## Post To Threads

### What it is
Post to Threads using Ayrshare

### How it works
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
This block uses Ayrshare's API to publish content to Threads (Meta's text-based social platform). It supports text posts (up to 500 characters with one hashtag), images, videos, and carousels (up to 20 items), with automatic link previews when no media is attached.

The block authenticates through Meta's API via Ayrshare. Content can mention users via @handle syntax, be scheduled for future publishing, and include approval workflows for content review.
