Send Reddit Insights To Slack

Send Reddit Insights to Slack

This workflow automates daily market intelligence gathering from a specific Reddit community and delivers a structured, actionable report directly to your Slack channel every morning. It combines scheduled triggers, AI-powered research and analysis, internet search, and Slack messaging to keep product teams informed about community sentiment, pain points, trends, and competitor mentions — all without manual effort.

Who It's For

This workflow is ideal for product managers, marketers, founders, and strategists who want to stay on top of what a Reddit community is talking about — without spending hours reading threads. It's especially useful for SaaS, developer tools, and B2B product teams leveraging Reddit for market research.

What It Does

1. Triggers daily at 8:00 AM UTC — A scheduled trigger kicks off the workflow each morning.
2. Searches for relevant Reddit posts — Searches Google for posts in your target subreddit focused on complaints, pain points, and feature requests.
3. Deep-dives into Reddit threads — An AI research agent browses at least 15 Reddit posts and comments, runs additional targeted searches, and compiles a comprehensive raw research report.
4. Structures the research into executive-level insights — A second AI agent transforms the raw data into a clean briefing covering sentiment, pain points, whitespace opportunities, trends, competitor mentions, and more.
5. Delivers the report to Slack — A well-formatted market intelligence report is posted to your specified Slack channel.

What You Need

• A Needle platform account with access to AI and Internet Search connectors.
• A Slack account with permissions to post messages to your target channel.
• A Slack connector configured and authenticated in Needle.
• The name of the subreddit you want to analyze (set as a workflow variable).

How the Flow Works

Setup Guide

1. Set your target subreddit — Go to the Variables panel and update Target_Subreddit to any subreddit name (without the r/ prefix). For example: SaaS, entrepreneur, devops, marketing.
2. Connect Slack — Make sure your Slack connector is authenticated and select the correct channel in the Slack node. You'll need to replace the placeholder channel ID with your own Slack channel ID.
