📺 Full walkthrough video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me4d4BILvHk What it does This workflow automatically monitors trending content on Reddit using keywords you define. It scrapes the most engaging posts, calculates an engagement score based on upvotes and comments, ranks content in a leaderboard, and delivers a professional HTML email dashboard — while storing historical data in a structured table for long-term trend tracking. No manual research. No tab switching. Just the top-performing Reddit content in your inbox, automatically. Who's it for Social media managers, content creators, brand managers, marketing teams, and agencies who need to track keyword performance and trending Reddit content for competitive analysis, content inspiration, and community discovery. How it works The workflow runs a full scraping cycle for each keyword in your list: Reddit Monitoring**: Searches top posts by keyword with upvotes and comment data Engagement Scoring**: Ranks content based on upvotes and comments Email Report**: Delivers a formatted HTML dashboard with clickable links to original posts Data Storage**: Pushes all results into a DataTable for historical tracking and trend analysis Requirements Apify account (free tier works — no recurring cost) Gmail account for report delivery n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) Reddit Scraper Lite: trudax~reddit-scraper-lite How to set up Step 1: Configure Apify credentials Set up Apify API authentication in n8n Ensure access to the Reddit scraper: trudax~reddit-scraper-lite Install the Apify community node: https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/n8n Step 2: Add your keywords Open the "Query social media" DataTable and add one keyword per row.
