Connect Reddit to Telegram

Telegram is a quick, phone-friendly place to receive updates, and Reddit has the fastest-moving discussions in many niches. Connecting the two sends the posts that matter to your phone or channel, summarised or filtered so you only see what is worth reading.

Build your own

Build any Reddit and Telegram automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Reddit and Telegram 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 send posts mentioning "BTC" or "ETH" that reach 100 upvotes within 2 hours of posting.

Let me reply /more to a Telegram alert to get an AI summary of the top comments on that post.
