Creating threads

What is a thread?

A thread is a series of connected posts published sequentially. Each post in a thread is numbered automatically (1/5, 2/5, etc.) so readers can follow along.

Creating a thread

Step 1: Start a thread

1. In the composer, click "Create Thread"
2. Type your first message
3. Click "Add Message" to add more posts

Step 2: Add messages

• Click "Add Message" after each post
• Each message becomes a separate post in the thread
• Messages are numbered automatically (1/3, 2/3, 3/3, etc.)

Step 3: Edit messages

• Click any message to edit it
• Delete a message by clicking the delete icon
• Reorder messages by dragging them

Step 4: Schedule or post

• Post Now: Publishes the entire thread immediately
• Schedule Post: Pick a date and time for the thread
• Let it Flow: Automatically schedules at optimal times

Thread limits

Threads are a Plus plan feature. Plus users can create threads with up to 25 messages per thread.

How threads are published

When a thread is scheduled:

1. All messages in the thread are scheduled
2. Messages publish sequentially (one after another)
3. lucette automatically adds numbering (1/3, 2/3, 3/3)
4. Each message respects your minimum interval settings

Example: If you have a 3-message thread and a 1-hour minimum interval:

• Message 1 publishes at 2:00 PM
• Message 2 publishes at 3:00 PM
• Message 3 publishes at 4:00 PM

Adding media to threads

You can add images to any message in a thread:

1. Click the message you want to add media to
2. Click the image icon
3. Upload your image(s)
4. Images are attached to that specific message

Media limit: Up to 4 images per message (Plus plan).

Editing threads

You can edit scheduled threads:

1. Find the thread in your Queue
2. Click the edit icon
3. Edit any message, add/remove messages, or change the schedule
4. Click "Save"

Note: If the thread has already started publishing, you can only edit messages that haven't published yet.

Thread best practices

• Keep it focused: Each message should add value
• Use numbering: lucette adds this automatically, but you can reference it
• Plan length: Longer threads work better for Plus users (up to 25 messages)
• Space naturally: Let lucette handle intervals for better engagement
