Reddit - How to create Zap that alerts based off search terms only within specific subreddits

I think I have this set up using a filter, but when I look at my test it seems like the Zap is only looking at a specific subreddit, rather than a set of them that I have specified. 

 

What I want is an alert that:

  1. Looks across reddit for all my search terms
  2. Alerts me them ONLY IF they fall into subreddits that contain a different set of relevant terms

Running into a problem with portion 2.

Hi @Broomfield 

Good question.

Reddit help article about searching: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/19696541895316-Available-search-features#h_01HBS25GVN59BBF1TMQCRZT3GA

Thanks! I don’t think that’s exactly what I’m looking for. In Zapier, I want to setup my alert like this:

 

Search terms A, B, C

that show up in subreddits D, E, F

 

Right now I think I’m being limited to only searching within one subreddit (i.e. “D”) instead of across a specified group.
