# Onboarding

Before we begin setting up your Reddit channel, please ensure you have an active Reddit Ads account. If you don't have one yet, you can [set one up here](https://business.reddithelp.com/s/article/Create-and-manage-your-Reddit-Ads-account). If your business already has an ad account but your Reddit login doesn't have access to it, you can [ask the account manager to invite you](https://business.reddithelp.com/s/article/Create-and-manage-your-Reddit-Ads-account#:~:text=you%20haven%E2%80%99t%20already.-,Join%20a%20business,-Note%3A%C2%A0Don%E2%80%99t).

### Acquiring the Pixel ID

Once you have access to your Ads account, you can open the [Accounts page](https://ads.reddit.com/accounts) to select the ad account you'd like to set up.

### Setting up the Reddit channel

Once you have the Pixel ID, you can add the channel to your tag. First, you'll need to authorize Reddit via OAuth by clicking the **Authenticate** button.

This should redirect you to Reddit's OAuth page, where you can confirm the authorization. Click **"Allow"** to complete the OAuth process and return to EdgeTag.

You can now enter the Pixel ID into the form and press **Save & Deploy** to finish the setup.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.edgetag.io/channels/reddit/onboarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
