How to Automatically Post YouTube Videos on Reddit

  • by

In this section, we will look at how you can integrate YouTube with Reddit – following this, each time you upload a new video to your YouTube channel, it will automatically be posted to Reddit.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link YouTube with Pabbly Connect to capture the recently uploaded videos, then link Pabbly Connect with Facebook and post the captured videos on Reddit.

Steps to Automatically Post YouTube Videos on Reddit

1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Setup YouTube as the Trigger App to Capture Videos
3. Setup Reddit as the Action App to Post Videos

Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow

A. Sign In / Sign Up

To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.

B. Create Workflow

To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Step 2:- Setup YouTube as the Trigger App to Capture Videos

We will now look at the steps to establish a link between YouTube and Pabbly Connect – This will help us fetch the recently uploaded videos on your YouTube Channel.

A. Trigger App

Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be YouTube.

Choose ‘YouTube’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’ as a Trigger Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect YouTube Account

To connect with your YouTube account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With YouTube’. Also, grant the authorization.

Select the Channel ID, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

Expand Response Received to find the latest uploaded video, thus confirming our connection.

Step 3:- Setup Reddit as the Action App to Post Videos

Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to post the captured YouTube videos on Reddit. Therefore, Reddit will be our Action App.

A. Action App

Choose ‘Reddit’ as your Action App, select ‘Submit a Link Post’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect with Reddit Account

To connect with your Reddit account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Reddit’. Also, grant the authorization.

C. Map Necessary Fields

Now that you have connected your Reddit account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.

Map the Title from the step above.

Enter a Subreddit Name, map the URL from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the video will automatically be posted to Reddit.

Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated YouTube with Reddit. Now, each time a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel, it will automatically be posted to Reddit.
