Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday, email me my 20 most viewed pages last week and the 10 that grew most compared with the week before.

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 blog editor wants to know which posts deserve an update, but Google Analytics only answers that after navigating to the pages report, setting two date ranges and sorting by change. She has been meaning to do it for months. Meanwhile a post that doubled in views last week sits stale with an out-of-date screenshot, and a great opportunity to capture that interest goes unused. A reader skims the same stale advice.

Each week, ClickRuntime pulls page views by page path for the last two weeks, ranks pages by total views and by growth, and emails both lists. You see your biggest pages and the ones climbing fastest, which tells you where fresh attention would pay off.

Documentation teams and ecommerce category managers use the same view to watch what customers read.

What you get out of it

Updates go where interest is rising
A page whose views doubled deserves a refresh now, while the traffic is there. Improving the call to action on a rising post often converts more of it into subscribers or sales.
Content planning based on evidence
Seeing what readers actually viewed beats guessing. Editors can commission a follow-up to a rising article, or a deeper guide on a topic that keeps appearing in the top list.
Stale top pages get noticed
Your most-viewed pages carry most of your traffic, so errors there are costly. A weekly look reminds you to fix broken links and old prices on pages that many people see.
Early signs of a viral or press hit
Fast climbers often reflect a mention somewhere. Spotting it in a few days lets you add internal links and a signup form while the wave is still moving. A few days of lead time makes a real difference to how much of it you capture.
Pruning decisions get easier
Pages that never reach the top or the growth list are candidates for merging or removal. Over time the site gets tighter, which helps readers and search engines. Fewer, stronger pages are easier to maintain and tend to rank better than a pile of thin ones.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every week, ClickRuntime pulls page views for each page on your site from Google Analytics, for this week and the week before.
It ranks the ten most viewed pages and the five that gained the most views since last week.
You get one email with both lists, showing the views or the gain next to each 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

Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Google Analytics 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.

top_pages_report.pyexample

from clickruntime import on_trigger, credentials, http, notify

PROPERTY = "123456789"

@on_trigger
def run(event):
    rows = http.post(f"https://analyticsdata.googleapis.com/v1beta/properties/{PROPERTY}:runReport",

        json={"dateRanges": [{"startDate": "7daysAgo", "endDate": "yesterday", "name": "this"},

        views.setdefault(page, {"this": 0, "last": 0})[rng] = int(r["metricValues"][0]["value"])
    top = sorted(views.items(), key=lambda kv: -kv[1]["this"])[:10]
    growth = sorted(views.items(), key=lambda kv: -(kv[1]["this"] - kv[1]["last"]))[:5]
    text = "Most viewed:\n" + "\n".join(f"{v['this']:>7,}  {p}" for p, v in top)
    text += "\n\nFastest growing:\n" + "\n".join(f"{v['this'] - v['last']:>+7,}  {p}" for p, v in growth)

    return {"pages": len(views)}

FAQ

Common questions

How are pages ranked for growth?

Pages are compared by views in the latest week against the week before, and the list sorts by the change. A minimum views threshold keeps tiny pages from topping the list on small swings, so a jump from 2 to 6 views does not count.

Does the report include the page title or just the path?

It can show both. GA4 reports page path and page title together, and including the title makes the email easier to read for people who do not recognize URLs. Each row can also link straight to the page.

Can I exclude pages like the homepage or checkout?

Yes. Filtering out the homepage, login or cart paths is common, since they always dominate the ranking. Excluding them lets the report highlight content pages that you can actually improve. Adding exclusions takes a single instruction, and the list can then be extended later.

What permissions does it need?

analytics.readonly. 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 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.
