Create a Reddit developer app, add the Postly callback URL, and connect your own Client ID and Client Secret for subreddit-aware publishing.
Direct Reddit link posts are often filtered or removed. For better deliverability, create a text, image, or video post and place links in the first comment.
Setup Guide
Follow the Reddit app preferences screenshot below to create a Reddit web app, paste Postly's redirect URI, then copy the generated Client ID and Client Secret into Postly to finish the connection.
Open reddit.com/prefs/apps and scroll to create application. Enter an app name, choose web app, and add a description. The About URL field is optional and is not used for the Postly connection, so you can leave it blank or add your website. Use web app because Postly needs both a Client ID and Client Secret.
Open Reddit app preferencesIn the Redirect URI field, paste Postly's callback URL exactly. Reddit checks the redirect URI during OAuth, so extra spaces, missing paths, or a different domain can prevent the account from connecting.
Redirect URI
https://api.postly.ai/v1/workspaces/oauth/callback/reddit.comComplete the reCAPTCHA and click create app. After Reddit creates the app, copy the Client ID and Client Secret. The Client ID is the short ID shown under the app name, and the Client Secret is the secret value shown in the app details.
In Postly, open the Reddit connection screen and paste your Reddit Client ID and Client Secret. Postly uses these IDs to send you to Reddit, receive the OAuth callback, and connect the authorized Reddit account to your workspace.
Connect Reddit in PostlyPostly sends you to Reddit for authorization, then Reddit returns you to the registered redirect URI after you approve access.
Postly can publish Reddit submissions after authorization. For best results, use text, image and video workflows instead of direct link drops.
Postly can add a first comment after the post is created, which is useful when a subreddit allows links but you do not want the main post to look promotional.
Where supported by the subreddit, Postly can load available flair options so you can choose the right label before scheduling.
Publishing Controls
A premium Reddit workflow should protect community trust while keeping teams fast. These are the controls Postly surfaces for planning, approvals and safer publishing.
Queue posts by subreddit, campaign and publishing window.
Connect with your own Reddit Client ID and Client Secret.
Plan Reddit-native titles that match each community's expectations.
Draft context-rich text posts and supporting copy for media.
Schedule image or media posts with supporting text where available.
Plan native-feeling video posts with titles and context.
Move links, UTMs and CTAs into a first comment when appropriate.
Choose the right community before scheduling a post.
Load supported flair dynamically per subreddit.
Flag risky link posts and suspicious automation patterns.
Space queued posts carefully instead of blasting communities.
Publish through your own Reddit app, not a Postly shared identity.
Safe / Risky Comparison
Reddit communities often reward native context and punish promotional shortcuts. Use these combinations as a practical preflight check before scheduling.
Best default for community-first posts, tutorials, questions and launch context.
Use supporting text and flair to make the media useful inside the subreddit.
Pair video with a clear title, context and any allowed links in the first comment.
Direct Reddit link posts are often filtered or removed by subreddit rules and anti-spam systems.
Reddit is not one audience. Each subreddit has its own rules, flair requirements, moderator expectations and tolerance for promotion. Postly's Reddit workflow is built around choosing the community first, then shaping the post type, title, body and first comment to fit.
The goal is not to automate link drops. Postly helps teams plan useful text, image and video posts, review them before publishing, and keep direct links out of the main post when that improves deliverability.
With BYO Reddit app setup, Postly provides the redirect URL while you provide your Reddit Client ID and Client Secret. That keeps the publishing identity tied to your Reddit app instead of a shared Postly app.
