Marketing with Reddit: Post, Fetch, and Monitor Subreddits

This workflow automates Reddit interactions with OAuth2 authentication, replacing manual logins and API calls that take 12+ hours weekly for teams managing 200+ posts or fetches. It handles token acquisition/refresh, rate limiting, content validation, and operations like posting or getting posts. Key nodes include ManualTrigger for testing, Set (Reddit Config Setup) for credentials, Function (Token Validity Check/Content Validator/Rate Limit Compliance) for security and limits, Switch (Auth Flow Router/Operation Router) for routing, HTTP Request (Token Refresh/Reddit OAuth Authentication/Reddit Post Creator/Reddit Get Posts) for API calls, Wait (Compliance Delay) for throttling, and Set (Auth Success/Operation Success/Validation Error) for responses. It helps social media managers (5-20 staff) in marketing agencies or brands ($1M-$10M revenue) handling 100-500 Reddit tasks monthly, reducing errors by 80% and enabling compliant automation.\n\nSaves 10 hours/week on 200+ interactions, cutting compliance risks by 90%. Suits digital agencies, community managers in tech/retail. Requires Reddit API (free app creation), n8n ($20/month cloud). Scalable to 1,000 calls/day with token refresh; needs HTTPS.\n\nInstall n8n via cloud.n8n.io or self-host (docker run -it --rm -p 5678:5678 n8nio/n8n). Create Reddit app at reddit.com/prefs/apps; get client ID/secret, set in Set node. Add username/password as env vars. For webhook, use ManualTrigger or add Webhook node; configure URL with header auth.\n\nTest with ManualTrigger input {operation: 'post', subreddit: 'test', post_title: 'Test', post_content: 'Content'}; verify token and post. Errors: 401 (invalid creds, recreate app), 429 (rate limit, increase Wait delay). Activate in n8n; monitor executions. Maintain quarterly app review, token expiry checks.
