Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: each time someone fills in my Tally "Beta waitlist" form, email me their name, email and what they want to use the product for.

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

A freelancer, a small agency or a nonprofit uses a Tally form for contact requests, quotes and sign-ups. Submissions go to the Tally dashboard, which nobody checks daily, so an enquiry from a potential client sits for two days. In that time the prospect contacts two other providers and the one who replies first usually wins the work. Speed decides these things.

When someone submits your form, Tally sends the data to ClickRuntime, which flattens the fields into simple label and value pairs and emails them to you. The message reads like a short note with every answer on its own line, so you can reply quickly without logging in anywhere. No dashboard login is needed to read any of it.

It fits contact forms, booking requests, event registrations and any form where speed of response matters.

What you get out of it

First responders win the work
Prospects often choose whoever answers first. Getting the enquiry in your inbox the moment it is submitted gives you a head start over competitors who check their dashboard once a day.
Nothing is missed in a dashboard nobody opens
An email is where you already look. A submission cannot hide behind a tab you forgot to check, and a busy week no longer means lost leads. Busy weeks no longer cost you enquiries.
Answers are readable straight away
The fields are turned into clear label and value lines instead of raw data. You can forward the message to a colleague or paste it into a quote without cleaning it up.
Forwarding and filing becomes easy
Because each submission is an email, it can be labeled, forwarded to a teammate or kept in a client folder. Your existing mail rules and search work on every enquiry.
A backup copy exists outside Tally
Each email is a second record of what was submitted. If you change tools or lose access, the history of enquiries is still safe in your mailbox. Your mailbox keeps the history even if you switch form tools later.

How it works

What happens, step by step

When someone answers your Tally form, Tally sends the response to ClickRuntime straight away.
ClickRuntime lays out each question next to its answer.
You get an email with the full response, with the form name and the person's name in the subject.

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

Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
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 Tally 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.

email_me_new_submissions_tally.pyexample

from clickruntime import on_event, notify

def fields(payload):
    out = {}
    for f in payload["data"]["fields"]:
        value = f.get("value")
        if f.get("options") and value:
            ids = value if isinstance(value, list) else [value]
            value = ", ".join(o["text"] for o in f["options"] if o["id"] in ids)
        out[f["label"]] = value
    return out

@on_event
def handle(event):
    answers = fields(event.json)
    body = "\n".join(f"{label}: {value}" for label, value in answers.items() if value)
    notify.email_me(f"Beta waitlist: {answers.get('Name') or answers.get('Email')}", body)
    return {"response": event.json["data"].get("responseId")}

FAQ

Common questions

Does it handle file uploads and multiple choice answers?

Multiple choice and checkbox answers appear as readable lists. File uploads appear as links to the uploaded files, as provided by Tally. Very large attachments are linked rather than attached to the email. Nothing is dropped from the email.

Can the email go to a different address depending on the form?

Yes. Each form can send to its own address or to several people, and a condition on an answer, such as department, can route the message to the right person. Describe the rule to your assistant and approve it.

Does it work with Tally's free plan?

Webhooks are available in Tally, and the form owner connects one to the link you receive. Plan features can change, so check Tally's current pricing page if your webhook setting does not appear. The email step does not depend on your Tally plan.

What permissions does it need?

key with user permissions. 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 for each event the app sends.

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.
