Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: give me a link my shop can send new orders to. Post every order over $100 to #sales with the customer, total and a link to the order.

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 new order, a form submission, a tagged release, a failed payment: each of these happens in a different tool, and each tool has its own notification settings that go to a different person's email. The founder sees the order, the developer sees the release, and the support lead finds out about the payment problem from a customer. The team has no single place where things that happen in the business are visible as they occur.

When a connected app sends an event as JSON to ClickRuntime, it applies the filter you set, such as order amount, urgency or a label, formats the fields into a readable message and posts it to a channel like #alerts through the Slack API. Events that do not pass the filter are ignored, so the channel carries only what deserves attention.

Small teams often use it as an activity feed for the business, and larger ones use it to route urgent events to a dedicated channel.

What you get out of it

The team sees one live feed
Orders, releases and sign-ups appear next to team conversation. People notice a spike or a stall the moment it happens, instead of discovering it in a weekly report that arrives after the chance to react has gone.
Important events are separated from noise
A filter on amount, urgency or label keeps routine events out and puts only significant ones in front of people, so alerts continue to be read rather than muted after a week.
Anything with a webhook can connect
Many tools can send an event to a URL. This avoids waiting for a ready-made Slack integration for each one, and also covers homemade internal systems that no marketplace app supports and that no vendor will ever build for.
Faster reactions to customers
A form submission posted in a channel gets claimed by whoever is online. Replies go out in minutes, which affects conversion on inquiries and goodwill on complaints, and nothing waits in one person's mailbox.
Fewer scattered notification emails
Each person stops receiving separate emails from five apps. The events that matter are in a channel, and the rest are left behind in the source systems, where anyone who wants them can still find them.

How it works

What happens, step by step

When your shop or app reports a new event, such as an order being placed, ClickRuntime receives it straight away.
It checks the event against your filter, for example skipping orders under $100.
Events that pass become a short message with the order number, amount, customer email and a link.
The message is posted to your Slack channel, such as #sales, within seconds.

Before it runs live

Connect Slack, then invite the app to the channel (type /invite @ClickRuntime there)
Paste your automation's link into the other app's webhook settings

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
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Google Sheets
Combine it with other Slack 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.

        return {"posted": False}
    customer = (order.get("customer") or {}).get("email", "unknown customer")
    notify.slack(
        f"New order {order.get('name')}: ${total:,.2f} from {customer}\n{order.get('order_status_url', '')}",

FAQ

Common questions

Which apps can send events to it?

Any app that can call a webhook URL: Shopify, Stripe, GitHub, Typeform, form builders, or your own code. ClickRuntime checks Stripe, GitHub, Shopify and Typeform signatures for you.

Can I change the filter later?

Yes. Ask your assistant, for example "only post orders over $250". It shows you the change and you approve it before it goes live.

What does the posted message contain?

It contains the fields you choose from the event, such as customer, amount, product or release name, laid out in readable lines with a link back to the source when the event includes one. You decide the wording.

Can I post only deals over $10,000?

Yes. That is a filter on one field of the event, such as an amount, and any condition on a field in the payload can be applied, including labels, countries or statuses. Events below the line never reach the channel.

What permissions does it need?

chat:write. 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 for each event the app sends.

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.
