Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: when a new product is added to my shop, write a short announcement and post it with the product photo on my Facebook Page and LinkedIn.

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 homeware brand adds new products every week but only remembers to post about the big launches. Smaller additions go unnoticed, even though followers would happily buy them.

Each new product now gets its own announcement with a photo on Facebook and LinkedIn, written from the product name and description, as soon as it's added to the shop.

What you get out of it

Every product gets a launch
Small additions get the same attention as big releases.
Photos that stop the scroll
Image posts get far more attention than links alone.
Reach trade buyers too
LinkedIn puts new products in front of shops and businesses who buy wholesale.
No extra admin
Adding a product to your shop is the only step.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Your shop tells ClickRuntime that a new product was added.
AI writes a short announcement from the product's name and description.
The announcement is posted with the product photo on your Facebook Page.
The same announcement, with the photo uploaded, is posted on LinkedIn.

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 Facebook Pages and LinkedIn 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.
