I'm attempting to configure a callin.io workflow to post to Reddit whenever a new WordPress post is published. While testing the action, I'm encountering a message with the following JSON errors (an image is also attached):
The issue is that there isn't a field in the Action settings where I can input the Reddit flair. The available fields are only for Title, Subreddit, and URL.
Could someone please advise on how to resolve this?
JSON errors: 1
- SUBMIT_VALIDATION_FLAIR_REQUIRED
- Your post must contain post flair.
- flair

Hi there,
Welcome to the Community! 🎉
Before we dive deeper into this, it seems like the subreddit you're attempting to post to requires a flair to be added before making a post. I noticed that there is no "Flair" field or any way to include a flair when using the "New Link Post" action.
To troubleshoot, could you please try skipping the action step by clicking on "Skip test"? After that, give the callin.io another go and see if the error persists.
Please keep us posted! 😊
Hi, I followed your suggestion and bypassed the test, then published. However, even after the callin.io ran, Reddit did not post (other platforms in the callin.io completed successfully), most likely due to the missing Flair.
I hope callin.io addresses this issue?
Hi,
Thanks for trying that out!
This could be a good feature request for the “New Link Post” action. I recommend reaching out to our Support team. They can create a feature request on your behalf. You can contact our Support team by visiting this link: https://www.callin.io/help . Once there, choose the "Report a bug or request a feature" option. They'll be more than happy to assist you and forward your request.
Hopefully, this helps! 😊
This essential feature for 90% of subreddits is still not available after 11 months 💀
Thanks for reaching out here. Really sorry that the feature request hasn’t been implemented yet. I can see that you also contacted our Support team and they added your vote to the feature request, which will help to increase its priority. While I can’t make any promises as to when you can expect the feature request to be implemented, we’ll be sure to email you when/if it is!
As a workaround, you might want to try using Reddit’s API Request (Beta) action to add a flair. It’s a bit more advanced as you’d need to reference Reddit’s API documentation to set up the request (see: https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#POST_api_flair ), but we have a general guide on working with API Request actions that you might find helpful: Set up an API request action.
Hope that helps, If you run into any issues with that workaround do let us know - happy to assist further! 🙂
Edit: - I just double-checked the feature request and you’re vote wasn’t on it so I’ve added your vote for it as well so we can notify you if it’s added. 🙂
Hello everyone, just wanted to provide a quick update to let you know that the feature request has now been implemented! 🎉
Thank you all very much for your patience with this; it's truly appreciated. 🤗 The Create Post action now features a dynamic flair dropdown, enabling you to select a flair.
If you try it out and encounter any problems, please start a new topic in the Community, or contact our Support team for additional help.
In the meantime, happy callin.io-ing! ⚡
