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.

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.
