On a schedule

Email yourself a weekly report on your Reddit posts

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.

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

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

  1. Every Monday morning ClickRuntime loads the posts your Reddit account submitted in the last 30 days.

  2. For each post it reads the score, upvote ratio and number of comments.

  3. It compares them with last week's numbers so you can see which posts are still gaining.

  4. 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

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 Gmail and Reddit 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

Why does the first report say every post is new?
The change column compares with the previous report. On the first run there is nothing to compare with, so each post is marked new. From the second week on you see the gains.
Can it cover a brand account and my personal account?
Each Reddit connection is one account. Connect the second account as another Reddit connection and ask your assistant to report on both in one email, with a heading per account.
Does it include my comments as well as posts?
Not by default, because comment lists get long. It can add a short section with your five highest-scoring comments of the week if you ask for it.
What permissions does it need?
Reddit identity, history, read; Gmail send. 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.
