AI: Not needed
Access: API key + secret

Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 9am, get yesterday's active users and new users from Amplitude and post them to #product in Slack.

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

Product and growth teams look at Amplitude numbers every morning: active users, new users, a key event count. In practice, each person opens a chart, sets the date range, maybe finds that someone changed a filter yesterday, and reads a number that differs a little from the one a colleague saw. Standups start with a few minutes of who has the latest figure. Meanwhile, a drop that began yesterday evening can go unnoticed until someone happens to open the right dashboard.

Each morning, the automation calls Amplitude's Dashboard REST API for the users and event segmentation numbers you choose, formats yesterday's values (with the previous day beside them) and posts them in a Slack channel. Everyone starts the day from the same figures.

Teams that hold a short morning check-in, and founders who want a pulse on the product without opening another tab, get the most from it.

What you get out of it

Everyone starts from the same numbers
One post in the channel means the whole team has the same figures, from the same query, at the same time, and the first minutes of the standup are not spent finding them.
Drops are noticed the next morning
If active users fell 20% yesterday, the post shows it before people open their laptops. Investigating a release or an outage a day earlier limits how long it affects users.
Metrics become a habit
Seeing the numbers every day, in a place where the team already talks, builds a feel for what normal looks like, so unusual days stand out without a formal review.
Leadership follows along without tools
Executives and advisers who do not use Amplitude can read the Slack post. They stay close to the numbers without needing seats or training. They stay close to the product with no extra seats.
Slack keeps a searchable history
Daily posts become a timeline. When someone asks what happened around the launch last month, the answer is a scroll away, not a new chart to build. It also helps new team members catch up.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every morning, ClickRuntime asks Amplitude for yesterday's active users and new users.
It puts both numbers into one short line.
That line is posted to your Slack channel, so the team starts the day with the numbers in front of them.

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 Amplitude 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.

from datetime import date, timedelta
from clickruntime import on_trigger, credentials, http, notify

def amp(path, **params):
    auth = (credentials.secret("AMPLITUDE_API_KEY"), credentials.secret("AMPLITUDE_SECRET_KEY"))
    resp = http.get(f"https://amplitude.com/api/2/{path}", auth=auth, params=params)
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json()["data"]

    active = amp("users", start=day, end=day, m="active")["series"][0][0]
    new = amp("users", start=day, end=day, m="new")["series"][0][0]

FAQ

Common questions

Which Amplitude metrics can it post?

Anything the Dashboard REST API can return, such as active and new users, event counts, event segmentation by property, and retention. Choose the handful of numbers that your team actually discusses. Keep the list short so the message stays easy to read.

Does it need an Amplitude API secret?

Yes. The Dashboard REST API needs your project's API key and secret key. They are stored as secrets in ClickRuntime and are never shown in the Slack message. Only the numbers appear in the channel, never the credentials.

Can it compare with last week as well as yesterday?

Yes. Add the same weekday a week earlier, or a 7-day average, beside yesterday's value. That avoids false alarms on days of the week where activity is usually lower. Comparing like with like makes the post easier to trust.

What permissions does it need?

API key + secret. 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 (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.
