How to Check Threads Account Permissions for Connecting to a Kontentino

Written by Ana Tyshchenko

To successfully connect your Threads account to a Kontentino, ensure that:


✔ Your Threads account is linked to an Instagram Business Account.


✔ Your Instagram Business Account is connected to a Facebook Page where you have admin access.


✔ You have granted permissions for third-party app access.

🔹 Step 1: Ensure Your Threads Account Is Linked to Instagram

  1. Open the Threads app and go to your profile.


  2. Tap the menu (☰) in the top-right corner and go to Account settings.


  3. Tap "Other account settings" and check if your Threads account is linked to your Instagram account.

✔ If your Threads account is not linked to Instagram, it cannot be connected to third-party tools.

🔹 Step 2: Confirm Your Instagram Account Is a Business Account

  1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.


  2. Tap the menu (☰) → Account type and tools.


  3. If you see "Switch to a professional account," your account is still personal - switch to Business (professional account).

✔ Your Instagram account must be set to "Business" for full API access.

🔹 Step 3: Verify Your Facebook Page Connection & Admin Role

Since Threads is managed via Instagram, your Instagram must be linked to a Facebook Page:

  1. Go to Facebook.com and open the Facebook Page linked to your Instagram.


  2. Navigate to the Professional dashboard → Linked accounts.


  3. Check if your Instagram Business Account is properly linked.


  4. Ensure your Facebook profile has Admin access under Page Access.

✔ If you don’t have admin access, ask an existing admin to grant you full permissions.

🔹 Step 4: Ensure Third-Party App Access Is Enabled

  1. Go to Instagram and tap the menu (☰) to go to settings → App website permissions → Apps and websites.

  2. Under Active apps, check if you have authorized the Kontentino.


  3. If the app is not listed, try reconnecting through the Kontentino platform.

✔ If needed, revoke access and retry the connection.

🔹 Step 5: Try Connecting Again

  1. Enable pop-ups in your browser (Threads login may require them).


  2. Clear cache & cookies to prevent login issues.


  3. Log out and log back into Threads and Instagram.


  4. Try connecting Threads again to your Kontentino account.
