Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday at 9am, email me a table of sends, opens, clicks and unsubscribes for each Iterable campaign that ran last week.

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 marketing director meets with the team every Monday, and the first question is how last week's email campaigns performed. Getting the answer means logging in to Iterable, opening each campaign, copying opens, clicks and unsubscribes into a spreadsheet, and trying to remember how the numbers compared with the week before. By the time the table is ready, the meeting is over and the decisions about subject lines and send times are made without it.

Each week, ClickRuntime lists your Iterable campaigns, fetches the metrics for those that ran in the last seven days, and emails you a single summary. You open one message and see how every campaign did, ready for the meeting.

It suits email marketers and heads of growth who report on campaigns weekly, and agencies who run lifecycle email for several brands.

What you get out of it

The meeting starts with the data
When the summary is in your inbox before the Monday meeting, the discussion can be about what to do next. Time that used to be spent assembling numbers goes toward deciding what to test.
Campaigns are compared on equal terms
A fixed reporting week means each campaign is measured over the same period. Comparing a promotional blast with a lifecycle series is fairer when both are viewed the same way, side by side.
Weak performers are noticed quickly
A campaign with a falling click rate or rising unsubscribes shows up in the weekly table. You can adjust the subject line, audience or cadence the following week, instead of discovering the problem at the end of the quarter.
Stakeholders stay informed
Executives and sales leaders who want the headline results can be added to the email. They see the facts directly, which reduces ad hoc requests for numbers throughout the week.
A weekly archive builds a history
Each message is a snapshot of campaign results for that week. After a few months you can look back through them to see seasonal patterns without needing to run old reports.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Once a week, ClickRuntime gets your Iterable campaigns that started in the last 7 days.
For each campaign it fetches the totals for emails sent, opens, clicks and unsubscribes.
You get one email with a line per campaign. If none ran, the email says so.

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 Iterable 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 metrics are included for each campaign?

The summary uses the metrics Iterable reports for each campaign, such as sends, delivered, opens, clicks and unsubscribes. If your team focuses on conversions or revenue and that data is available through Iterable, ask for it to be added to each row.

Does it cover triggered and journey campaigns too?

It lists the campaigns that Iterable returns through its campaigns endpoint, which includes both blast and triggered campaigns. Metrics for journey steps can differ, so say if you want specific journeys covered and how they should be grouped.

Why do some opens look higher than expected?

Email opens are measured with a tracking pixel, and some mail apps load images automatically, which inflates the count. Treat opens as a rough signal and give more weight to clicks and conversions when judging how well a campaign did.

What permissions does it need?

server-side key (read). 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.
