Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: when I send a job posting to my trigger link, copy my master CV Google Doc, tailor it to the posting and save it in my Applications folder.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
A product designer is applying for a dozen roles. Each posting stresses different things: one wants research, another design systems, a third leadership. Rewriting the summary and reordering bullet points for each application takes an hour, so most applications go out with the same generic CV.
This automation copies your master CV for every posting you send, rewrites the summary and highlights to match the role, and saves it in your Applications folder. Your master stays untouched and each application starts from a tailored draft.
What you get out of it
Applications that speak to the role
A CV that reflects the language and priorities of the posting is easier for a recruiter to match to the job.
Your master CV stays clean
Edits happen on a copy, so your full record of experience is never overwritten by a tailored version.
A folder of every version sent
Each tailored CV is saved with the company and role in its name, so you know exactly what you sent before an interview.
More applications in less time
Starting from a tailored draft turns an hour of rewriting into a few minutes of review.
How it works
What happens, step by step
ClickRuntime starts when you send a job posting to your trigger link.
It copies your master CV Google Doc into your Applications folder, named after the company and role.
AI rewrites the summary to match the posting, using only what is in your CV.
The tailored copy is saved in Drive, ready for you to review.
Before it runs live
- Connect Google Docs
- Connect Google Drive
- Paste your automation's link into the other app's webhook settings
What you get
Build your own
Need it to work differently?
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 Google Docs and Google Drive steps into one automation
Under the hood
The code that runs this automation
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from clickruntime import on_event, credentials, ai

@on_event
def handle(event):
job = event.json or {}
creds = Credentials(credentials.connection("google", "work"))
docs = build("docs", "v1", credentials=creds, cache_discovery=False)
master = docs.documents().get(documentId=MASTER_CV_ID).execute()
cv_text = "".join(r.get("textRun", {}).get("content", "") for b in master["body"]["content"]
for r in b.get("paragraph", {}).get("elements", []))[:12000]
summary = ai.generate(f"Job posting:\n{job.get('posting', '')[:6000]}\n\nCV:\n{cv_text}",
system="Rewrite the CV's profile summary (max 80 words) for this role. Use only facts from the CV.",
max_output_tokens=300).text.strip()

body={"name": f"CV - {job.get('company', 'Company')} - {job.get('role', 'Role')}", "parents": [FOLDER_ID]}).execute()
docs.documents().batchUpdate(documentId=copy["id"], body={"requests": [
{"replaceAllText": {"containsText": {"text": "{{SUMMARY}}"}, "replaceText": summary}}]}).execute()
return {"doc": copy["webViewLink"]}FAQ
