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.

Examples

Example 1: Auto-replies getting removed by moderators

User says: "My Tydal auto-replies keep getting removed from subreddits. 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.
