Add Reddit to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Reddit's API works in submissions, comments, subreddits and the votes behind them, and reading a listing means walking pagination by the fullname of the last item rather than by an offset, so a naive paging loop repeats itself. The part that surprises product teams is the rules layer above the API: every subreddit sets its own posting requirements and a moderator can remove a post minutes after it goes live, so a successful write is not a promise that the content stays up and your product should show what actually happened rather than what was submitted. Each customer authorises their own account, so a post goes out as them, under their karma and their standing. Rate limits apply per account as well as per client, and fastn handles them.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer authorise their own Reddit account so posts and comments go out as them rather than from an account you operate.
Publish a submission or a reply from your product, and surface it if a subreddit's own rules remove it afterwards.
Read a subreddit's listings by walking fullname pagination, which is how Reddit pages rather than by offset.
Track score, comment count and awards back per tenant so your product reports on what a customer's own posts actually did.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent summarises what a subreddit is saying about a topic and cites the threads it read.
An agent drafts a reply and posts it only within the permissions granted, with the account and subreddit logged.
An agent reports which of a customer's posts gained traction and which were removed.
Example prompt

Set up Reddit in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Reddit connector in your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Reddit account, so anything published is attributed to them and not to you.
- 03Map the subreddits your product reads and posts to, and decide how it reports a post that a moderator later removes.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the Reddit integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Reddit integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Reddit account inside your product and work their posts, pages and comments there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: anything published is public immediately, and each network gates access behind its own review process. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Reddit update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Reddit connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you publish and listen from inside your product instead of a separate social tool without wiring it twice.

Zoho CRMReddit integration FAQ
How do I add a Reddit integration to my product?
Enable the Reddit connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Reddit account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Reddit client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Reddit account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Reddit account and only ever sees their own posts, pages and comments. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Reddit integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent summarises what a subreddit is saying about a topic and cites the threads it read.
Who maintains the Reddit integration?
fastn does. When Reddit changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product publish to a customer's own Reddit account?
Yes. Each customer authorises their own account, so a post goes out as them, under their permissions, never from a shared account you own. That also means a customer revoking access affects only their own connection.
Can I read engagement back from Reddit?
Yes. Comments, reactions and reach come back scoped per tenant, so your product can act on them or show them in your own reporting without one customer's numbers mixing with another's.
What can I build with the Reddit integration?
A common starting point: let each customer authorise their own Reddit account so posts and comments go out as them rather than from an account you operate. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Reddit integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Reddit does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
