I am building a Reddit lead-gen scraper from scratch

I am a content marketer for a B2B SaaS company. A part of my job is to find Reddit threads where our product could help, but I was struggling to do this manually.

Like, there are hundreds of communities, and each doesn't necessarily have conversion intent.

So last month I decided to automate this. Here's what I have done so far:

  • Gumloop for flow building, it's mostly no code, so easy to create
  • Claude API to score threads for relevance and read intent (not just keyword matches)
  • Google Sheets as the log, so I'm not re-checking the same threads
  • Slack to surface the queries 

Still experimenting, as right now it only triggers manually, and I'm working on getting it to generate a fresh query every run instead of reusing the same search terms.

Would love to hear what I could be doing better.
