Threads

How Harken searches public Threads posts, which replies it records, and when Threads is available.

Threads is a text-first network where many marketers, creators and small business owners now share what they are working on. Its posts read like quick notes, which makes questions such as "what are you all using for invoicing?" easy to spot.

What Harken collects

When Threads is switched on, an agent's topic source runs each keyword as a search over recent public posts. Threads offers no hashtag search, so a keyword typed with a # is looked up as the plain word. Each keyword brings back a limited batch of the closest matches, and anything older than the source's look-back window is dropped.

Matches show up in the Posts feed with the post text, the author's public profile name, the time and the public like and reply counts, along with a link to the original.

Every match goes through the same scoring as a LinkedIn post. A post that only mentions a word in passing gets a low relevance score and drops down the list.

Which actions count as signals

• Posting: the author wrote a post that matches your keywords.
• Replying: someone answered a matching post. Harken saves the reply text and its time next to the person. The author answering in their own thread is skipped.

Likes and reposts add to a post's engagement score only and do not create entries for people.

How the data reaches Harken

Both the keyword search and the replies come from one licensed social data provider, the same one that serves TikTok and Instagram comments. It is billed per request, and each crawl's usage counts toward your workspace's daily budget so that a busy keyword cannot run away with costs.

Harken does not connect to your Threads or Instagram account. It reads public posts only, and it never posts, likes or replies for you.

Availability

Threads is in the broader social chatter group of the agent wizard. It can be chosen only after Harken has switched it on; until then it is shown with a Soon label and cannot be clicked.

FAQ

Is Threads the same as Instagram for Harken?

No. They share an account system but are collected and scored separately, and each card shows which network it came from.

Why are some authors missing a job title?

Threads profiles rarely list one. Harken shows what the public profile offers and leaves the rest blank instead of guessing.
