# How to connect Reddit Ads to OpenClaw (no API keys) > Connect Reddit Ads to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — 83 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/reddit-ads The usual route to Reddit Ads access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Reddit Ads setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Reddit Ads in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Reddit Ads actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. **Start here:** install the ClawLink plugin (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`), pair it in the browser, then connect the app in the ClawLink dashboard. The interactive install prompt is on the web version of this page: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/reddit-ads ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Reddit Ads. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Reddit Ads** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect reddit-ads # connect Reddit Ads (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions reddit-ads # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run reddit-ads --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Reddit Ads in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Create it in Reddit Ads for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Reddit Ads is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 83 Reddit Ads tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Reddit Ads to OpenClaw and exposes 83 Reddit Ads tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself.

That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Reddit Ads working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Reddit Ads app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Reddit Ads through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Reddit Ads. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Reddit Ads actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 83 tools for Reddit Ads are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Reddit Ads to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Reddit Ads in the browser, and the 83 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

Make sure Reddit Ads is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Reddit Ads from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Reddit Ads tools Reddit Ads tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Reddit Ads call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Reddit Ads returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing Try reconnecting Reddit Ads and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a OpenClaw Reddit Ads integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Reddit Ads: link your Reddit Ads account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Reddit Ads API through 83 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Reddit Ads to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Reddit Ads skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Reddit Ads. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage. ### How long does it take to connect Reddit Ads to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Reddit Ads in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Reddit Ads up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Reddit Ads working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Reddit Ads skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Reddit Ads, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
