Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday at 8am, email me from Gmail a table of my Reddit posts from the last 30 days with score, upvote ratio, comments and the change since the previous report.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
If you share your work on Reddit, you want to know which posts actually landed. Reddit shows each post's score on its own page, but there is no simple view of everything you posted and how it moved over the week.
This collects your recent submissions every Monday and emails you one list, sorted by score, with the change since the previous report. You can see in one glance which subreddit responded and which post is still drawing comments.
It suits indie makers, community managers and writers who post across several subreddits and want a record of what worked without opening each thread.
What you get out of it
One list for every subreddit
Posts in r/SaaS, r/selfhosted and a niche hobby subreddit show up side by side. Comparing where your audience is becomes easy.
Spot posts still gaining
The week-on-week change shows when an older post is still picking up comments. That is the thread worth going back to and answering.
Upvote ratio shows reception
A post with many comments but a low ratio may be drawing criticism. Seeing the ratio next to the score tells you which discussions need a careful reply.
A record you can keep
Weekly emails build into a history in your mailbox. When you plan the next launch post you can look back at what got traction before.
Read-only on Reddit
The automation only reads your submissions. It never posts, votes or edits anything on your account.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every Monday morning ClickRuntime loads the posts your Reddit account submitted in the last 30 days.
For each post it reads the score, upvote ratio and number of comments.
It compares them with last week's numbers so you can see which posts are still gaining.
The report is emailed to you from your Gmail, best post first.
Before it runs live
- Connect Google through your own Google app (a one-time, 10-minute setup), so it works with your own Gmail
- Connect Reddit
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
- 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 Gmail and Reddit steps into one automation

Common questions
Why does the first report say every post is new?
Can it cover a brand account and my personal account?
Does it include my comments as well as posts?
What permissions does it need?
Does it need AI?
How many runs does it use?
Can I change how it works?
