Product Hunt
Social MediaTrack Product Hunt launches from FlowRunner. Agents fetch daily featured posts ordered by votes or rank, read launch comments, browse curated collections and topics, and run custom GraphQL queries against the v2 API for anything else.
What This Integration Enables
Product Hunt is where new software announces itself, which makes it two things at once: a discovery feed and the most current competitive dataset in tech. This connector reads both. FlowRunner agents fetch launches ordered by ranking, votes, featured date, or recency, filter them by topic slug, pull full post detail including makers and media, read the comment threads where the community says what it actually thinks, and browse the collections and topics that map the territory. A GraphQL escape hatch reaches anything the dedicated actions do not cover. The position: most teams treat Product Hunt as a launch-day event. The durable value is in watching it continuously, because category trends, competitor moves, and buyer language all surface there first, and an agent can watch every day without getting bored. - Run daily discovery sweeps on the topics that matter to your product - Mine launch comments for positioning signals and objection patterns - Track competitor launches with vote counts and reception attached - Build a longitudinal category dataset that compounds in value The topic and collection layer deserves its own mention. Get Topics exposes follower and post counts per category, which is a free proxy for where builder and buyer attention is concentrating, and Get Collections shows how curators are grouping the space. Watching those numbers move quarter over quarter tells you when a category is heating up before the launch volume makes it obvious.

Use Case Scenarios
The daily launch digest for the team
Each morning, Get Posts pulls the top-ranked launches for the artificial-intelligence and developer-tools topics. The agent formats name, tagline, votes, and URL into a digest and posts it to the team channel in [Slack](/integrations/slack). Fifteen seconds of scrolling replaces fifteen minutes of browsing, and the whole team shares one view of what launched instead of five partial ones. When something in the digest warrants a deeper look, the thread already carries the slug that Get Post and Get Post Comments need, so the follow-up is one message away.
Launch-day monitoring for your own product
On launch day, the agent polls Get Post by your product's slug through the day, logging vote and comment counts to [Google Sheets](/integrations/google-sheets) at each interval. Get Post Comments streams new questions into the war-room channel as they arrive, so makers answer in minutes rather than discovering a stalled thread at 4 p.m. The team runs the launch from one channel with live numbers instead of refreshing the page.
The competitor dossier that writes itself
When a competitor launches, the agent detects it in the topic sweep, pulls the full post with Get Post, and captures the entire comment thread with Get Post Comments once the discussion settles. Tagline, positioning claims, top comments, and vote trajectory land in the competitive tracker. Six months later, when sales asks how that competitor pitched themselves and what the market pushed back on, the answer is a document with dates and vote counts, not a teammate's fading memory of a launch day.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
Run GraphQL is the one door in this connector that opens outward. Every dedicated action here reads, but the escape hatch accepts mutations, and a mutation executes as the authenticated account from Get Viewer: a comment posted, a vote cast, an interaction made in public, under your name, in a community that reads authenticity like a credit score. A founder's account leaving an agent-written comment on a competitor's launch thread is not a bug you fix; it is a screenshot you live with. So FlowRunner treats the escape hatch asymmetrically: queries run freely as part of any sweep, but any payload containing a mutation stops and renders for human review, showing exactly what would be posted and as whom, before it executes. The reading never needs a person. Speaking in public always gets one.
Agent Capabilities
7 actionsPosts
3- Get Posts Lists launches with cursor-based pagination, ordered by featured date, votes, ranking, or newest, optionally filtered to a topic by slug. Returns name, tagline, slug, URL, vote and comment counts, and topics.
- Get Post Retrieves a single post by numeric ID or slug, returning name, tagline, description, URL, counts, featured date, media, makers, and topics. The deep-dive step on any launch worth attention.
- Get Post Comments Retrieves a post's comments with body, creation time, vote count, and author, cursor-paginated. The richest source of unfiltered market reaction this connector offers.
Collections
1- Get Collections Lists curated collections with name, tagline, follower count, and creator, cursor-paginated. Used to find themed product groupings worth monitoring.
Topics
1- Get Topics Lists topics with name, slug, description, and follower and post counts, cursor-paginated. Topic slugs feed the filter on Get Posts.
Account
1- Get Viewer Returns the authenticated user behind the developer token: ID, name, username, headline, profile URL, and avatar. The token check, and the identity every mutation would act as.
Advanced
1- Run GraphQL Sends any raw GraphQL query or mutation to the v2 API with optional variables, returning the raw data object. Queries flow freely; mutations pass this page's human gate.
