It pulls new posts via the Reddit API (no credentials needed), then uses GPT-4o-mini to analyze each: scoring relevance based on your criteria and generating a tailored comment suggestion. Results save to a Notion database for tracking. Optionally, it emails a summary of findings in HTML format.\n\n## Setup steps\n1. **Keywords & Subreddits**: Edit the first node to add your search terms and subreddits (or leave blank for all Reddit).\n2. **OpenAI**: Add your API key in the AI node credentials. Customize prompts for relevance scoring (e.g., \"Score 1-10 on lead potential\") and comment generation (e.g., \"Suggest a helpful reply for engagement\").\n3. **Notion**: Duplicate the template database, get your integration secret, and paste it into the Notion node's credentials. Map fields like title, score, and comment.\n4. **Email (optional)**: Set up Gmail credentials, add your recipient email, and test the summary format.\n5. **Trigger**: Activate the schedule node for daily runs\u2014adjust time if needed.\nTest end-to-end with a manual trigger before going live.\n\n\n**Need Help with This Template?
