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.

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

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

  1. Every 30 minutes, ClickRuntime reads your Pages sheet and finds rows marked ready.

  2. For each row, it fetches the matching item from your Webflow collection and reads its content.

  3. AI writes five questions and answers based only on that content.

  4. 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.

Before it runs live

  • Connect your Google Sheets account and pick the spreadsheets it may use
  • Connect Webflow

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. 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.

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

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it publish the changes?
No. The FAQ field is updated on the CMS item, which shows as a staged change in Webflow. You publish the site when you are happy with it.
What format are the FAQs in?
Rich text with each question as a heading and the answer as a paragraph, ready for a rich text field. It can also write plain question and answer pairs for separate fields.
What if a page has very little content?
AI is told to only write questions the page can answer. Thin pages get fewer FAQs, and the row notes it so you can add content first.
What permissions does it need?
Sheets read+write; Webflow cms:read/write. Nothing else in your accounts is used.
Does it need AI?
Yes. It uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI, so you don't need an OpenAI or Anthropic key. Every plan includes a monthly AI allowance.
How many runs does it use?
One run each time it checks. Checks that find nothing new and stop right away aren't counted.
Can I change how it works?
Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
