Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Friday at 4, read the comments on my Facebook Page posts from the last week and email me a summary of the sentiment, the main themes and any comments that need a reply.

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 council-run leisure centre posts timetable changes and news on Facebook. Comments pile up under each post: praise, complaints about parking, questions about prices. Nobody has time to read them all, so patterns go unnoticed.

Every Friday a short email sums up the week's comments: how people feel overall, the themes that keep coming up and the specific comments that still need an answer.

What you get out of it

  • Hear what people are saying

    Recurring themes stand out, like parking or class sizes.

  • Don't miss questions

    Unanswered questions and complaints are listed for follow-up.

  • Track mood over time

    Weekly emails show whether things are getting better or worse.

  • No scrolling through comments

    A five-minute read replaces an hour of scrolling.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every Friday, ClickRuntime lists the posts on your Page from the last week.

  2. It reads the comments on each post.

  3. AI sums up the overall mood, the common themes and the comments that need a reply.

  4. The summary is emailed to you from Gmail.

Before it runs live

  • Connect Facebook Pages
  • Connect Google through your own Google app (a one-time, 10-minute setup), so it works with your own Gmail

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 Facebook Pages and Gmail 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 posts are included?
Posts published on your Page in the last seven days, and all their comments.
Does it reply to anyone?
No. It reads and summarises; replies stay with you.
Does it include commenters' names?
Only for comments it suggests you reply to, so you can find them quickly.
What permissions does it need?
pages_read_engagement, pages_read_user_content; gmail.send. 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 (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.
