Do I need to be a Slack admin to set this up?

You need permission to add apps in your Slack workspace, which most workspaces grant to all members by default. If your workspace restricts app installs, an admin needs to approve the Reddscan Alerts app once — after that the connection works.

How fast do Reddit alerts arrive in Slack?

On the $9 10-Day Pass and the $19/mo Starter tier, Reddscan monitors Reddit within minutes of a post or comment going live and pushes the alert to Slack immediately on detection. The Pass gives you the same within-minutes speed as Starter for 10 days of evaluation; for ongoing live Slack alerting, Starter is the practical minimum subscription.

Why do the Slack alerts not show the full post title or author?

Deliberate product decision. Reddscan notifications carry intent class + subreddit + age only — enough for your team to decide whether to act on it. The full match (post title, AI fit score, matched keywords, suggested reply) lives in the Reddscan dashboard. Two reasons: the dashboard is where you triage, reply, and mark matches as handled (so the notification just drives you there), and channel messages get archived forever which makes them a bad place to leak product-data into.

Can I route different monitors to different Slack channels?

Yes. Each product in Reddscan can connect a different Slack channel. Monitors within that product inherit the product's channel, so brand-mention products go to #brand, competitor products to #competitive, and buying-intent products to #leads. Use Slack channel-routing rules to fan out further if your team is bigger.

Is Slack delivery available on the Reddscan 10-Day Pass?

Yes. Every notification channel — Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, webhook — is available on the $9 Pass and on every subscription. The Pass includes within-minutes checks and full AI intent scoring, so you can test Slack alerts with real speed before subscribing.

Monitor Reddit and Get Slack Alerts in Real Time

TL;DR

Click Connect in the Slack section, pick your channel in the OAuth popup, and done. Every matching Reddit post pings the Slack channel within minutes on the $9 10-Day Pass or Starter ($19/mo). The message carries intent class + subreddit + a single "View Dashboard" button — the full match (title, fit score, keywords, suggested reply) lives in the Reddscan dashboard so your team triages everything in one place instead of in scattered Slack threads.

Why route Reddit alerts to Slack

Slack is where most product, marketing, and growth teams already live — routing Reddit alerts there means matches show up in the same place every other team signal does. Reddit posts climb fast (the first one to three hours decides whether your reply anchors the thread or arrives after the buyer picked a competitor), so the alert channel needs to be one your team checks reflexively. Email gets buried. Telegram is solo-founder territory. Slack is where the ad-hoc "anyone seen this?" pings already happen — adding Reddit matches to that flow takes zero behavior change.

The other reason: channel routing. A single Slack workspace can hold #leads (buying-intent matches), #brand (your product name mentions), #competitive (competitor-pain matches), and #support (negative threads worth replying to) — each fed by a different Reddscan product connected via one-click OAuth. You get the same engine producing four different team feeds, each going to the audience that owns the response.

What a Reddit alert looks like in Slack

The Slack alert is intentionally lightweight — just the monitor name, match count, and a single "View Dashboard" button. Your team gets the signal without the noise; the full match list lives in the Reddscan dashboard where you triage, reply, and mark as handled.

How to set it up (3 steps)

Setup takes under two minutes the first time. The same three steps work for every product you wire to a Slack channel.

Step 1
Click Connect in Reddscan
In your Reddscan dashboard, open the product you want to wire up. Find the Notifications section and click Connectin the Slack row. An OAuth popup opens Slack's channel picker.
Step 2
Pick your Slack channel
In the Slack popup, choose the channel you want Reddit alerts to land in — most teams use #leads, #brand-mentions, or a dedicated #reddit channel. Authorize Reddscan Alerts and the webhook is handled automatically.
Step 3
Connection confirmed
Reddscan posts a 🟢 Connected to Reddscan Alerts message to the channel automatically as soon as you authorize. No manual test needed — the confirmation proves the wiring is live and matches start landing immediately.

Tips for Slack routing

Dedicate a channel. Even if your team is small, a #reddit channel keeps the alerts from getting drowned in your main team channel. Pin it; check it twice a day.
Fan out by product. Each Reddscan product can connect a different Slack channel. Brand-mention products → #brand, buying-intent products → #leads, competitor-pain products → #competitive.
Use Slack reactions as a triage workflow. :eyes: = someone is replying. :white_check_mark: = handled. :no_entry_sign: = noise, skip. A simple emoji convention keeps the channel from accumulating unanswered matches.
Click through to the dashboard. The Slack alert is a trigger, not a destination. Hit "View Dashboard" — that's where you see the full match, run an AI-suggested reply through, mark as handled, and skip the noise class entirely on paid tiers.

Other notification channels

Slack is one of five channels Reddscan supports — all available on every paid plan, including the $9 10-Day Pass. Pick the one your team already lives in.
