Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 7am, email me yesterday's Google Ads spend, clicks, conversions and cost per conversion per campaign.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A shop owner running Google Ads for a handful of campaigns opens the interface every morning, picks yesterday, sorts by cost, and tries to remember whether $410 for Brand Search is normal. It is a ten-minute ritual that gets skipped on busy days, and the days it gets skipped are often the days a campaign overspent or a conversion tag broke.

Each morning, ClickRuntime queries Google Ads for yesterday's numbers by campaign: spend, clicks, conversions and cost per acquisition. It lays them out as a table and emails it. The data comes straight from the Google Ads API with no AI step, so what you read matches what you would see in the interface.

Teams often send it to a shared inbox so the owner, the marketer and the bookkeeper all see the same figures.

What you get out of it

  • Yesterday's money accounted for

    A campaign table with spend per row lets you confirm the budget went where you intended. If a test campaign swallowed half the day's spend, you know before it happens twice.

  • Broken tracking shows up fast

    A campaign that suddenly shows spend and zero conversions often means a tag or form broke. Seeing it the next morning limits the damage to one day instead of one week of unmeasured traffic.

  • CPA trends you can actually see

    Cost per acquisition appears next to each campaign every day, so a drift from $22 to $35 is visible while it can still be corrected by pausing a weak ad group or adjusting bids.

  • No login required to stay informed

    The numbers arrive in your inbox, so you can read them on your phone over breakfast. That is especially useful for owners who are not in the Google Ads interface daily.

  • A running record for monthly reviews

    A month of daily emails is a searchable history. When a client or partner asks what happened on the 14th, you can answer from the email instead of rebuilding it from reports.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every morning, ClickRuntime pulls yesterday's results for each of your Google Ads campaigns.

  2. For each campaign it lists spend, clicks, conversions and cost per conversion.

  3. You get one email with yesterday's total spend in the subject and a line per campaign.

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 Google 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

Does yesterday's data include all conversions?
Google Ads attributes conversions with some delay, so a conversion that happens today can be credited to a click from an earlier day. Yesterday's row can rise slightly in later days. For strict accuracy, compare it with the finalized figures a few days on.
Can the report cover several Google Ads accounts?
Yes, if the connected Google login has access to them, such as through a manager account. Each account can appear as its own section or as a combined table. Agencies usually prefer one email per client to keep reports separate.
Which time zone defines yesterday?
Google Ads reports in the time zone set on the ad account, and the query uses its YESTERDAY range. That means the numbers match the interface, even if your own time zone differs. The email itself arrives at the schedule time you pick.
What permissions does it need?
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 (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.
