Monitor any subreddit. Fire your n8n workflow the moment a matching post appears. No OAuth. No 7-day approval. No paid Reddit tier.
Overnight, every n8n workflow using the built-in Reddit node stopped working. The new approval process takes a week and rejects most indie developers.
Rebuilding the polling, dedup, and retry logic manually with the HTTP Request node works but is fragile, repetitive, and a different code path for every workflow you own.
Self-hosted n8n: Install the free n8n-nodes-reddwire community node. Set subreddit + keyword + interval. Done in 30 seconds.
n8n cloud: Can't install community nodes? Use the hosted version. Same logic, same payload, runs on our infrastructure, fires webhooks straight into your workflows.
No Reddit account. No API key. No OAuth.
Type the name. bitcoin, technology, anything.
Only fire on posts mentioning crash, launch, or whatever matters.
Your n8n workflow fires the second a new matching post appears.
