Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every hour, check these RSS feeds, rewrite new articles with AI (translating them if needed), publish them to WordPress and share them on my Facebook Page.

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 community news site for Spanish-speaking residents in a US city follows English-language feeds from the city council, the school district and local transit. Its readers rely on it for translated updates, and its Facebook Page is where most of them find the news, but translating and posting each item by hand is a full-time job.

This automation handles the routine announcements. Every hour it checks the feeds, AI rewrites each new item in Spanish in the site's style with a credit and link to the source, it is published on WordPress, and the link is shared on the Facebook Page.

What you get out of it

  • Updates in your readers' language

    Translation is part of the rewrite, so announcements reach people who would otherwise miss them.

  • Fast enough to be useful

    Items are published within the hour, which matters for road closures, school notices and deadlines.

  • Your site and Page stay in step

    Every article is shared on Facebook as soon as it is published, bringing readers back to your site.

  • Credit where it is due

    Each post names and links its source, keeping you transparent with readers and sources alike.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every hour, ClickRuntime checks each RSS feed on your list and keeps only items it has not handled before.

  2. AI rewrites each new item in your style and language, crediting and linking the source.

  3. The article is published on your WordPress site.

  4. A short caption and the link are posted to your Facebook Page.

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
  • 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 WordPress 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

Can I skip translation?
Yes. Leave the language as the source's and posts are simply rewritten in your style.
Can I review before publishing?
Yes. Switch to drafts and only posts you publish are shared on Facebook.
What about copyright?
Posts summarise in your own words and link to the source. Use feeds from public bodies or sources whose terms allow it.
What permissions does it need?
WordPress write; pages_manage_posts. 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 checks. Checks that find nothing new 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.
