Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A person trying to build a habit, take medication on time or remember to stretch relies on phone alarms. Alarms are easy to dismiss and forget, and they say nothing useful, just a beep and a label. A quiet message from a chat you already read feels more personal and tends to be noticed, but sending yourself messages by hand defeats the purpose.

At the time you choose each morning, ClickRuntime builds the message, either fixed text you wrote or a fresh quote or affirmation generated by ClickRuntime's built-in AI, and sends it to your saved Telegram chat. The same chat can carry different reminders at different times, so one thread holds your whole routine.

It suits people building routines, coaches who message clients and families who share reminders in a group.

What you get out of it

Reminders land where you already look
A Telegram message is seen alongside your other chats instead of being swiped away like an alarm. Habits tied to a visible message are more likely to stick. An alarm gets silenced in a second, while a message sits there until you deal with it.
Messages can be meaningful
A reminder that says drink water, then walk for ten minutes feels different from a bare beep. Wording that fits your routine is easier to act on. Specific, friendly wording turns a vague nudge into a concrete next step for the day.
Fresh quotes keep it interesting
A generated quote or affirmation each day avoids the staleness of a fixed text. You get something new to read, which keeps the habit from feeling like noise. Variety is a quiet way of keeping a long-running routine from turning into background noise.
Groups can share routines
Send the message to a family chat or a team group and everybody sees the same reminder. That helps with shared tasks like taking out the bins or a weekly stand-up.
Setup is simple and stays running
You do not need a new app or a calendar integration. The message arrives every day without you maintaining anything. A routine that needs no upkeep is one you are more likely to keep for months.

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 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.

def tg(method, **params):
    r = http.post(f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{credentials.secret('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN')}/{method}", json=params)
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()["result"]

FAQ

Common questions

Can I schedule several reminders at different times?

Yes. Each reminder has its own time and text, for example vitamins at 8:00 and stretch at 15:00. List them for your assistant and approve the schedule before the first run. Each one can go to a different chat.

Can the message change on weekdays versus weekends?

Yes. The schedule can run on selected days and use different text for each. A workday reminder can differ from a Saturday one, or skip Sundays entirely if you prefer. Quiet days are simply left out.

How do I find the chat ID it sends to?

You message your bot once, and ClickRuntime stores the chat ID from that message. For a group, add the bot to it and send a message there. No technical lookup is needed on your side.

What permissions does it need?

bot token; user has started the bot. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No, but you can ask for an AI step (for example a summary). It then uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run each time it runs (on a schedule). 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.
