Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every hour, check my RSS feeds for new items, keep only ones that match my interests, summarise each in one line, and send them to me on Telegram and WhatsApp.

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

Job boards, news feeds and market updates produce far more than anyone can read, and the few items that matter are easy to miss. Keyword alerts help but let through plenty of noise.

Filtering new items against a plain description of what you care about, and sending only the matches with a one-line summary, puts the right opportunities in front of you quickly on the apps you check most.

What you get out of it

  • Only what matters

    Items are filtered by what you describe, not just keywords.

  • First to know

    New matches arrive within the hour, while the job or story is fresh.

  • One-line summaries

    Each match is summarised so you can decide in seconds.

  • On both apps

    You'll see it whether you're in Telegram or WhatsApp.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every hour it reads your chosen feeds.

  2. Items it has already seen are skipped.

  3. AI checks each new item against your description and writes a one-line summary of the matches.

  4. The matches are sent to you on Telegram and WhatsApp.

Before it runs live

  • Connect Telegram
  • Connect WhatsApp Business

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 Telegram and WhatsApp Business 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 sources can it watch?
Any RSS or Atom feed, which most job boards, news sites and blogs offer.
How do I describe what I want?
In plain words, such as 'remote Python roles over 70k' or 'news about EU energy prices'.
Will I see the same item twice?
No. Items already checked are remembered.
What permissions does it need?
bot token; whatsapp_business_messaging. 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 (hourly). 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.
