To set up a Reddit Discord Bot for new Reddit posts, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. Once there, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free.

If you’re an existing user, click on the ‘Sign In’ button. New users should click ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create an account. After signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can view all your workflows and create new ones. To initiate the setup, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner.

A dialog box will appear asking for a name for your workflow. Enter ‘Send Discord Channel Message for New Reddit Post’ and select the appropriate folder for saving the workflow. After naming your workflow, click ‘Create Now’ to proceed.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’
• Name your workflow appropriately
• Select a folder to save the workflow

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows open for Trigger and Action. The Trigger is where you define the event that starts the workflow, and the Action is the event that follows.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for New Reddit Posts

For the trigger application, select ‘Reddit’ from the list. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’. This event signifies that the workflow will commence whenever a new post is created in your Reddit community.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Reddit account. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Reddit account. Once authorized, select the subreddit where you want to capture new posts. For example, if your subreddit is about Cricket, copy the subreddit name from the URL and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect.

• Select ‘Reddit’ as the trigger application
• Choose ‘New Post’ as the trigger event
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Reddit account

After setting the subreddit, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the response from a newly created post. This step confirms that the integration between Reddit and Pabbly Connect is successful.

4. Configuring the Action to Send Messages to Discord

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action. Select ‘Discord’ as the action application and choose ‘Send Channel Message HTML’ as the action event. This action will send a message to your Discord channel whenever a new post is created on Reddit.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Discord account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to provide a webhook URL, which you can find in your Discord channel settings under Integrations. Create a new webhook, name it (e.g., Captain Hook), and copy the webhook URL.

Select ‘Discord’ as the action application Choose ‘Send Channel Message HTML’ as the action event Copy the webhook URL from Discord

Paste the webhook URL into Pabbly Connect and select the channel where you want the messages to be sent. Customize the message format by including the post title, link, and community name using the mapped fields from the Reddit response.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing the Setup

After configuring the action, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. This will send a test message to your Discord channel. Go to your Discord channel to confirm that the message has been successfully sent.

If the message appears correctly with the details of the new Reddit post, your integration setup is complete. Now, every time a new post is made in your Reddit community, Pabbly Connect will automatically send a notification to your Discord channel.

This integration not only streamlines communication within your team but also ensures that everyone stays updated with the latest posts in real-time. You can further customize the messages as needed.

Conclusion

Setting up a Reddit Discord Bot using Pabbly Connect is a straightforward process that enhances team communication. By automating notifications for new Reddit posts, you ensure your team is always informed about the latest updates.
