ClickRuntime for ChatGPT

Automations that keep running after your ChatGPT conversation ends

Try it

A first automation to ask ChatGPT for

Copy the prompt, change the details to suit you, and you'll have a job running in a few minutes.

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday at 9, post last week's new signups from my Google Sheet to #growth in Slack.

  1. A draft is savedChatGPT calls ClickRuntime and saves a draft. A draft does nothing on its own.
  2. You connect what it needsSlack, Google or an API key are connected once in the ClickRuntime application. Keys never go into the chat.
  3. You stay in controlYou allow each action in your assistant's permission prompt. Before a live run it tells you what starts it and every service it will contact. Every run is logged.
  4. It runs on its ownIt keeps running on ClickRuntime's servers with ChatGPT closed, and tells you when something fails.

Your control

What you control in ChatGPT

ChatGPT can build, deploy, run, test and change an automation, and keeps fixing it until a run succeeds. You allow each action in ChatGPT's own permission prompt, and before a live run it tells you what it will send or change outside ClickRuntime. Keys are added only by you in the ClickRuntime dashboard, you can pause any automation at any time, and every run is logged.

Deleting needs one more step: in ChatGPT a confirm card appears right in the conversation.

After it's live

Checking on and changing automations from ChatGPT

No dashboard needed. Ask ChatGPT in plain words, from any conversation, and it answers from the automation's run history.
  • Check status

    Ask whether an automation ran, when it runs next and how its recent runs went. ChatGPT lists your automations with their state: live, paused or needing setup.

    Ask ChatGPT“Did my status page check run this morning?”

  • Find out why a run failed

    ChatGPT reads the run's error and log lines, explains them in plain words and proposes a fix. You also get an email when a run fails.

    Ask ChatGPT“Why did the Stripe to Slack automation fail?”

  • Change what it does

    Move the time, add a recipient or change the logic. ChatGPT applies the new version, tests it and tells you what changed. Every version is kept.

    Ask ChatGPT“Move the forecast email to 7:30 and copy my co-founder.”

  • Pause and resume

    Pausing takes effect immediately, and you can pause from the ClickRuntime dashboard too. Events sent while paused are kept.

    Ask ChatGPT“Pause the weekly report until I'm back from holiday.”

  • Run it now

    Trigger a one-off run to test a change or catch up after an outage. The schedule stays as it is, and the run counts toward your monthly runs.

    Ask ChatGPT“Run the price check now and tell me what it finds.”

  • Clean up

    Find automations you no longer need and delete them. Deleting removes the automation, its runs and its trigger link, so you confirm it first.

    Ask ChatGPT“Which of my automations haven't sent anything in a month?”

Help

ChatGPT: troubleshooting and questions

Still stuck? See troubleshooting or contact support.

Business and Enterprise workspaces
Custom MCP servers follow your workspace's policies. If you can't add one, ask an admin to allow it under Workspace settings → Permissions & roles.
Fewer approval prompts
ChatGPT asks before each ClickRuntime step and has no setting to allow them for good. When it asks, you can have it remember your choice for the rest of that chat.
ChatGPT doesn't use ClickRuntime
Start a new chat, pick ClickRuntime from the prompt box, and mention it by name in your request.
Removing it
Remove the plugin in ChatGPT, then disconnect ChatGPT under Settings → AI assistants in the ClickRuntime application to revoke its access.
ChatGPT already has scheduled tasks. Why add ClickRuntime?
ChatGPT's tasks answer inside the chat at a set time. ClickRuntime is for jobs that run code, call services with your own keys, post to Slack or email, react to a webhook, or remember things between runs, such as which items were already handled or the last value seen. Plain reminders are better left to ChatGPT.
Which ChatGPT plans can use it?
Any plan that lets you add a custom MCP server as a plugin. On Business and Enterprise, workspace admins control this under Workspace settings → Permissions & roles, so ask yours if the option is missing.
Can ChatGPT turn an automation on by itself?
ChatGPT can turn an automation on, run it, test it and apply changes, but each of those asks for your permission in ChatGPT first. Deleting one also needs a separate confirmation.
Does ClickRuntime see my ChatGPT conversations?
No. ChatGPT sends only the arguments of each tool call, such as a draft's name and script. ClickRuntime never receives the rest of the chat.
