Connect Reddit to Slack

Send Reddit to Slack: new posts from the subreddits you follow, mentions of your brand and weekly trend digests land in the channels your team already reads, so the team can decide what to do about them.

Build your own

Build any Reddit and Slack automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Reddit and Slack in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Only post Reddit items that have at least 5 upvotes or 3 comments, and group the rest into a 5pm summary.

Use AI to label each mention as bug, request, praise or complaint and post it to the matching Slack channel.

Use cases

Why people connect Reddit and Slack

How the two apps work together

  • A check every few minutes searches Reddit for your keywords or subreddits.
  • The script filters posts, can score or summarise them with AI, and posts them to Slack.
  • It remembers what was posted so each Reddit item appears once.

  • Community teams monitoring discussion

    Posts and comments mentioning the product are posted to #community. The team can respond quickly.

  • Product managers collecting feedback

    Feature requests and complaints from Reddit go to a Slack channel. Feedback reaches the people who can act.

  • Support teams watching for issues

    Bug reports on Reddit are posted to #support. Problems are caught before tickets come in.

  • Marketing teams following trends

    A daily Slack post lists rising threads in the niche. The team knows what people are discussing.

More apps

Setup

Connect Reddit and Slack once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

Reddit

Social / community

  1. Submit an access request under Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy and wait for approval.
  2. Then go to reddit.com/prefs/apps and create an app, type script for your own account or web app.
  3. Set the redirect to https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback.
  4. Under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard, enter the client ID and secret. For a script app, you also enter your Reddit username and password there yourself.

Slack

Team chat

  1. At api.slack.com/apps, create a new app from scratch in your workspace.
  2. Under OAuth & Permissions, add the bot scopes the automation needs, such as chat:write, channels:read and channels:history.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections, choose Slack and enter your app's details, then install it to your workspace.
  4. In each channel the automation should use, type /invite @your-app-name.
