PostozoHow to connect Reddit to Postozo
Sign in with Reddit and start scheduling. This guide shows each screen in Postozo, what Reddit asks for, and how to fix common errors.
What you need before you start
- A Reddit account in good standing. New accounts with little karma may be blocked by some subreddits.
- The subreddits you want to post in. You pick the subreddit for each post in the editor.
Reddit uses a sign-in button (called OAuth). You never share your Reddit password with Postozo.
Connect Reddit step by step
Step 1. Open Add Channel
Sign in to Postozo. On the Calendar, press Add Channel at the top of the channel list. A window opens with a tile for every network. Find the Reddit tile and press it. Each tile also has a How to connect link that opens this guide.
If the tile says Coming soon on this server, the server you use has not added its Reddit app keys yet. Ask the person who runs your Postozo server. On postozo.com this is done for you.
Step 2. Sign in on Reddit
Postozo sends you to Reddit to sign in. This screen belongs to Reddit, so we cannot show it here. What you will see:
- Reddit opens and asks you to log in.
- Reddit lists what Postozo may do: know your username, submit posts, read posts and pick flair. Press Allow.
You never type your Reddit password into Postozo. Reddit sends you back with a sign-in that Postozo stores encrypted.
Reddit connects 1 account per sign-in, so there is no list to pick from. You go straight back to the Calendar.
Step 3. Check the new channel
Back on the Calendar, the new channel shows in the channel list on the left, with a small Reddit badge on its picture. A message at the bottom says it is connected. You can now pick it in the post editor.
Step 4. Set your preferences
Press the 3 dots next to the channel to open its menu. From here you can set Preferences (default settings for every new post on this channel, like Subreddit, Post title, Post type), edit time slots, move the channel to a customer, reconnect, turn it off or delete it.
Common errors and how to fix them
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Reddit shows "invalid redirect" | The server app is set up with a different address. Ask the server admin to check Admin, Networks. |
| A post is removed right after it goes live | This is the subreddit rules or its spam filter, not the connection. Check the subreddit rules and your karma. |
| "You cancelled the sign-in, or did not allow access" | You pressed Cancel or closed the Reddit screen. Press Try again and choose Allow. |
| "Reddit did not give Postozo every permission it needs" | A permission was turned off on the Reddit screen. The message names it. Press Try again and leave everything turned on. |
| "This sign-in link has expired" | Sign-in links last 1 hour. Start again from Add Channel. |
| "Your plan allows N channels" | You reached the channel limit of your plan. Remove a channel you do not use, or upgrade in Billing. |
How to reconnect
A sign-in can stop working, for example when you change your Reddit password, remove the app on Reddit, or lose access to a account. Postozo then marks the channel with a warning, pauses its posts, and tells you by notification and email.
- Press the 3 dots next to the channel.
- Press Reconnect channel.
- Sign in on Reddit again with the same account.
- You are back on the Calendar and the warning is gone.
Reconnect keeps the channel, its posts, time slots and preferences. If you sign in with a different account, Postozo stops and tells you, so posts never go to the wrong account.
How to disconnect Reddit
Press the 3 dots next to the channel, then Delete. Postozo removes the channel and deletes its stored sign-in right away. Upcoming and draft posts for that channel are removed too. Posts that are already live stay on Reddit. You need the admin or owner role in your workspace to delete a channel.
To also remove Postozo from your Reddit account, open the connected apps settings on Reddit and remove it there. See Reddit help: what is karma.
Want to pause instead? Choose Disable Channel in the same menu. Its posts wait until you turn it back on.
What you can post on Reddit
Needs a subreddit and a title (max 300). Post type Text, Link or Image. Many subreddits require flair: run the "flairs" tool first. Follow-up comments are posted as comments.

Questions
Where do I pick the subreddit?
In the post editor, in the Reddit settings of each post, with a title and flair.
Can I add a first comment?
Yes. Follow-up comments are posted as comments under your post.
Does connecting Reddit cost extra?
No. There is no extra charge per network. Each connected account counts as 1 channel toward the channel limit of your plan.
What if the Reddit tile says Coming soon on this server?
The server you use has no Reddit app keys yet. The server admin adds them in Admin, Networks.
