Newsletter Bot commands

This bot will send you a PM whenever a subreddit gets a new post so you'll never miss out on time-sensitive cases.

Please keep this in mind: The bot will send you a PM as soon as it finds a new thread in your favorite subreddits. Due to the nature of this system, I highly discourage you from subscribing to pics, gifs, funny; anything that's going to be blowing up your inbox 24/7. This tool is more useful for small subreddits.

Demonstration

This bot is considered to be in beta. There are no promises that you will get all of your subscriptions. Data may be wiped, but I'll try to let you know if that happens.

The bot will only search subreddits for which there is an active subscription to prevent unnecessary data collection. If you are the first person to subscribe to a certain subreddit, your first PM may or may not be enormous as it collects the posts it doesn't have yet. Let me know what you think about this. I think it's good because it saves time and effort, but it might be unattractive. It's only a one-time thing, though.


Newsletterly is OpenSource.
