Send Reddit Buyer-Intent Leads to Slack
Slack alerts work when they carry enough context to make a decision, not when they dump raw Reddit links into a channel.

Alert format
A Slack alert should include title, subreddit, source URL, signal type, score, urgency, matched phrase, short summary, and recommended action.
The alert should answer "why this matters" before asking a teammate to open Reddit.
Channel design
Separate high-priority leads from research signals. One channel can handle urgent reviewed leads, while another can collect lower-priority market insight.
If every keyword match lands in the same channel, Slack becomes another noisy inbox.
Priority levels
Use score, urgency, thread freshness, reply risk, and account fit to decide which posts deserve alerts.
High-priority alerts should be rare enough that sales trusts them.
Review workflow and owner routing
The Slack message should lead to a review action: assign owner, draft reply, archive, or send to CRM.
Founder, sales, support, and customer success owners should each receive only the leads they can actually handle.
Example Slack alert
A useful alert should say: “High-intent alternative request in r/sales. Pain: prospecting data quality. Current tool: Apollo. Recommended action: review public reply. Owner: sales.”
That format gives the team enough context to act without turning Slack into a stream of raw Reddit URLs.
Mistakes to avoid
Avoid alerting every mention, skipping summaries, ignoring disqualification reasons, and sending old threads as if they were fresh.
Slack is best as a notification layer, not the database of record for Reddit pipeline.
