--- name: sales-tydal description: "Tydal platform help — AI-powered Reddit lead generation with auto-posting, AI comment drafts, 50+ viral post templates, intent scoring, subreddit targeting. Use when Tydal isn't finding relevant Reddit threads for your product, auto-replies are getting flagged or removed by moderators, you want to optimize subreddit targeting but are limited to 5 subreddits, the 48-hour scan interval is missing time-sensitive conversations, you're comparing Tydal vs Leadlee vs Reppit vs Leado for Reddit lead gen, or you need help deciding whether auto-posting is safe for your Reddit account. Do NOT use for social listening strategy across tools (use /sales-social-listening) or Reddit marketing with managed accounts (use /sales-replyagent or /sales-leadmore)." argument-hint: "[describe what you need help with in Tydal — e.g., 'auto-replies keep getting removed' or 'not finding the right subreddits']" license: MIT version: 1.0.0 tags: [sales, social-listening, platform] --- # Tydal Platform Help ## Step 1 — Gather context If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge. Ask the user: 1. **What do you need help with?** - A) Lead quality — threads found aren't relevant to my product - B) Auto-reply safety — posts getting flagged, removed, or account at risk - C) Subreddit targeting — limited to 5, not sure which ones to pick - D) Reply quality — AI drafts sound generic or promotional - E) Setup — just getting started with Tydal - F) Comparing Tydal to other Reddit lead gen tools - G) Something else — describe it 2. **Current setup?** - A) Just signed up / configuring - B) Running but too much noise - C) Running but auto-replies underperforming - D) Evaluating vs other tools **If the user's request already provides enough context, skip to Step 2.** ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly - Social listening strategy or tool comparison → `/sales-social-listening [question]` - Reddit lead gen with managed accounts → `/sales-replyagent [question]` or `/sales-leadmore [question]` - Reddit monitoring with API/webhooks → `/sales-redship [question]` or `/sales-octolens [question]` - Reddit thread analysis for market research → `/sales-reddily [question]` - AI search visibility via Reddit → `/sales-reddgrow [question]` - Manual-only Reddit lead gen (safer) → `/sales-reppit [question]` or `/sales-leado [question]` Otherwise, answer directly from the platform reference below. ## Step 3 — Tydal platform reference **Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, auto-posting mechanics, subreddit targeting, viral templates. Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference. ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance 1. **Improve lead quality** — use specific pain-point keywords, not broad terms; prioritize subreddits where people ask for solutions, not general discussion subs 2. **Auto-reply safety** — Tydal auto-posts on your behalf, which carries real ban risk; monitor daily for removals and mod warnings; consider switching to manual posting tools if your account is flagged 3. **Subreddit selection** — with only 5 slots, pick high-intent communities; rotate low-performers weekly 4. **Reply quality** — review AI drafts even if auto-posted; adjust brand voice settings to reduce promotional tone 5. **48-hour scan gap** — Tydal scans every 48 hours, so time-sensitive buying conversations may be missed; consider pairing with a real-time monitor like F5Bot or Syften If you discover a tip not in `references/learnings.md`, append it there. ## Gotchas *Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.* - **Auto-posting carries real ban risk.** Tydal auto-posts replies to Reddit, which violates many subreddits' rules on bot-generated content. Monitor for removals daily. Manual-posting tools (Reppit, Leado) are safer. - **Only 5 subreddits.** You can only target 5 subreddits at a time. Choose carefully and rotate based on performance. - **48-hour scan interval.** Scans run every 48 hours, not real-time. Time-sensitive buying conversations will be missed. Not suitable if freshness matters. - **No API, no webhooks, no MCP server.** Tydal is dashboard-only. No programmatic access to leads or data. - **No Zapier/Make integration.** Cannot trigger automations from discovered leads. Manual export only. - **No CRM export.** No bulk-export of discovered leads. Manual copy-paste required. ## Related skills - `/sales-social-listening` — Social listening strategy — tool comparison, monitoring setup, competitive intelligence - `/sales-reppit` — Reddit lead gen with AI keyword discovery, intent scoring, manual posting (safer), ~$25-29/mo - `/sales-leado` — Reddit lead gen with Karma Builder, Viral Template Library, $0-29.99/mo - `/sales-leadlee` — Cheapest Reddit lead gen with AI replies ($12/mo), quality scoring - `/sales-subredditsignals` — Reddit lead gen with 7-dimension buyer intent classification, voice training - `/sales-redreach` — AI Reddit lead gen with keyword auto-discovery, Google-ranking posts, webhooks - `/sales-do` — Not sure which skill to use?

Some posts are even getting me temp-banned." **Skill does**: 1. Reads platform-guide.md for auto-posting risks and safety 2. Explains that auto-posting triggers mod scrutiny, especially in strict communities 3. Recommends reviewing which subreddits have strict self-promotion rules and removing them from targeting 4. Suggests considering manual-posting alternatives like Reppit or Leado for high-value subreddits **Result**: Reduced removal rate through better subreddit selection and awareness of auto-posting risks ### Example 2: Getting leads into a CRM **User says**: "How do I sync Tydal leads to my HubSpot?" **Skill does**: 1. Reads platform-guide.md integration section 2. Explains no API, webhooks, or Zapier exist — dashboard is the only interface 3. Suggests manual workflow: review leads daily, batch-enter thread URLs into CRM 4. For automation needs, recommends evaluating RedShip or Buska which have API/webhook access **Result**: Manual workaround established, API-capable alternatives flagged ### Example 3: Only 5 subreddits — which ones to pick **User says**: "I can only monitor 5 subreddits. How do I choose the best ones for my SaaS product?" **Skill does**: 1. Reads platform-guide.md subreddit targeting section 2. Recommends starting with the top 5 subreddits by buying-intent density, not subscriber count 3. Suggests testing for 1-2 weeks, then rotating the lowest-performing subreddit 4. Notes that if 5 isn't enough, tools like ForumScout or Buska offer unlimited monitoring **Result**: Data-driven subreddit rotation strategy within Tydal's 5-slot limit ## Troubleshooting ### Auto-posted replies sound robotic and get downvoted **Symptom**: Tydal's auto-replies read like sales pitches and accumulate downvotes or removals **Cause**: AI optimizes for product mention rather than community value; auto-posting removes the human editing step **Solution**: Review auto-posted replies daily in the dashboard. If quality is consistently poor, consider disabling auto-post and using Tydal for lead discovery only, posting manually. Adjust brand voice settings to be more conversational. For subreddits with strict rules, switch to manual-only tools. ### 48-hour scan missing time-sensitive threads **Symptom**: By the time Tydal surfaces a buying conversation, the thread is already 2 days old and the poster has moved on **Cause**: Tydal scans every 48 hours, not in real-time **Solution**: Pair Tydal with a real-time monitoring tool like F5Bot (free) or Syften ($7/mo) for immediate alerts on high-priority keywords. Use Tydal for batch lead discovery and the real-time tool for time-sensitive conversations. ### Low lead volume despite broad keywords **Symptom**: Few leads surfaced even with keywords that should match many Reddit conversations **Cause**: 5-subreddit limit restricts coverage; scan frequency reduces total posts analyzed **Solution**: Verify your 5 subreddits are active communities with daily posts, not low-traffic niche subs. Ensure keywords match the exact phrases Redditors use, not marketing jargon. If volume is still too low, evaluate tools with unlimited subreddit monitoring like Buska or ForumScout.
