Orqestra Telegram setup: your first hour

You want Orqestra ready before the next publish window — not after an hour of jumping between tabs. The path is short: open the bot, link Threads through your web session (no password typed into the mini app), start trial, then stay in the same Telegram chat for drafts, scheduling, scouting, and commenting. Steps below match what the live app shows today.

Orqestra talks to Threads through your web session. On this path it never asks for your password inside the mini app.

Before you start

Have these three things open and ready:

• Phone with Telegram — that is where Orqestra runs.
• Computer with Chrome or Firefox — for Orqestra Session Import.
• A Threads account you can open at threads.com in that same browser profile.

You do not enter your Instagram password inside Orqestra on the recommended path.

Open Orqestra in Telegram

1. Start from Orqestra in Telegram.
2. Launch the mini app from the bot menu.

Using the app outside Telegram

Open https://app.orqestra.site in a browser or from a home-screen shortcut, then tap Log in with Telegram. Sign in once; the session works the same as inside the mini app.

First Threads screen

With no Threads account linked yet, you land on Welcome to Threads Growth.

1. Tap Pull session (the label becomes Pull session… while import runs).
2. The app opens Import.

On that screen you will see that sessions are encrypted on the server (AES-256-GCM). The mini app does not ask for your password here.

On Import: pair first, then pull

Check the status line on Import:

• PC extension not connected — tap Connect PC extension and finish pairing below. The main pull button unlocks only after the status flips to connected.
• Telegram Web on the same PC as the extension — pairing can be optional if the extension is already linked in that browser profile.

Install the browser extension on PC

On Import, tap the Chrome or Firefox icons to install on your computer.

Store links

• Chrome / Edge: Orqestra Session Import in Chrome Web Store
• Firefox: Orqestra Session Import on Firefox Add-ons

In-app checklist

1. Open the store link on your computer.
2. Click Add to Chrome / Add to Firefox.
3. Open the extension (Orqestra Import).
4. Return to the mini app for pairing.

Pin the extension in the toolbar so you can find it quickly later.

Log in to Threads in the right browser

In the same Chrome or Firefox profile where you installed the extension:

1. Open threads.com.
2. Confirm you are in the account you want in Orqestra.

The extension reads allowed session cookies from that browser — not from your phone.

Pair phone and PC

Back on Import in the mini app:

1. If the status still says the extension is not connected, tap Connect PC extension.
2. Copy the pairing code (format like AB3K-7M2P, valid about 10 minutes).
3. On PC, open Orqestra Import → Connect phone.
4. Paste the code into Pairing code and tap Connect. The popup should show your Telegram destination (for example @username) before it finishes — confirm it is your account.
5. Leave API as https://app.orqestra.site (the default).

When pairing works, the status line updates and you can move on.

Pair once on PC, import the session, and Generator, Parser, Plan, and commenting stay in the Telegram chat you already use.

Pull your Threads session

With the extension connected:

1. Tap Pull session on Import (or again from the welcome screen).
2. Keep Chrome or Firefox open on the PC with threads.com logged in while the bridge runs — often a few minutes. Pairing codes expire in about 10 minutes.
3. A short confirm code (six characters) may appear on the phone. That is an anti-phishing check; it should match the extension if prompted.
4. When import finishes, Orqestra attaches your account and moves you to Start trial.

Same computer as Telegram Web?

A local extension can sometimes finish the bridge without the phone→PC polling path when Telegram Web and the extension share one browser profile.

Start trial and credits

After import, Start trial opens full access for the number of days shown on that screen. Credits refill on a daily rhythm into one balance shared by Generator, Parser, Plan, commenting, and Virality — exact numbers are on the trial card (no card required; Telegram Stars only if you choose to pay later). Check balance and pricing from Home or Settings when you are ready.

Your first hour after trial

Tap Start trial, then use the bottom bar: Home for active jobs and credit balance, Tools for Generator, Parser, Plan, Library, commenting, and Virality.

Do this right now (about 15 minutes)

1. Draft one post — Tools → Generate → write something you would actually publish this week.
2. Park it in Plan — Tools → Plan → pick the next real publish window.
3. Scout one thread — Tools → Parse → bookmark a post worth engaging with (it lands in Library; empty until you save something).
4. Start commenting in Manual — Tools → Comment → approve each send yourself. Switch to Auto later only if you are comfortable with replies going out without a review step.

Need a second Threads account later: Home → Add account, then repeat Import.

Setup without a PC browser

The recommended path needs Orqestra Session Import on a computer with threads.com open. Phone-only setup is not supported for the normal bridge. Use Paste JSON (recovery) on Import only when support gives you an export — not for everyday onboarding.

If something fails

Recovery only: On Import, expand Paste JSON (recovery) if support gave you a session export. That is not normal onboarding.

Orqestra stores your Threads web session encrypted. On the recommended setup you never type your Meta password into the mini app — only use a browser where you already logged in. How sessions are handled: Orqestra privacy.

Finish setup

• Open Orqestra in Telegram and complete the session import once.
