Practical ways you can use Buffer and Reddit
Engage users with Reddit popular content
Leverage popular Reddit posts to enhance your engagement strategy. Whenever a new hot post is detected in a subreddit related to your business, Zapier sends it to Buffer’s social queue for direct sharing. This keeps your audience engaged with curated, high-quality content, saving time and driving traffic.
Business OwnerMonitor Reddit discussions about your tools
Gain insights into user feedback or potential issues by tracking subreddit discussions about your technology stack or IT tools. When new Reddit posts match specified search terms, Zapier creates a log in Buffer as a new idea. This automation consolidates tech-related chatter, helping prioritize responses or improvements efficiently.
ITPost hot Reddit topics to Buffer
Stay on top of trending topics by sharing them directly to your social media queue. When a new hot post from a specific subreddit appears, Zapier automatically adds it to your Buffer queue.
