1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To set up a Reddit Discord Bot, we start with Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows seamless integration between Reddit and Discord. First, access Pabbly Connect by visiting Pabbly.com/connect in your browser.

Once on the Pabbly Connect homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create an account. Existing users can simply sign in. After signing in, you will receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner.

A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Enter a name like ‘Send Discord Channel Message for New Reddit Post’ and select a folder to save it in. Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed. Now, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action.

• Click on ‘Trigger’ to set up the event that will start the automation.
• Select ‘Reddit’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Post’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger, click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Reddit account using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Reddit Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you’ll connect your Reddit account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and allow Pabbly Connect to access your Reddit account. This authorization process is secure and straightforward.

Next, select the subreddit from which you want to capture new posts. For instance, if your subreddit is related to cricket, copy the subreddit name from the URL and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect. After that, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the response from Reddit.

• Create a new post in your subreddit to ensure the test captures a recent post.
• Once the post is created, return to Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’.

Once you receive the response, it indicates that the integration between Reddit and Pabbly Connect is successfully established.

4. Configuring Discord Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that we have set up the Reddit trigger, it’s time to configure the Discord action. Select ‘Discord’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Send Channel Message (HTML)’ as the action event to send messages to your Discord channel.

Click ‘Connect’ again, and you will need to enter the Webhook URL from your Discord channel. To obtain this, navigate to your Discord server settings, find the ‘Integrations’ section, and create a new Webhook. Copy the Webhook URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Name your Webhook (e.g., Captain Hook) and select the appropriate channel. Ensure you save the changes in Discord before returning to Pabbly Connect.

With the Webhook URL in place, you can now customize the message that will be sent to your Discord channel whenever a new Reddit post is created.

5. Customizing the Message for Discord Channel

In this final step, you will enter the message details you want to send to your Discord channel. For example, you might write ‘Hello Team! Check out the new post on Reddit!’ followed by the post title and link.

To include dynamic content, map the title and URL from the previous Reddit response captured by Pabbly Connect. This ensures that every new post will have its details automatically included in the message sent to Discord.

Use the mapping feature to insert the title and link from the Reddit post. Specify the bot name and any additional settings you wish to configure.

After customizing your message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything works smoothly. Check your Discord channel to see if the message has been sent successfully. If so, your integration is complete and working as intended!
