Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 10am, pick the next topic from my list (home workouts, healthy snacks, sleep tips), write a short Facebook post with a matching image and publish it to my Page. Email me the 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

Posting regularly is how a Facebook Page stays visible, yet a small business rarely has anyone who can come up with a caption and find a picture every day. Weeks go by with nothing posted, then a burst of three posts in a day. The Page looks dormant, reach falls, and when you do want to announce something there is hardly anyone seeing the Page's posts.

Each day, ClickRuntime picks the next topic from a list you keep, uses its built-in AI to write a caption, gets an image (generated with an image-model key you supply, or from a URL you provide), publishes the photo post to your Page or the linked Instagram account, and emails you the link to the live post.

It is a good fit for local businesses, coaches and shops whose content comes from a repeatable set of topics.

What you get out of it

Keep the Page active every day
Pages that post steadily stay in followers' feeds, while quiet ones fade. A daily post without anyone sitting down to write it keeps the audience warm between your own announcements.
Run through a topic list on schedule
You supply topics such as seasonal offers, care tips or team introductions, and each is used once. Nothing repeats too soon and you can see what is coming next in the queue.
Post to Facebook and Instagram together
Publishing to the linked Instagram account at the same time doubles the reach from a single piece of content, without opening a second tool or re-uploading the image. Both platforms are covered by one daily run.
Get a link to check what went out
The email after each post includes the live link. A quick glance tells you whether the caption and image look right, and you can edit or delete in Facebook if something is off.
Save design and writing time
Writing, picking an image and uploading to a Page takes around twenty minutes each time. Moving that to a schedule gives the time back to customers or production. Those hours go back into the shop or studio.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every day ClickRuntime picks the next topic from your list, such as home workouts, healthy snacks or sleep tips, taking them in turn.
AI writes a short, friendly Facebook post on that topic, ending with a question to get people talking.
It publishes the post on your Facebook Page with the picture you chose for that topic.
You get an email with the link to the new post and its text.

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 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

Where does the image come from?

Either an image-generation key you provide, which is stored as a secret, or an image URL you give for each topic, such as a product photo. If neither is available, the post can go out as text only.

Can I review a post before it goes out?

Yes. The flow can be set to email the caption and image for your approval instead of publishing directly, which suits Pages where every public word needs to be checked by the owner. Approving takes a minute a day.

Will the posts sound like my business?

The AI follows a short description of your tone, audience and topics. Giving two or three examples of captions you like noticeably improves the match, and you can refine the wording after reading the first week of posts.

What permissions does it need?

pages_manage_posts, pages_read_engagement (+ instagram_content_publish). 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.
