Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday at 8am, find companies with a ZoomInfo intent score of 80 or more on 'endpoint security' and 'zero trust', and email me the list with company name, score and topic.

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 sales team buys ZoomInfo intent data hoping to reach companies researching their category. But the signals live inside the platform, and busy reps log in rarely. By the time someone sees that a target account has been researching cloud backup for two weeks, the buying committee has already shortlisted vendors. Intent is perishable, and a weekly manual check misses most of its value.

On the schedule you pick, an intent search runs for the topics you chose. Accounts scoring above a threshold you set are kept, and an email lists each one with the company, topic and score. Reps see which accounts are warming up and can reach out with a relevant message.

Aimed at outbound teams and account executives with defined target lists. The digest comes as one email, not a flood.

What you get out of it

Outreach lands at the right moment
Calling an account while it is researching your topic improves the odds of a useful conversation. A week later, the buying committee may already have a shortlist, and you are late.
Reps know why to call
The topic in the email gives the rep a hook, such as noticing that the team is looking at endpoint security. Cold calls turn warmer when the first sentence is relevant to something they did.
Intent data actually gets used
Paying for intent data that nobody reads wastes budget. A digest gets the signals in front of the people who can act, so the subscription produces conversations and not just data.
Noise is filtered by score
Only accounts above your score threshold appear. Reps are not asked to wade through weak signals that rarely convert, so the list stays short enough to be acted upon the same day.
Marketing and sales align
The topics chosen for the search reflect the campaigns running. Marketing can see which topics produce intent, and sales can follow up fast, which closes the loop between the two teams.
Focus on your ideal customers
The search can be limited by company attributes such as size or industry. Reps hear about accounts that fit your profile, and you do not chase interest from companies you cannot serve.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every Monday at 8, ClickRuntime signs in to ZoomInfo and searches for companies researching your chosen topics, such as Zero Trust or Endpoint Security.
It keeps only companies with an intent score of 80 or more.
You get an email listing each company with its score and topic, highest score first. If none qualify, the email says so.

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 ZoomInfo 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.

intent_alert_digest.pyexample

from clickruntime import on_trigger, credentials, notify, http

TOPICS = ["Endpoint Security", "Zero Trust"]

@on_trigger
def run(event):
    jwt = http.post("https://api.zoominfo.com/authenticate", json={
        "username": credentials.secret("ZOOMINFO_USERNAME"),
        "password": credentials.secret("ZOOMINFO_PASSWORD"),
    }).json()["jwt"]
    resp = http.post("https://api.zoominfo.com/search/intent",
                     headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {jwt}"},
                     json={"topics": TOPICS, "signalScoreMin": 80, "rpp": 100})
    resp.raise_for_status()
    rows = sorted(resp.json()["data"], key=lambda r: r["signalScore"], reverse=True)
    lines = [f"{r['company']['name']}: {r['signalScore']} ({r['topic']})" for r in rows]
    notify.email_me(f"ZoomInfo intent: {len(rows)} companies at 80+",
                    "\n".join(lines) or "No companies scored 80 or more this week.")
    return {"companies": len(rows)}

FAQ

Common questions

How do I choose topics?

Topics are picked from ZoomInfo's intent topic list and set in the search. Choose topics tied to your product categories, and keep the list short so the digest stays focused. Choose topics from ZoomInfo's intent topic list.

What does the intent score mean?

It is ZoomInfo's measure of the strength of research activity from a company on a topic. Higher means stronger signals. You set the minimum score that makes an account worth listing. The score measures strength of research activity.

Can I limit it to my target accounts?

Yes. The search can be restricted by company attributes such as industry, size or location, so you only hear about accounts that fit your ideal customer profile. Filters by industry and size are possible. Narrower filters give shorter lists.

What permissions does it need?

API license with intent. 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.
