Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every weekday at 8am, check these RSS feeds, score each new article for relevance to SAP projects, and post the top 5 with two-line summaries to our Industry News channel in Teams.

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

Keeping up with industry news is a real task. A product manager is expected to know about a competitor's funding round, a regulator's new guidance or a supplier's price change, but the relevant articles are scattered across a dozen feeds and newsletters. People either skim headlines for twenty minutes a day or skip it altogether, and then a colleague mentions an important development in a meeting that nobody else had seen.

Every day, ClickRuntime fetches the RSS feeds you list, skips links it has seen before, and has its built-in AI score each new article for relevance to your topics and write a short summary. Only the top-scoring items are posted into your Teams channel.

It works well for strategy, sales and product teams that want a shared, filtered stream instead of everyone reading their own.

What you get out of it

One shared source of truth
Everyone in the channel sees the same selected articles. That means conversations start from shared context and fewer people are surprised by news in meetings. The team debates the news instead of finding it.
Noise is filtered by relevance
A scoring step lets the strong items rise and the weak ones drop out. You read five articles that matter instead of scanning fifty headlines for the same value. Reading time drops while coverage stays broad.
Summaries save the click
A two-line summary tells you whether an article deserves a full read. That saves time on stories that look interesting but are not relevant to your market. That matters when feeds are busy and time is short.
Competitor moves are noticed sooner
A pricing change or a product launch reaches the team the morning it is published. Sales can adjust talking points while the news is still fresh. Responding quickly can win a deal.
Repeats never appear
Links that were posted before are skipped, so a story syndicated across ten sites shows up once. The channel stays short enough that people continue to read it. People keep reading what stays short and fresh.
Your topics, your sources
You choose the feeds and describe what counts as relevant. The digest can follow a niche such as medical devices or logistics, where generic news tools perform poorly. A narrow focus gives better results than a general news app.

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 Microsoft Teams 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 does the AI decide what is relevant?

You describe your topics and priorities, and the AI scores each article against that description. The more specific your description, the better the ranking, and you can refine it whenever results are off. Adjust the description later if needed.

How many items are posted per day?

You decide, for example the top five. If fewer than that pass your minimum score, fewer are posted, and on a quiet news day the channel may get only one or two items. A minimum score decides it.

Do I need an AI provider account?

No. The scoring and summaries use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, so there is no OpenAI or Anthropic key to obtain. You only need the feed addresses and access to post in the Teams channel. Everything runs inside ClickRuntime.

What permissions does it need?

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 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.
