Automate Miro

Miro boards fill up with sticky notes, cards and diagrams during retros, workshops and roadmap planning, and much of it is never looked at again. Automations post new sticky notes to your team chat, send an evening digest of what changed on a board and who changed it, warn you when a guest joins a client board, and keep a weekly text backup. Say what you want to your AI assistant, look over what it plans to do, and it stays running after you close the chat.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Sunday at 3am export the text of all sticky notes and cards on my Miro boards 'Q3 Roadmap' and 'Customer Research', one section per board, and email it to me.

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

Build your own

Build any Miro automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Miro 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 evening, check my Miro boards for sticky notes added today and send me an AI-grouped summary of the main themes.

When a new row is added to my Google Sheet of workshop ideas, add it as a sticky note on the Ideas frame of my Miro board.

After each retro, read the sticky notes on the Miro board, create Jira issues for the action items, and post the list to our Slack team channel.

Beyond chat

Have Miro work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Miro 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 Miro

Miro connects through an app you create in your own Miro team. Installing it gives you an access token, and the app can only use the board permissions you select.

Miro

Whiteboard

  1. In Miro, click your avatar, open Settings, then Your apps, and create a new app. Decide now whether to tick "Expire user authorization token", because it can't be changed later.
  2. Give the app the scopes it needs: boards:read for alerts, digests and backups, plus boards:write if an automation should change boards.
  3. Choose Install app and get OAuth token, pick your team, install and authorize, then copy the token.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the token as a secret for Miro.

Good to know

Miro limits that affect automations

  • The token only covers the team you installed the app into and the boards its user can see.
  • If you ticked token expiry when creating the app, the token will need replacing when it expires; that choice is fixed once the app exists.
  • Backups are text only, covering sticky notes, cards and other text items. Exporting images needs Miro's Enterprise e-discovery features.
  • Changes are found by checking boards on a schedule, every 15 minutes or once a day depending on the automation.

FAQ

Questions about automating Miro

Which boards can ClickRuntime see?
Boards in the team where you installed your Miro app, and only those the token's user can open. With just `boards:read` it can look but never edit.
Can it tell me who changed something on a board?
Yes. The daily digest checks each item's last-modified time and matches the editor against the board's members, so each change comes with a name.
Will the member alert flood me on the first run?
No. The first run only records who already has access. After that you hear about each new member or guest once, with their role and a link to the board.
Does the backup include images and frames?
It saves the text of items like sticky notes and cards, per board. Image content isn't included.
Is AI involved?
Not in these automations. If you'd like your retro notes grouped into themes, the AI included in every ClickRuntime plan can do it, and you don't supply your own AI key.
Is this a Miro connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Miro data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Miro 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 Miro event.
