Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every 30 minutes, for each row in my Pages sheet marked ready, write 5 FAQs from the Webflow item's content, save them to its FAQ field and mark the row done.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
A web agency manages a Webflow site with dozens of service and location pages for a home services client. FAQ sections help visitors and tend to help those pages show up for question-style searches, but writing five good questions and answers for every page is the kind of job that sits on the backlog for months.
This automation clears that backlog in a controlled way. The team lists pages in a Google Sheet with the CMS item ID and marks a row ready. Every 30 minutes, the automation reads the page content from Webflow, AI writes five FAQs from it, they are saved into the item's FAQ field as a draft change, and the sheet row is marked done.
What you get out of it
A backlog job finally done
FAQs for dozens of pages get written in days, not months. The team's time goes into reviewing them, which is much quicker than writing.
Answers that match each page
FAQs are written from that page's own content. A plumbing page gets plumbing questions, not generic ones copied across the site.
You choose which pages and when
Only rows you mark ready are touched. You can roll it out a few pages at a time and check the results as you go.
Progress visible in the sheet
Each row shows when it was done. Clients and teammates can see what has been updated without logging in to Webflow.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every 30 minutes, ClickRuntime reads your Pages sheet and finds rows marked ready.
For each row, it fetches the matching item from your Webflow collection and reads its content.
AI writes five questions and answers based only on that content.
The FAQs are saved into the item's FAQ field in Webflow, and the row's status is changed to done so it is not handled again.

What you get
Build your own
Need it to work differently?
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.
Changes you can ask for
- Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
- Change what the AI looks for, or how it writes the result
- Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
- Combine it with other Google Sheets and Webflow steps into one automation

Common questions
Does it publish the changes?
What format are the FAQs in?
What if a page has very little content?
What permissions does it need?
Does it need AI?
How many runs does it use?
Can I change how it works?
