Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 7am, email me yesterday's GA4 users, sessions and conversions by channel with a 3-line AI summary.

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

The owner of an online course business opens Google Analytics each morning, scans the channel table and tries to decide whether yesterday was good. Sessions look up, but is that from the newsletter, a social post or a one-off bot spike? Without a quick read, the numbers stay numbers, and the days when organic search quietly dropped get noticed late.

On the schedule you set, ClickRuntime runs a GA4 report for yesterday split by channel and has its built-in AI write a short plain-English summary of what the figures say. The email opens with those few sentences, followed by the numbers behind them, so you understand the day before you have finished your coffee.

It is also popular with founders who do not live in analytics and just want to know if anything needs attention.

What you get out of it

Meaning, not just numbers
A sentence like "organic search fell 18 percent while email held steady" tells you where to look. You skip the squinting and go straight to the cause or the follow-up.
Daily awareness without opening GA4
The email arrives where you already read, so you stay informed on days you would never log in. For a small team, that habit alone catches issues sooner than weekly check-ins.
Channel shifts show up quickly
Because yesterday is broken down by channel, a drop in paid or organic traffic is visible the next morning. You can pause a campaign or check a ranking before the loss compounds.
Easier to share with non-analysts
A partner or investor can read the paragraph without knowing what a session is. That makes it simple to forward the day's email when someone asks how the launch is going.
Consistent snapshot to compare against
Each day follows the same structure, so changes stand out against the previous emails. Over a few weeks you learn what a normal Tuesday looks like for your site. That familiarity makes odd days easy to spot.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every morning at 7, ClickRuntime pulls yesterday's sessions, users and conversions from Google Analytics, split by channel such as paid search, organic and direct.
AI reads the figures and writes three plain-English lines on what stood out.
You get one email with the summary at the top and the figures for each channel below.

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 Google Analytics 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

How accurate is the AI summary?

It describes the numbers it is given, such as which channels rose or fell, and does not add outside facts. It cannot know about a newsletter you sent or a server outage unless that shows in the data, so use it as a quick read, not a diagnosis.

Can the report include a specific key event, like purchases?

Yes. Along with channels, the report can add event counts for a key event such as purchase or sign_up, so the summary talks about revenue-related activity too. Mention which events matter to you and they can be added.

Does yesterday's data change after I receive it?

Slightly, since GA4 can process some data for up to a day. A morning report is generally close, but later figures may shift by a small amount. If you need precise numbers for finance, use a report from several days later.

What permissions does it need?

analytics.readonly. 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.
