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 any Miro automation you can describe
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.

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
- 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.
- Give the app the scopes it needs:
boards:readfor alerts, digests and backups, plusboards:writeif an automation should change boards. - Choose Install app and get OAuth token, pick your team, install and authorize, then copy the token.
- 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.
