Web Intents
Web intents offer a simple way for people to interact with Threads directly from your website, starting with the ability to quickly create posts and follow profiles.
When clicking on a Web intent URL, a new window opens and users are directed to Threads to complete the intended action. On mobile (iOS and Android), web intents will open the Threads app whenever it is installed. If they are not already logged-in, they will have the opportunity to sign in or create a Threads account.
When linking intents to an image, we recommend using the Threads logo available in our Threads Brand Resources.
