How to Schedule Automated Reddit Monitoring with Claude and Linkeddit

What scheduled tasks do

A scheduled task is a prompt that Claude runs automatically on a cadence you choose: hourly, daily, weekly, or on weekdays. Each run creates a Cowork session with the results, so you can review them whenever you are ready.

Because Linkeddit is connected as a tool, Claude can search Reddit, query your leads database, pull user profiles, and generate insights as part of any scheduled task.

How to create a scheduled task

Open Cowork in Claude Desktop and type /schedule. Describe what you want Claude to do and how often. For example: Every morning at 9am, search r/SaaS and r/entrepreneur for posts about CRM tools and summarize the most promising leads. Claude sets up the schedule and confirms.

You can also create tasks from the Scheduled page in the left sidebar. Click New task, fill in the name, prompt, and frequency, and save.

Morning lead briefing

Run every weekday at 9am. Ask Claude to search your target subreddits for posts from the last 24 hours where someone is asking for recommendations or describing a problem your product solves. Claude summarizes the top leads with links so you can jump into the conversation.

Weekly competitor watch

Run every Monday. Ask Claude to find all Reddit mentions of your competitor from the past week and categorize them as positive, negative, or asking for alternatives. This gives you a weekly snapshot of how your competitor is perceived and where opportunities are opening up.

Hourly buying intent check

Run every hour during business hours. Ask Claude to check specific subreddits for new posts where someone is actively looking for a solution. Claude only alerts you when there are high-intent posts worth responding to, so you are not buried in noise.

Friday lead review

Run every Friday. Ask Claude to look through your new leads from the week, pull their Reddit profiles and AI insights, and rank the top 10 by contactability score with a suggested outreach approach for each. Start your week with a ready-made outreach list.

Weekly trend report

Run every Monday. Ask Claude to analyze the top posts from your target subreddits and identify recurring themes, emerging pain points, and viral discussions. Claude writes a short summary you can share with your team to stay on top of what your market is talking about.

Daily new lead research

Run daily. Ask Claude to check your leads database for anyone added today, research their Reddit activity, and write a brief dossier on each: what they care about, their expertise level, and the best way to reach them.

Things to know

Scheduled tasks run while Claude Desktop is open on your computer. If your computer is asleep when a task is due, Claude runs it when you come back. You can pause, edit, or delete any scheduled task from the Scheduled page. Results are saved in Cowork so you can review them anytime.
