Reddit Ads

Inspect Reddit Ads from chat — campaigns, ad groups, creatives, and reporting data via the Reddit Ads API.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Reddit Ads API access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Reddit Ads again."

Quick Start

# List campaigns
clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads

# Inspect campaign structure
clawlink_call_tool --tool "redditads_list_campaigns" --params '{}'

Authentication

All Reddit Ads tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Reddit account.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Reddit Ads API request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads and connect Reddit Ads.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for reddit-ads in the list.

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Reddit Ads.

Reconnect

If Reddit Ads tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to the Reddit Ads account accessible via the connected OAuth app.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (pause campaign, delete ad group) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
• Confirm before launching, pausing, or editing live ads — changes affect real campaign spend.

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Reddit Ads is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration reddit-ads.
5. If no Reddit Ads tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → describe → call                               │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List campaigns → Inspect structure → Show results │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                               │
                               ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                    │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call            │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves   │
│           → Execute update                                   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• Reddit Ads API requires an approved Reddit Ads account — self-serve accounts need sufficient spend history.
• This is a hybrid skill — tool availability depends on the specific Reddit Ads API scopes granted during connection.
• Campaign changes affect live spend — always confirm before editing active campaigns.

Error Handling

| Status / Error | Meaning | |----------------|---------| | Tool not found | The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads. | | Missing connection | Reddit Ads is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads. | | AD_ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND | The connected account does not have an active Reddit Ads account. | | Write rejected | User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes. |

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly reddit-ads.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
