Publish AI posts to your Page with an email record

Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Tuesday and Thursday at 10, take the next topic from my list, write and publish a Facebook post about it, and email me the post text and link.

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

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

An accountancy practice knows its Facebook Page should share useful tips, but nobody in the office wants to write posts. When they do get written, nobody is sure what was posted last month.

Twice a week the next topic becomes a published post, and an email confirms exactly what went out with a link. The inbox doubles as a record of everything posted.

What you get out of it

Posts go out without anyone writing them
Your list of topics turns into a steady schedule.
A record in your inbox
Every post is confirmed by email, searchable later.
Catch mistakes quickly
The email lets you check each post and fix it from the link.
Consistent voice
Every post follows the tone you describe once.

How it works

What happens, step by step

On your chosen days, ClickRuntime takes the next topic from your list.
AI writes a Facebook post about it.
The post is published on your Facebook Page and the topic is crossed off.
You get an email from your Gmail with the post text and a link.

Before it runs live

Connect Facebook Pages
Connect Google through your own Google app (a one-time, 10-minute setup), so it works with your own Gmail

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

Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
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 Facebook Pages and Gmail 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

How do I add topics?

List them in the prompt or ask your AI assistant to add more to the list.

Can I approve posts first?

Yes. Ask for the email-approval version, where nothing is posted until you click approve.

What if the list is empty?

Nothing is posted and the email asks you for more topics.

What permissions does it need?

pages_manage_posts; gmail.send. 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 runs (daily). Checks that find nothing to do 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.
