Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every 15 minutes, check the price of BTC and ETH on CoinGecko and post to #alerts on my Discord if either moves more than 5% or crosses $100,000 for BTC or $4,000 for ETH.

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 trading community wants to know the moment Bitcoin crosses $70,000 or falls under $60,000, because that is when members start asking what to do. Someone stares at a price chart all day, or the group relies on whoever happens to look at their phone. Price apps send alerts to individuals, not to the shared channel where the conversation actually takes place, so the people who most need to see it are often the last to hear.

Every five to fifteen minutes the automation fetches current prices from a public price API, compares them with the levels you set and with the last alert it sent, and posts a message to the Discord channel when a level is crossed. Because it remembers the last alert, it does not repeat itself while the price hovers around the line.

It works well for investment clubs, trading groups and communities that discuss specific coins.

What you get out of it

Everyone reacts to the same event
A post in the shared channel means the whole group sees the move together. Discussion starts immediately in one place, instead of spreading across private messages and screenshots where half the members never see what the others are reacting to.
No one has to watch charts
The person who used to check the price every hour can stop. The automation does the watching and speaks up only when a level you picked is crossed, which gives that person their evenings back and removes the risk of a missed move.
No spam while the price wobbles
Comparing with the last alert avoids a flood of messages when the price hovers near a threshold. You get one alert per crossing, not twenty, so the channel stays readable and members do not mute it out of annoyance.
Levels that suit your plan
Members agree on levels that matter to them, such as a support line, a resistance line or a stop-loss. The channel is alerted on those specific numbers, not on every small tick that a generic price app would shout about.
Free of paid alert tools
A public price API and a Discord post replace a subscription to a separate alert service. That matters for a casual group that does not want another monthly bill, and it keeps the alerts in the place where the group already talks.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every few minutes, ClickRuntime fetches the latest prices for the coins you follow from a public price service.
It compares each price with the levels you set and with the last alert it sent.
It stays quiet if it has already alerted on that move.
When a price crosses a level or moves sharply, an alert is posted to your Discord channel with the new price.

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 Discord 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 coins and price sources does it support?

Any coin that a public price API returns, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, can be tracked. The data comes from whichever public source is set up, so tell your AI assistant which coins and which currency, such as USD or EUR, you care about and it will fetch exactly those.

How current is the price in the alert?

Prices are fetched when each run starts, every five to fifteen minutes, and public APIs may cache results for a minute or so. The alert is fast enough for community discussion, but it is not meant for split-second trading decisions or anything where seconds matter.

Can it alert on percentage moves instead of fixed prices?

Yes. Instead of a fixed level, it can compare the current price with a stored earlier price and post when the move exceeds, say, 5 percent in a day. Tell your AI assistant for that variant if fixed levels do not suit a volatile coin.

What permissions does it need?

Send Messages. 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 (every 5–15 minutes). 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.
