expired API tokens can cause authorization failures.
- Incorrect Thread ID may result in "not found" errors.
- Improperly formatted media URLs or unsupported media types might cause the post to fail.
Error messages:
- Authorization errors usually indicate missing or invalid credentials; verify and update your API key/token.
- HTTP 404 errors suggest the specified thread does not exist or is inaccessible.
- Validation errors may occur if required fields like "Text" or "Thread ID" are empty; ensure all mandatory inputs are provided.
