Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 10, find the top trending topic in my niche from my chosen feeds, write a Facebook post and an X post about it, and publish both.

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 travel agency wants to be part of the conversation when something big happens in travel, such as a new route or a rule change, but by the time anyone writes a post the moment has passed.

Each morning the most-discussed travel story from the agency's chosen feeds becomes a short post on Facebook and X, so followers hear about it from the agency while it's still news.

What you get out of it

Timely posts
Posting while a topic is hot gets far more attention than posting a week later.
Positions you as the expert
Followers learn to look to you for news in your field.
Two networks, one step
Facebook and X both get a version that fits.
Sources you choose
Only feeds you trust are used, so posts stay on topic.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every morning, ClickRuntime reads your chosen news feeds.
It picks the top story from the last day, skipping subjects you've ruled out.
AI writes a Facebook post and a short X post about it, with the source link.
Both are published to your Facebook Page and X account.

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 X 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

Where do trends come from?

From the news feeds, blogs or forums you name. The top story from the last day that hasn't been used is picked.

Can it avoid certain subjects?

Yes. List subjects to skip in the prompt, such as politics or accidents, and stories about them are passed over.

Does it link to the source?

Yes. Each post includes a link to the original story.

What permissions does it need?

pages_manage_posts; tweet.write. 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.
