Threads matured fast: its public API now supports full third-party publishing, and Meta added basic in-app scheduling. But the winning Threads workflow is usually cross-posting — adapting the text content you already write for X into Threads' more conversational feed.
Typefully treats Threads as a first-class citizen next to X and Bluesky; generalists like Buffer, Metricool, and Publer include Threads among their channels so it slots into your existing calendar.
