Deploy this event source
Connect the user's Reddit account, configure the source, and choose the webhook where your backend receives events.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const deployed = await pd.triggers.deploy({
id: "reddit-new-comments-on-a-post",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
reddit: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
timer: { "intervalSeconds": 900 },
subreddit: "Subreddit",
},
webhookUrl: "https://example.com/webhooks/reddit",

}'MCP servers expose Reddit actions as on-demand tools.
New comments on a post is an event source, so your application deploys it
with the Connect SDK or API and then either receives each event at a
webhook URL or retrieves events on demand with the trigger events API.MCP exposes on-demand actions. Event sources are deployed through the Connect SDK or API because they continue listening after the initial request.
SCHEMA
Configuration
These inputs define which events the source watches. Dynamic options are loaded from the connected account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
timer Polling schedule | $.interface.timer | Pipedream polls Reddit for events on this schedule. Required |
subreddit Subreddit | string | The subreddit you'd like to watch. Required Dynamic |
subredditPost Post | string | Select a subreddit post or enter a custom expression to reference a specific Post ID in base36 (for example, 15bfi0). Required Dynamic |
numberOfParents numberOfParents | integer | When set to 0, the emitted events will only contain the new comment. Otherwise, the events will also contain the parents of the new comment up to the number indicated in this property. Optional |
depth Depth | integer | If set to 1, it will include, in the emitted event, only new comments that are direct children to the subreddit pointed by "subredditPost". Furthermore, "depth" determines the maximum depth of children, within the related subreddit comment tree, of new comments to be included in said emitted event. Optional |
includeSubredditDetails Include subreddit details? | boolean | If set to true, subreddit details will be expanded/included. Optional |
LIFECYCLE
Event delivery
01
Connect
Your user authorizes Reddit through Pipedream managed auth.
02
Deploy
Your backend deploys this source with that user's own configuration.
03
Webhook delivery
Every event is sent to the HTTP endpoint you choose when you deploy the source — after each poll.
OR
On-demand retrieval
No webhook required. Your app or agent can fetch recent events from the trigger events API.
