What does this Reddit automation do?

A daily run reads the thread and a named agent files what changed as a task.

What can you do with it?

  • Follow a thread without reading it daily
  • Get only what changed since yesterday
  • Keep the running history in one place

The Steps

This automation runs in 4 steps:

  1. When Schedule — Every day
  2. Then Reddit — Get Post
  3. Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Thread Watcher")
  4. Then Taskade — Add Task

What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?

The "Thread Watcher" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows the subreddits and threads your team follows, remembers the comments it has already reported, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.

A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.

Who is this automation for?

Built for teams tracking an ongoing discussion. A daily run reads the thread and a named agent files what changed as a task.

How do you set it up?

  • Open the "Automations" tab in your workspace.
  • Click ➕ Add automation, then start from scratch.
  • Add the trigger "Every day" from Schedule.
  • Add the action "Get Post" from Reddit.
  • Add the action "Ask an agent" from Taskade AI. Point it at an agent called "Thread Watcher".
  • Add the action "Add Task" from Taskade.
  • Connect your Reddit account when prompted, then enable the toggle in the top-right corner.
