Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every 15 minutes, search Reddit for new posts and comments mentioning "Harbour Prints" or harbourprints.com and send each one to my Telegram with the subreddit, author, a short snippet and the link.

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

People ask for recommendations and complain about products on Reddit, often without tagging anyone. A question about your product that sits unanswered for a day is a lost customer, and a complaint that grows unnoticed costs more.

This automation searches Reddit for your brand, product names and domain every 15 minutes and sends each new post or comment to Telegram with enough text to judge it, plus a link to reply.

It suits founders, small brands and community managers who cannot pay for a social listening tool but need to know when Reddit is talking about them.

What you get out of it

  • Reply while it matters

    Answering within the hour often sets the tone of the whole thread.

  • Posts and comments

    Mentions buried deep in a comment thread are found, not just new posts.

  • Enough text to decide

    The snippet tells you whether to reply now, later or not at all.

  • No repeats

    Each mention is sent once, even when it shows up in several searches.

  • Watch competitors too

    Add competitor names as extra terms to learn what people say about them.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every 15 minutes, ClickRuntime searches Reddit for the names and domains you list, across posts and comments.

  2. It skips anything it has already sent you.

  3. Each new mention arrives on Telegram with the subreddit, author, a short snippet and a link.

  4. Optionally, ClickRuntime's built-in AI tags each mention as a question, complaint or praise.

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
  • 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

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

Does it catch mentions in comments as well as posts?
Yes, it searches both. Reddit's comment search can take a little while to index new comments, so some arrive later than posts.
Can I limit it to certain subreddits?
Yes. Give your assistant a list of subreddits and the search is restricted to them, which also cuts false matches.
What about common words in my brand name?
Put the name in quotes for an exact phrase and add your domain as a second term. Your assistant can also add words to exclude.
What permissions does it need?
Reddit user-created app (OAuth, read); bot token. Nothing else in your accounts is used.
Does it need AI?
No, but you can ask for an AI step (for example a summary). It then uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI allowance.
How many runs does it use?
One run each time it checks. Checks that find nothing new 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.
