Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday at 9, pull last week's Business Profile views, calls and direction requests and the new reviews, summarise them in a few lines and post to #marketing.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
Business Profile results usually live in one person's login. The rest of the team never sees how many people called or asked for directions, or what new reviews said, so successes go unnoticed and problems are spotted late.
Local business owners, multi-location managers and marketing agencies use it to give everyone the same weekly picture without opening a dashboard.
What you get out of it
Everyone sees the same numbers
A weekly post in Slack makes profile results part of the team's routine, not a private report.
Reviews and numbers together
Calls and views next to what customers said give a fuller picture of the week.
A summary, not a spreadsheet
A few plain sentences point out what moved and why it might matter.
Nothing to remember
It arrives every Monday without anyone pulling the figures.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every Monday, ClickRuntime asks Google for last week's profile numbers and the reviews left in that week.
It adds up calls, views, website clicks and direction requests, and averages the new ratings.
AI writes a short summary of the week.
The numbers and summary are posted to your Slack channel.
Before it runs live
- Connect Google Business Profile
- Connect Slack, then invite the app to the channel (type /invite @ClickRuntime there)
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 Google Sheets
- Combine it with other Google Business Profile and Slack steps into one automation
