📌 What it is

A smart Reddit monitoring system that cuts through the noise and delivers only the posts that matter.

📌 What it does

It finds fresh, engaging Reddit posts (with upvotes, real text, and within 7 days), checks if they’re truly on your topic using OpenAI, and gives you a clean digest with links, context, and summaries.

📌 How the automation works

1. Manual launch

   The workflow starts with a Manual Trigger - you kick it off with a button.

2. Define the topic

   The Set topic node assigns the key topic (for example, "AI").

3. Search Reddit

   The Find Your Reddit node searches for posts with that keyword across all subreddits, sorted by “new.”

4. Filter posts

   The IF node keeps only posts that:

   • have at least 5 upvotes,
   • contain text,
   • were published within the last 7 days.

5. Prepare the data

   The Set node formats the output: upvotes, subreddit size, subreddit name, date, link, and a trimmed snippet (first 500 characters).

6. Classify with OpenAI

   The OpenAI Classify node checks if the post is truly on-topic (e.g. “Is this post about AI?” → Yes/No).

7. Branching logic

   The IF1 node handles classification results:

   • If “No” → the post goes to OpenAI Summary Backup, which creates a short meta-summary.
   • If “Yes” → the post continues without backup summarization.

8. Merge results

   The Merge and Merge1 nodes combine classification and summary data.

9. Final output

   The Result node collects the final fields: upvotes, subreddit size, subreddit, date, link, and short summary.

📌 Practical value:

• For research & content - instantly surface story ideas for LinkedIn or your blog.
• For trend monitoring - see what your niche is buzzing about right now.
• For sales & community building - spot hot discussions where you can join the conversation with your product or expertise.

In short, this is your personal “smart Reddit filter” - running 24/7 and serving you only the posts worth your attention.
