One brief, a full Threads plan
Hermes breaks a goal into steps on its own: draft the posts, upload media, schedule each one and report back with what it queued for Threads.
ThreadsAutomate Threads with Hermes
Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting Threads posts, scheduling them at the right times and reporting back when the queue is full.
Quick start
Install the CLI where Hermes executes commands, then hand over the Threads plan in plain language.
Terminal
npm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # A task for Hermes:# "Plan next week on Threads: draft five# posts, schedule them and list# what you queued"What Hermes can run on Threads
Windows that fit Threads
Tell Hermes when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on Threads, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Threads posts arrive with their media in place instead of a bare link.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Hermes for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your followers on Threads until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Threads
Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected profiles and sees what Threads supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Hermes
Give it the brief. The agent writes Threads-shaped posts and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Hermes can pull the results after.
What Threads allows
Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Post length
- Up to 500 characters per post
- Video length
- Up to 5 minutes per video
- Carousels
- 2 to 20 images or videos in one post
- Topic tags
- One tag per post (Threads uses topic tags instead of classic hashtags)
- API publishing
- Up to 250 API-published posts per profile per 24 hours
- Account
- A Threads profile, created with an Instagram account

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Hermes connect Threads to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where Hermes runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Threads posts reliably.
Can Hermes schedule Threads posts at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the posts it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.
Will Hermes publish to Threads on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the posts wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Threads and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into Threads posts plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Hermes access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
What do I need to connect Threads to postqueen?
A Threads profile, which you get by creating one with your Instagram account. Run the connect flow once and approve the official Threads API permissions. postqueen can then publish on your behalf until you revoke access.
When is the best time to post on Threads?
There is no universal best hour: it depends on when your own followers are active. Pick consistent slots, schedule a few weeks ahead, then check analytics and shift your queue toward the times that earn replies.
