Reddit Ads

Connect your Reddit Ads account to Frevana by creating a developer app, collecting its credentials and account ID, and authorizing access in your browser.

What You Need​

Before you start, make sure you have:

  1. A Reddit account that can access your Reddit Ads business.
  2. A Reddit Ads account in Ads Manager.
  3. Permission to create Developer Applications for that business.
  4. A website or business URL to use as the app's About URL.

Step 1: Go to your Reddit Ads Manager​

Open Reddit Ads Manager.

Sign in with the Reddit user that has access to your Reddit Ads account.

If you have more than one Reddit Ads business or ad account, select the business you want Frevana to connect to.

Step 2: Open the Business Menu​

In the top-left corner of Ads Manager, click the menu button.

If your business already has a suitable app, you can use the existing app instead. In that case, open it and copy the credentials from that app.

Avoid generic app names such as Test or Reddit Integration. Use a name that makes it clear this app belongs to your business and is used for Frevana Reddit Ads reporting.

Save or create the app.

Step 7: Send the Setup Values to Frevana​

Send Frevana these values:

Step 8: Authorize Access​

After you send the values, Frevana will open a Reddit authorization page in your browser.

On that page:

  1. Sign in with the Reddit user that has access to the Reddit Ads account.
  2. Review the requested permissions.
  3. Click Allow.

This lets Frevana verify the Reddit user and read Reddit Ads data for reporting and analysis.

  • Summarize weekly Reddit Ads performance.
  • Review whether creative and targeting fit Reddit's community-driven audience.
