Automate Mistral AI

Mistral AI is mostly used here for its OCR: reading invoices, receipts and scanned pages and turning them into clean fields you can file or check. Its chat models can also write a daily digest under your own key. Say what should happen to your AI assistant, confirm the steps, and ClickRuntime runs it for you from then on.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: give me a link I can post invoice PDFs or photos to. Run Mistral OCR on each one, extract the supplier, invoice date, total, VAT and line items as JSON, and email me the result.

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

Ideas

What you can automate in Mistral AI

Invoice details read straight from a PDF or photo, and a morning summary of the feeds you follow. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.

Build your own

Build any Mistral AI automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Mistral AI 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 hour, use Mistral AI to translate new rows in my product list into French and German.

When a new Notion page is added to our docs database, have Mistral AI write a summary into a property.

When a new Zendesk ticket comes in, have Mistral AI detect language and topic, tag the ticket and post urgent ones in Slack.

Beyond chat

Have Mistral AI work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Mistral AI 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 Mistral AI

Create a key in Mistral's console (La Plateforme) and save it in ClickRuntime. The key works across every endpoint your plan includes.

Mistral AI

AI / LLM

  1. Go to console.mistral.ai and open API Keys.
  2. Choose Create new key, give it a name such as ClickRuntime, and set an expiry if you like.
  3. Copy the key straight away, because Mistral only shows it once.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, add it on Connections & secrets as a secret.

Good to know

Mistral AI limits that affect automations

  • You need either billing set up or the free Experiment plan before a key will work.
  • The Experiment plan is meant for trying things out, so move to a paid plan for automations you rely on.
  • A key belongs to one Workspace and can call every endpoint on that plan.
  • OCR is billed per page, so long scanned documents cost more than short ones.

FAQ

Questions about automating Mistral AI

Why use Mistral OCR instead of ClickRuntime's built-in AI?
The built-in AI works with text and doesn't read scanned documents. Mistral OCR turns a PDF or photo into text first, and a chat model then picks out the fields you want.
Do I need a Mistral key for ordinary summaries?
No. AI comes with every ClickRuntime plan and needs no key. Use your Mistral key when you want Mistral's own models or its OCR.
What can an automation do with my key?
Anything your plan allows in that Workspace, such as OCR, chat completions and file uploads. Create a separate key for ClickRuntime so you can revoke it on its own.
I lost my key. Can I see it again?
No, Mistral only shows a key once. Create a new one and replace the secret in Connections & secrets.
Is this a Mistral AI connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Mistral AI data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Mistral AI 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 Mistral AI event.
