How to Get Notified When a Reddit User Posts

Short answer: following a user on Reddit puts their posts in your feed, but there is no dependable alert when they post. To get a push, email or Slack alert for each new post from a Reddit user, create a Reddit user monitor in AyeWatch.

Set it up

1. Open Create a monitor → Reddit.
2. In Monitor, choose User.
3. Paste the profile link, like https://www.reddit.com/user/spez/. /u/ links work too.
4. Optional: add Only alert me about, like "posts about a new release".
5. Pick how often to check and click Create monitor.

What you get

The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.

It tracks posts the user submits. Comments are not included.

Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.

What it costs

1 credit a check, 2 with the filter. Checking a few times a day is 4 credits a day, which fits several users on Pro. Hourly is 24 a day, a fit for Pro+.

Plans: Free Preview gives you 3 credits to try a monitor on a daily check. Pro is $9 a month for 500 credits and checks as often as hourly. Pro+ is $19 a month for 1,500 credits and adds ASAP mode. Failed checks are refunded, and the form shows the exact daily credit use before you save.

Who uses this

• Fans of a developer or mod who posts patch notes and announcements.
• Traders following a user who posts research.
• Brands keeping up with a reviewer or a known critic.
