Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every weekday at 11, take the next topic from my list, write a Facebook post and a short X post about it, publish both and record the post ids.

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

A software freelancer knows that posting regularly brings in work, and keeps a list of things worth sharing. But writing two versions, one for Facebook and one short enough for X, means the list grows and the posts don't.

Each weekday the next topic on the list is written up twice and published, a fuller post for the Facebook Page and a short one for X. The list gets worked through without the freelancer spending their mornings on it.

What you get out of it

Your list turns into posts
Topics you've saved actually get published, one a day.
Fits each platform
X posts stay short and punchy; Facebook posts have room to explain.
Steady presence
A post every weekday keeps you visible to potential clients.
No repeats
Each topic is used once and crossed off.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every weekday, ClickRuntime takes the next unused topic from your list.
AI writes a Facebook post and a shorter post for X about it.
Both are published, to your Facebook Page and your X account.
The topic is crossed off with the post ids, so it's never used again.

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 X 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?

Give them in the prompt, or ask your AI assistant to add more to the list at any time.

What happens when the list runs out?

Nothing is posted and you get an email asking for more topics.

Can I set the tone?

Yes. Describe your voice in the prompt, such as practical and friendly, and every post follows it.

What permissions does it need?

pages_manage_posts; tweet.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.
