Automate Any API

Anything with an HTTP API can be part of an automation, including internal tools and your own backend. Save the key in the ClickRuntime dashboard, describe what to do, and the automation calls the API on a schedule or when an event arrives.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: give me a link my contact form can send to. For each new lead, send them a short welcome email from my Gmail and email me their name, email and message.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Any API, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Any API automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Any API should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every 15 minutes, call our internal /orders API, and when an order has been in Pending for more than 2 hours, post it to #ops in Slack.

When our billing system sends a webhook for a failed payment, look up the customer in HubSpot and email their account owner.

Every night, pull yesterday's usage numbers from our analytics API and add a row per customer to my Google Sheet.

Setup

Connect Any API

Save the API key or token as a secret in the ClickRuntime dashboard. Scripts read it at run time and it never appears in the chat. Services that send webhooks can post to the automation's trigger link.

Any API

Developer

  1. Create an API key or token in the service you want to use.
  2. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save it as a secret on Connections & secrets.
  3. Tell your assistant the service and the secret's name. For webhooks, paste the automation's trigger link into the service's webhook settings.

FAQ

Questions about automating Any API

Does it work with our internal API?
Yes, if it can be reached over HTTPS from the internet. Save its key as a secret and describe the endpoints to your assistant.
Can it receive webhooks?
Yes. Every event-based automation gets a trigger link. Any service that can send a webhook can call it, and the automation runs once for each event.
Can it check webhook signatures?
Yes. Save the signing secret and ask your assistant to verify each request, so only real events run.
What about APIs that page their results?
The script follows the pages and keeps track of what it already processed, so large lists are handled across runs.
