Reddit Lead Scoring Workflow: Apify + OpenAI + Slack (n8n)

Turn fresh Reddit posts into scored leads—automatically (Apify + OpenAI/OpenRouter + Slack in n8n)

This n8n workflow monitors Reddit hourly, scores newly published posts for relevance and intent, and immediately alerts you in Slack. It also compiles a daily 24-hour digest of the most valuable posts—so you can act fast without manually sifting through subreddits.

What this workflow does

• Runs every hour to fetch newly published Reddit posts from your configured subreddits and keyword searches using Apify.
• Filters and cleans results by excluding NSFW content and blocked words, removing low-score posts, and (optionally) enforcing strict keyword matching.
• Avoids duplicates by skipping posts that were already processed in previous executions.
• Scores each post for relevance/intent and generates a short summary and suggested reply using OpenAI/OpenRouter—or uses a keyword-based scoring fallback when AI is disabled.
• Logs results to an n8n Data Table (and can optionally append the same data to Google Sheets).
• Sends instant Slack alerts when a post meets or exceeds your configured alert threshold.
• Posts a daily digest every morning, compiling the last 24 hours of logged posts and optionally using OpenAI/OpenRouter to produce a brief Slack-formatted briefing.

Use cases

• Track high-intent Reddit discussions related to your product and respond quickly in public threads.
• Generate a lightweight lead scoring feed for marketing/SaaS ops teams using Slack alerts plus history in Data Table/Sheets.
• Monitor niche communities by keywords, then automate triage and summaries for faster outreach.

Technical details

• Scheduled execution (hourly + daily morning digest)
• Integrations: Apify (Reddit fetching), OpenAI/OpenRouter (scoring + summaries/replies), Slack (alerts + digest), optional Google Sheets logging
• Nodes/logic: if, set, code, merge, slack, filter

Setup tip: Add an Apify API token, ensure your Apify actor run limit (maxSpendUsdPerRun) matches your budget, then configure Slack OAuth, invite the bot, and set the target channel for both alert and digest messages.
