We cut our menu from 14 coffees to 6. Sales went up. Fewer choices, better coffee.

Why run Threads from a conversationClaude writes, Breakreach publishes.

Threads rewards frequency and a conversational tone, which is exactly what you produce while talking to an assistant. Posting the good line from a conversation takes one more sentence.

Nothing runs on your machine. Once a post is scheduled, it publishes from our servers, so Claude can be closed and your laptop can be off.

Set it up in two minutes.6 steps, once.

    Connectors let Claude use outside tools for you. You can disconnect them at any time.

Let Claude write the Threads postThen say what to change.

Threads rewards the tone you already use in a conversation. Ask for the one line worth posting from what you just wrote, or a looser version of a post you made on X.

Scheduled Threads posts go out from Breakreach's servers, so the conversation, the app and your laptop can all be closed.

After it's publishedStats, edits and deletions.

How it did

Views, likes, replies and reposts for each post, your followers and 30-day views and likes, with a daily views trend. Replies can be read, answered or hidden from the chat.

Edit or delete it

Until it goes out, you can change anything from the conversation: move it to Friday, change the caption, turn it back into a draft. A failed post can be fixed and rescheduled the same way. Once it's published, the connector can't edit or delete it on Threads, and deleting it in Breakreach only takes it off the calendar, so edit or remove a published post in the Threads app.

A safe routine for a teamDrafts first, then the calendar.

  • Ask for drafts, not postsSay save it as a draft and nothing is scheduled. Drafts land in the Breakreach calendar, where the team can read them, and schedule the draft for Thursday at 9 AM turns one into a post.
  • Review in the calendarEvery Threads post, from Claude, the API or the app, sits on the same calendar with its time, account and media. Open one to edit it or move it.
  • Name the brandWith several workspaces, the connector uses your first one unless you name another, so say which brand the post is for.
  • Approve each postSet Claude to ask before it acts (details below), so nothing is published without someone clicking allow.
  • Know when something failsA post that hits a temporary error is retried up to three times over 30 minutes. If it still fails, it's marked failed in the calendar with a notification, and you can fix and reschedule it from the chat.
  • Revoke access anytimeDisconnect the connector in Claude and the assistant can't post any more. Posts already scheduled stay in the calendar until you cancel them.

Using the connector in ClaudePlans, confirmations, phones.

  • Which plans have itConnectors from Claude's directory work on every plan, Free included. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner first adds the connector for the organization in Organization settings → Connectors, then each member signs in with their own account.
  • Confirmations before postingClaude asks before using a tool, with Allow once or Always allow. In Customize → Connectors → Breakreach → Tool permissions you can set each tool to Always allow, Needs approval or Blocked: for example, reading posts always allowed and creating posts needing approval. Research mode can call connector tools without asking.
  • Web, desktop and phoneConnectors work on claude.ai, in the desktop apps and in the iOS and Android apps. Add Breakreach on the web or desktop, and it's available on your phone the next time you log in.
  • DisconnectingIn Customize → Connectors, select Breakreach: Disconnect signs Claude out, and Remove in the menu takes it off your account. Posts already scheduled in Breakreach still go out.

Other ways to post to Threads from ClaudeAnd when they're the better choice.

  • Threads' own schedulerThe composer's menu has Schedule, and scheduled posts wait in Drafts. Meta says several days ahead, without a stated maximum. Adam Mosseri
  • Meta Business SuiteCan publish to Threads alongside Facebook and Instagram. Meta
  • Zapier or MakeNeither has an official Threads app. Zapier lists a third-party one.
  • Copy and pasteAsk the assistant for the text, then post it yourself in the app. Free and fine for a post or two, but nothing is scheduled and the assistant can't see how it did.

When it doesn't workThe fixes for what people run into.

  • Threads shows as a separate account from InstagramIt is. Meta issues separate tokens, so connect Threads on its own in Settings even if the Instagram account is already there.
  • My insights are emptyThreads metrics need a permission approved in September 2026. Reconnect the account once and views and replies appear.
  • Can I post the same text to X and Threads?Yes, one prompt can target both. Mind the limits, 280 on X against 500 on Threads.
