Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every evening at 7pm, take today's top posts with over 500 upvotes from r/homelab and r/selfhosted, summarise them, and send the digest to my Telegram.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
Hobbyists and professionals follow subreddits to keep up with their interests, but the Reddit app pulls you into endless scrolling. A short digest of what was actually popular gives the value without the time sink.
Sending it to Telegram means it arrives as a message you can read in a minute, at the time you choose.
What you get out of it
The best posts only
A minimum score filters out everything but the posts the community found most useful.
Read in a minute
Each post is summarised in a line or two, so the whole digest is a quick read.
Less scrolling
One message a day replaces opening the app and getting lost in it.
No repeats
Posts already included are remembered, so a popular post that stays at the top is only sent once.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every evening ClickRuntime reads the day's top posts from the subreddits you chose.
It keeps posts above your minimum score that it has not sent before.
AI summarises each one in a line or two.
The digest is sent to you in Telegram with links.

What you get
Build your own
Need it to work differently?
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 Reddit and Telegram steps into one automation
Under the hood
The code that runs this automation
from clickruntime import on_trigger, credentials, http, state, ai

posts = [p for s in SUBS for p in reddit(f"/r/{s}/top", t="day", limit=25) if p["score"] >= MIN_SCORE and p["id"] not in seen]
if not posts:
return {"sent": 0}
listing = "\n".join(f"- {p['title']} | {p['selftext'][:400]} | https://redd.it/{p['id']}" for p in posts)

state.set("seen", (list(seen) + [p["id"] for p in posts])[-2000:])
return {"sent": len(posts)}FAQ
