Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A creator posts on TikTok several times a week and checks the follower count obsessively without ever knowing whether the trend is up or down. TikTok's analytics show recent figures inside the app but are awkward to compare week to week, and a brand deal pitch needs real numbers. Without a record, growth and dips are impressions, not evidence. Guessing is a poor basis for a growth plan.

Every week, ClickRuntime fetches your account's stats, including follower count and total likes, compares them with the figures it stored last time and emails you the change. Over time, the emails and the stored values form a simple growth log, so you can tell what your posts actually did for your audience.

It suits creators, social media managers and small brands tracking growth without a paid analytics tool.

What you get out of it

Growth becomes a number, not a feeling
A weekly change such as plus 320 followers is concrete. You can see whether a new posting style helped, instead of relying on how the last video felt. Counting added followers each week is much more reliable than trying to recall whether a good week felt good.
Brand pitches have evidence
Sponsors ask for follower history. A log of weekly counts gives you something to show, which makes negotiating rates easier. Rate negotiations go better when you can name a trend, such as steady growth across the last three months.
Dips are noticed early
A week with a loss prompts you to look at what changed, such as posting frequency or topic. Catching a trend in two weeks is better than finding it in two months.
Content experiments get feedback
Trying a new format and comparing the next weekly change shows whether it worked. Small experiments teach you what your audience wants. Seeing the next weekly change shows whether the experiment helped, so you keep what works and drop what does not.
A permanent history builds itself
Stored weekly values accumulate with no effort. Months later you can chart growth, compare seasons and see the effect of a viral post. Months later you can look at the whole curve and spot the video that made a difference.

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 TikTok 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.

follower_count_tracker.pyexample

from clickruntime import on_trigger, state, notify, http, credentials

@on_trigger
def run(event):
    auth = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + credentials.connection("tiktok", "main")}
    user = http.get("https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/user/info/", headers=auth,
                    params={"fields": "follower_count,likes_count"}).json()["data"]["user"]
    now, last = user["follower_count"], state.get("followers")
    change = "" if last is None else f" ({now - last:+,} since last Sunday)"
    notify.email_me(f"TikTok followers: {now:,}{change}", f"Followers: {now:,}{change}\nTotal likes: {user['likes_count']:,}")
    state.set("followers", now)
    return {"followers": now}

FAQ

Common questions

Which numbers does it track?

Follower count is the main figure, and other profile stats TikTok returns, such as total likes or video count, can be included. Name the metrics you care about and review the email layout first. Both are shown side by side.

Does it track other people's accounts?

It reads the account you authorize. TikTok's API limits what it exposes about other accounts, so tracking competitors is generally not possible through your own connection. Reading other people's accounts is a separate matter handled by TikTok's own rules.

Why weekly and not daily?

Weekly smooths out daily noise and keeps the email short. Daily changes are often small and misleading. If you want finer detail, the schedule can be daily, though the emails will be more frequent. Tell your assistant if you want it daily.

What permissions does it need?

user.info.stats (must be added). 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 (weekly). 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.
