Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every morning at 7am, look at today's top posts in r/fitness and r/running, and email me three social post drafts based on what people are talking about.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
Coaches, creators and small brands want their social posts to feel current, but keeping up with what their audience is talking about takes time. Reddit's daily top posts show it clearly, if you have time to read them.
An email with today's topics and a ready draft for each gives you something timely to post in minutes. You choose what to use, edit it in your voice and post it.
What you get out of it
Timely posts, fast
Drafts are based on what people are discussing today, so your posts feel current.
Start from a draft
Each topic comes with a draft post, so you edit rather than write from scratch.
Stay close to your audience
Reading the topic list each morning keeps you aware of what your niche cares about.
Fits your morning routine
Everything arrives in one email before your day starts.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every morning ClickRuntime reads today's top posts from the subreddits you chose.
AI picks the three most interesting topics and writes a social post draft for each.
The topics, drafts and thread links are emailed to you from your Gmail.
Before it runs live
- Connect Google through your own Google app (a one-time, 10-minute setup), so it works with your own Gmail
- Connect Reddit
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
- 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 Gmail and Reddit steps into one automation
