Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every morning at 8am, find yesterday's Reddit posts and YouTube videos mentioning Northwind Bikes, summarise them with the overall sentiment, and email me.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
Brands are reviewed and discussed on both YouTube and Reddit, and those opinions shape what buyers think. A small marketing team cannot check both every day, so a critical review or a viral thread can go unnoticed for a week.
One morning email covering both sites shows what was said and how people feel, so you can respond, thank or investigate the same day.
What you get out of it
Two sites, one email
Mentions from Reddit and YouTube are combined, so you see the whole picture at once.
Sentiment at a glance
The summary says whether the mood was positive or negative and why.
Catch reviews early
New review videos and threads are spotted the next morning, while you can still join the conversation.
Only new mentions
Items already reported are remembered, so each email covers only the last day.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every morning ClickRuntime searches Reddit and YouTube for posts and videos from the last day mentioning your brand.
It skips anything it reported before.
AI summarises what was said and gives the overall sentiment.
The summary, with links, is emailed to you.

What you get
Build your own
Need it to work differently?
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 Reddit and YouTube steps into one automation
Under the hood
