Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every morning, check my job feeds, score each new posting against my profile, add matches to my Jobs sheet and send the best ones to my Telegram.

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

A product designer looking for a remote role follows several job boards and company career feeds. Most posts are the wrong level, the wrong time zone or need relocation. Scrolling them every day takes half an hour, and the good ones get buried between dozens that are close but not right.

This automation reads your feeds once a morning, skips posts you have already seen and has AI score each new one against a short profile you write. Matches go into a sheet you can use as an application tracker, and the top few come to Telegram so you can act on them first.

What you get out of it

  • Read five posts instead of fifty

    Only posts that fit your profile reach you. The time you used to spend filtering goes into writing better applications.

  • Apply early

    Posts are checked every morning, so strong matches reach you while they are still fresh. Early applications are more likely to be read.

  • A ready-made application tracker

    Every match is a row with the title, link, score and reason. Add columns for status and notes and the sheet becomes your job search log.

  • Scored against what you actually want

    Your profile can include seniority, salary floor, remote rules and the kind of work you want to avoid. The score reflects all of it, not just a keyword.

  • No repeats

    A post that stays up for weeks is only scored and sent once. You never re-read the same listing.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every morning, ClickRuntime reads the job feeds you listed.

  2. It sets aside posts it has already seen so each one is only checked once.

  3. AI scores each new post from 1 to 10 against your profile and gives a one-line reason.

  4. Matches are added as rows to your Jobs sheet, and the best ones are sent to you on Telegram.

Before it runs live

  • Connect your Google Sheets account and pick the spreadsheets it may use
  • Connect Telegram

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
  • 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 Google Sheets 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

Which job feeds can I use?
Any job board or careers page that offers an RSS or Atom feed, including many saved board searches with filters. You list the feed links in the script settings.
How do I describe my profile?
Write a short paragraph: the roles you want, your level, location or time zone rules, salary expectations and anything you rule out. Clear, specific limits give the best scores.
What score counts as a match?
Posts scoring 6 out of 10 or more go into the sheet, and the top few scoring 8 or more are sent to Telegram. Both thresholds can be adjusted.
What permissions does it need?
Sheets read+write; Telegram bot token. Nothing else in your accounts is used.
Does it need AI?
Yes. It uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI, so you don't need an OpenAI or Anthropic key. Every plan includes a monthly AI allowance.
How many runs does it use?
One run each time it runs (daily). 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.
