Setup

1. In your RudderStack dashboard, go to Directory > Destinations > Cloud Destinations and search for Reddit.
2. Connect your source and click Continue.

Connection settings

Configure the following settings to set up Reddit as a destination in RudderStack:

• Name: Assign a name to uniquely identify the destination.
• Under Account Settings, click Create Account > Connect with Reddit. Give RudderStack the necessary permissions to access your Reddit account.
• Account ID: Enter the Pixel ID of your Reddit Ads account that the conversion events belong to.
• Hash Data: This setting is turned on by default. RudderStack hash encrypts the event properties (for example, email, userId, ip, etc.) before sending them to Reddit.

If you are already hashing this data before sending it to RudderStack, make sure to turn off this setting.

Configuration settings

After completing the initial setup, configure the following settings to correctly receive your data in Reddit:

• Consent management settings: Configure the consent management settings for the specified source by choosing the Consent management provider from the dropdown and entering the relevant consent category IDs. See Consent Management in RudderStack for more information on this feature.

Event mapping settings

• RudderStack to Reddit event mappings: Click Set up mapping to map your RudderStack events to specific Reddit events. You can also use the JSON mapper to set these mappings.

Track

You can use the track call to record and send conversion events along with any associated properties to Reddit for processing.
