Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every morning at 8, summarise yesterday's merged PRs in acme/app in a few sentences and send it to me on Telegram.

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 technical founder no longer reviews every pull request but wants to know what the team shipped. Reading the list of merged pull requests each morning takes time and the titles do not always explain much.

A short summary on Telegram over breakfast tells them what moved in plain language. They stay close to the product without slowing the team down.

What you get out of it

  • Stay informed without reviewing

    A few sentences cover the day's merged work. Leaders keep up without being a bottleneck.

  • Plain language

    AI explains changes in terms of what they do, not branch names. Non-engineers can follow along.

  • On your phone

    The summary arrives where you already look in the morning. No dashboard to open.

  • Silence means no merges

    If nothing was merged, nothing is sent. Every message is worth reading.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every morning, ClickRuntime finds the pull requests merged in your repository in the last 24 hours.

  2. AI reads the titles and descriptions and writes a short summary.

  3. Your Telegram bot sends the summary with links to the pull requests.

Before it runs live

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 GitHub and Telegram 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

Can it summarise issues instead?
Yes. Ask for issues with a label, such as customer-reported, and it summarises those instead of or as well as pull requests.
Can it cover several repositories?
Yes. Name your organisation or a list of repositories, and the summary groups work by repository.
Can a whole team get it?
Yes. Add your bot to a group chat and send the summary there.
What permissions does it need?
GitHub read; bot token. 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 (on a schedule). 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.
