Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 8am, email me how many responses each of my Typeforms got yesterday, compared with the same day last week.

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

Anyone running several Typeforms, such as a lead form, a feedback survey and an event registration, has no easy way to see which of them are working. Counts are buried under each form's own results tab. A marketing manager who just launched a campaign cannot tell on Tuesday morning whether Monday brought thirty submissions or three, and finds out too late to fix a broken embed.

Each morning, this lists your forms, counts the responses each received yesterday using start and end times, compares each count with the same day last week from stored numbers and emails you a table. A glance tells you which forms are busy, quiet or changing.

It is a good daily pulse for teams running campaigns, registrations or surveys. It takes under a minute to read with your coffee.

What you get out of it

  • See every form in one table

    Instead of opening each form's results, you read one email. The yesterday column shows where attention went, and which forms are idle, without any clicking around. You also spot idle forms that should be archived.

  • Same-day-last-week comparison

    Comparing Tuesday with last Tuesday removes weekday effects. A figure that looks low is put in context, so you know whether it is a genuine dip or a normal quiet Monday.

  • Campaign results arrive early

    After an email blast or ad launch, the next morning's count shows whether the form is being found and completed. You can adjust the campaign on day two rather than after a week.

  • Broken forms get noticed

    A form that drops to zero after being busy often has a technical problem, such as a changed embed. The table makes that sudden silence stand out the next morning.

  • A running log of volume

    Each digest is a dated record of response counts. Looking back, you can see seasonal patterns and how each campaign performed over its first week. Campaign performance becomes easy to look back on later.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every day, ClickRuntime goes through each of your Typeform forms.

  2. It counts the responses each form received that day.

  3. It compares each count with the same day last week.

  4. You get one email with each form's count and how it changed.

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 Typeform 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.
daily_response_count_digest.pyexample
from datetime import date, timedelta
from clickruntime import on_trigger, http, credentials, notify

def typeform(method, path, **kw):
    r = http.request(method, f"https://api.typeform.com{path}",
                     headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {credentials.secret('TYPEFORM_TOKEN')}"}, **kw)
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json() if r.content else None

def count(form_id, day):
    nxt = day + timedelta(days=1)
    return typeform("GET", f"/forms/{form_id}/responses", params={
        "since": f"{day}T00:00:00Z", "until": f"{nxt}T00:00:00Z", "page_size": 1})["total_items"]

@on_trigger
def run(event):
    yesterday = date.today() - timedelta(days=1)
    lines = []
    for form in typeform("GET", "/forms", params={"page_size": 200})["items"]:
        now, before = count(form["id"], yesterday), count(form["id"], yesterday - timedelta(days=7))
        lines.append(f"{form['title']}: {now} (same day last week: {before}, {now - before:+d})")
    notify.email_me(f"Typeform responses for {yesterday:%a %b %d}", "\n".join(lines))
    return {"forms": len(lines)}

FAQ

Common questions

What does yesterday mean for the count?
It covers the full previous day in the time zone you set, from midnight to midnight. Responses submitted late in the evening count toward that day, so make sure the time zone matches where your audience is.
Does it include partial responses?
Typeform counts completed responses in this view, not people who started and abandoned the form. If you want to measure drop-off, you would need to track the starts too, which is a separate measure. Abandoned forms are not counted.
Can I list only some of my forms?
Yes. Name the forms you care about and the rest are left out. That keeps the table short if your account holds many old or test forms that no longer matter. Old and test forms stay out of the table.
What permissions does it need?
forms:read, responses: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 (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.
