# Reddit Ads

Inspect Reddit Ads from chat — campaigns, ad groups, creatives, and reporting data via the Reddit Ads API.

This skill uses [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev/?utm_source=clawhub&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=reddit-ads-campaigns) for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Reddit Ads API access yourself.

### Setup in 3 Steps

## How It Works

```
┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐
│ OpenClaw │────▶│ ClawLink │────▶│ Reddit Ads │
│ (User Chat) │ │ (OAuth) │ │ (Ads API) │
└─────────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────────────┘
│ │ │
│ 1. Install Plugin │ │
│ 2. Pair Device │ │
│ 3. Connect Reddit │ │
│ │ 4. Secure Token │
│ │ 5. Proxy Requests │

```

## Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

```bash
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
```

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send `/new` as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Reddit Ads again."

## Quick Start

```bash
# List campaigns
clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads

# Inspect campaign structure
clawlink_call_tool --tool "redditads_list_campaigns" --params '{}'
```

## Authentication

All Reddit Ads tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Reddit account.

**No API key is required in chat.** ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Reddit Ads API request on the user's behalf.

### Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with `clawlink_begin_pairing` if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads and connect Reddit Ads.
4. Call `clawlink_list_integrations` to verify the connection is active.

## Connection Management

### List Connections

```bash
clawlink_list_integrations
```

**Response:** Returns all connected integrations. Look for `reddit-ads` in the list.

### Verify Connection

```bash
clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads
```

**Response:** Returns the live tool catalog for Reddit Ads.

### Reconnect

If Reddit Ads tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads
2. After they confirm, call `clawlink_list_integrations` to verify
3. Then call `clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads`

## Security & Permissions

- Access is scoped to the Reddit Ads account accessible via the connected OAuth app.
- **All write operations require explicit user confirmation.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
- Destructive actions (pause campaign, delete ad group) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
- Confirm before launching, pausing, or editing live ads — changes affect real campaign spend.

## Discovery Workflow

1. Call `clawlink_list_integrations` to confirm Reddit Ads is connected.
2. Call `clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads` to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call `clawlink_search_tools` with a short query and integration `reddit-ads`.
5. If no Reddit Ads tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads.

## Execution Workflow

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ READ OPERATIONS (Safe) │
│ list → get → describe → call │
│ │
│ Example: List campaigns → Inspect structure → Show results │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation) │
│ list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call │
│ │
│ Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves │
│ → Execute update │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call `clawlink_describe_tool` first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, `whenToUse`, `askBefore`, `safeDefaults`, `examples`, and `followups` to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call `clawlink_preview_tool` first.
5. Execute with `clawlink_call_tool`. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

## Notes

- Reddit Ads API requires an approved Reddit Ads account — self-serve accounts need sufficient spend history.
- This is a hybrid skill — tool availability depends on the specific Reddit Ads API scopes granted during connection.
- Campaign changes affect live spend — always confirm before editing active campaigns.

## Error Handling

| Status / Error | Meaning |
|----------------|---------|
| Tool not found | The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with `clawlink_list_tools --integration reddit-ads`. |
| Missing connection | Reddit Ads is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=reddit-ads. |
| `AD_ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND` | The connected account does not have an active Reddit Ads account. |
| Write rejected | User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes. |

### Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:
```bash
openclaw plugins list
```
2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send `/new` as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:
```bash
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
```
4. After restart, tell the user to send `/new` again and retry.

### Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly `reddit-ads`.
2. Use `clawlink_describe_tool` to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call `clawlink_preview_tool` first.
