Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A freelancer who runs Meta ads for six local businesses spends Friday afternoons exporting reports from Ads Manager, one account and one date range at a time, then pasting figures into a document. The export columns never match what the client asked for, someone forgets to change the date preset, and the report goes out late with a spend figure that does not agree with the invoice from Meta.

Every week, ClickRuntime calls the Meta insights API at campaign level for the date preset you choose, such as last 7 days, arranges spend, results and cost per result into a table with one row per campaign, and emails it to you. The numbers come straight from Meta, so there is no copying between screens.

Agencies, in-house marketers and shop owners who need identical numbers at a fixed time each week tend to use it.

What you get out of it

The same columns every time
A fixed layout of spend, results and cost per result means you read the report in seconds, and a client who receives it weekly learns where to look. Nothing shifts between exports.
Numbers that match Meta's own
Pulling figures directly from the insights API avoids transcription errors. When a client compares your report with their invoice or Ads Manager, the two agree, which protects your credibility. That also makes it easy to check against the invoice.
Bad campaigns are spotted sooner
A campaign that spent $400 and produced two results stands out in a table of ten rows. You can pause or rework it on Monday rather than discovering the waste at month-end.
Reporting hours are returned to you
If each client report takes 20 minutes by hand, six clients cost two hours every week. A scheduled email replaces that work, leaving time for the optimizing the report is supposed to inform.
Date ranges are never mixed up
Because the preset is defined once, nobody exports last 30 days by accident and sends it as last week. Comparisons from week to week remain honest. Your week-on-week comparisons stay trustworthy for the client.
Easy to forward as a client update
The table is formatted for email, so you can send it as it is or add two lines of your own commentary. Clients get a prompt, tidy update without a login to Ads Manager.

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
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Meta Ads 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

Which Meta metrics are included?

The table shows spend, results and cost per result for each campaign, which are the figures most clients ask for first. Others such as reach, impressions or click-through rate can be added if you want them.

Can it cover several ad accounts?

Each setup connects to one ad account. If you manage several, set up one per account and each report arrives as a separate email, so a client's figures never get mixed with another's. Use a separate setup for each client account.

What date range does it use?

It uses the Meta date preset you choose, such as last 7 days or last month. The preset is part of the setup, so every email covers the same kind of period, and you can change it whenever you like.

What permissions does it need?

ads_read. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run each time it runs (weekly). 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.
