Automate Drip

Drip holds your store's subscribers, tags and email results. Automations keep an eye on that list: who just joined, who unsubscribed, which emails bounced or drew a spam complaint, and who on your team needs to hear about it. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: whenever a Drip email gets a spam complaint or a bounce, post the subscriber's email to #email-ops in Slack.

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

Ideas

What you can automate in Drip

Instant notices about list health and new sign-ups, plus an evening round-up of the people who left. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
The moment it happens

Get alerted to Drip spam complaints and bounces

The moment someone marks a Drip email as spam or it bounces, the subscriber shows up in Slack.

Build your own

Build any Drip automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Drip 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 week, find Drip subscribers with a lead score over 80 who are not customers and send me the list.

When a Stripe payment succeeds, tag the subscriber in Drip as customer.

When a WooCommerce order is placed, update the person in Drip, add them to Airtable and post the order in Slack.

Beyond chat

Have Drip work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Drip to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Drip

You connect Drip with the personal API token from your own Drip user settings, plus the ID of the account it should work in.

Drip

Ecommerce email

  1. In Drip, open User Settings and copy the API Token shown at the bottom of the page.
  2. Open Settings, then General, and note your account ID.
  3. If you can't find an API token, ask Drip support to turn on API access for your account.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the token and account ID as secrets for Drip.

Good to know

Drip limits that affect automations

  • The token belongs to your Drip user, so automations can reach the accounts that user can open.
  • Each request is tied to one account ID, so if you have several Drip accounts, tell your assistant which one to use.
  • Drip can send events such as new subscribers, unsubscribes, bounces and spam complaints as they happen, so these alerts don't wait for a schedule.
  • Some Drip accounts don't have API access until support turns it on.

FAQ

Questions about automating Drip

What can ClickRuntime see in Drip?
What your API token can reach in the account you chose: subscribers with their emails and tags, and events like sign-ups, unsubscribes, bounces and spam complaints.
Are Drip alerts real time?
Yes for subscriber events. Drip sends them to the automation as they happen, so a bounce or complaint can reach you within moments.
Can I get a summary instead of one alert per event?
Yes. An automation can collect events through the day and send one list at a time you pick, like the evening unsubscribe digest.
What happens if I reset my Drip token?
Automations using the old token stop working. Save the new token in the ClickRuntime dashboard under Connections & secrets.
Do Drip automations need AI?
Not for alerts and digests. If you want AI to summarise or sort subscribers, it uses the AI included in every ClickRuntime plan, so no AI key is needed.
Is this a Drip connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Drip data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Drip while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Drip event.
