Send this to your assistant

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 ceramics studio posts on Instagram and Facebook but keeps running out of ideas, and isn't sure what kind of content their audience responds to. Scrolling hashtags for inspiration eats an hour and usually ends in distraction.

Every Monday Telegram brings five concrete ideas drawn from the posts doing best on the studio's hashtags this week, so planning the week's content takes minutes instead of an evening.

What you get out of it

Never start from a blank page
Five ideas each week give you a head start on planning.
Based on what's working now
Ideas come from posts getting real engagement this week.
No endless scrolling
You get the useful part without opening Instagram.
Ideas for your style
Suggestions are adapted to your business, not copied.

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 Facebook Pages and 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.

FAQ

Common questions

Which hashtags does it look at?

The ones you list in the prompt, such as #ceramics or #handmadepottery. Up to a handful works best.

Does it copy other people's posts?

No. It looks at themes and formats that perform well and suggests your own take on them.

Does it need an Instagram business account?

Yes. Hashtag search is only available to Instagram business or creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page.

What permissions does it need?

instagram_basic; bot token. 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 runs (daily). 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.
