This automation scenario allows you to connect Reddit and Google Docs
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Reddit and Google Docs can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Reddit
This Trigger fires every time you save a post on reddit.
Then this action happens in Google Docs
This action will append to a Google document as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to reddit save to drive.
Part I
First, we need to connect Reddit and Google Docs to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Reddit to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Reddit account, using Reddit credentials.
Connect Google Docs to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Google Docs account, using Google Docs credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Reddit
Choose the following trigger: New post saved by you (This Trigger fires every time you save a post on reddit.).
Then set up an Action for Google Docs
Choose this action: Append to a document (This action will append to a Google document as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Reddit and Google Docs.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will reddit save to drive!
Triggers when a new document is added (inside any folder).
Triggers when a new document is added to a specific folder (but not its subfolders).
This trigger fires when a new document is added to a Google Drive folder. Note: only works for docs created after the Applet is turned on.
Triggers when a new document is created or modified in a specific folder.
Triggered when a new folder is added.
Document is created
This Action will submit a new link on reddit. NOTE: reddit karma is required.
Submit creates a link, a post with an image or a self-post in the subreddit with the given title. If kind is "link" or "image", then url is expected to be a valid URL to link to. Otherwise, text is the body of the self-post. You can submit cca. 1 post per 9 minutes.

IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
