Publer lets you automatically cross-share your Threads posts to the Story of the Instagram account linked to your Threads account.

This helps you give your Threads content more visibility without having to manually create a separate Instagram Story each time.

To cross-share a Threads post to an Instagram Story:

• Go to Create in Publer.
• Select the Threads account you want to post from.
• Create your Threads post as usual.
• Click the AutoShare icon below the post.

• Enable Share to Instagram story.

• Choose how you want the Story to appear by selecting a Light background or Dark background.

• Click Save.
• Finish creating your post and publish or schedule it as usual.
• Once the Threads post is published, it will automatically be shared to the Story of the Instagram account linked to that Threads account.

• You can check your story on the respective Instagram account.

To set up Instagram Story cross-sharing from Post Presets:

You can also make this the default behavior for new Threads posts by using Post Presets.

• Go to the Threads account settings in Publer.
• Open Post Presets.
• Find Default auto-share and click Add auto-share.

• Enable Share to Instagram story.

• Choose a Light background or Dark background.
• Click Save.

Once enabled, new posts created for that Threads account will automatically use these AutoShare settings by default.

Keep in mind:

• The Instagram account does not need to be connected separately to Publer.
• It must be the Instagram account linked to the Threads account you are posting from.
• The Threads post must be published before it can be shared to the Instagram Story.
• You can choose between a Light background and Dark background for the Story.
• You can enable Share to Instagram story for individual posts from the composer or set it as the default from Post Presets.
• If the original Threads post is deleted before it is shared, there will be no post to cross-share.
• Threads post limitations still apply. You can check the supported post types and limitations here.
