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

Follower counts on Twitch move slowly enough that growth is easy to miss day to day, and a streamer who checks the number every time can lose the bigger picture. Did last week's collaboration help, or did the channel stall? Without a steady reading, creators and the managers who work with them make choices about schedule, games and promotion based on mood.

Every Monday, this reads your channel's follower total, compares it with the total it stored the week before and emails you the change. You see whether the channel gained, held or lost followers, with the new total alongside it.

It is a lightweight scoreboard for streamers who want a regular, honest number. It takes a minute to read, and the trend builds up in your inbox. Add a few lines about your stream schedule if you like.

What you get out of it

Growth you can actually see
A weekly figure turns a slow-moving count into a trend. Gaining fifty followers in a week is easy to miss on a channel page, but obvious in a short email. It also shows the true size of your best weeks.
Tests what you tried
If you changed your schedule or streamed a new game, the next report shows whether growth changed. Over a few weeks you learn which experiments are worth repeating and which to drop.
Reveals losses as well as gains
A negative week is shown plainly, so a drop after an off-topic stream does not slip by unnoticed. Knowing the cost of a change helps you protect the audience you built.
Useful for sponsors and managers
If a manager or sponsor asks how the channel is doing, you have weekly numbers to show. A saved run of emails is a believable record that you can share when negotiating.
Starts the week with a goal
A Monday email prompts a short check on targets, such as reaching a milestone by month end. It adds a little structure to a creative routine that is easily scattered.

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 Twitch 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.

from clickruntime import on_trigger, credentials, http, state, notify

BROADCASTER_ID = "your-broadcaster-id"

                             "Authorization": f"Bearer {credentials.connection('twitch', 'personal')}"})
    total = resp.json()["total"]

FAQ

Common questions

What will the very first Monday email contain?

Because there is no previous total stored on the first run, it shows the current follower count without a change. From the second week onward, you will see the difference compared with the week before.

Does it track subscribers or viewers too?

It is set up for followers, since that is the number every channel has. If you are a Partner or Affiliate, you can ask for subscriber counts to be added, and average viewership can be included if available.

Why might the number go down?

Followers can leave, and Twitch also removes accounts it identifies as spam or fake. A small negative week is normal, but a large drop after a stream may suggest the content missed what your audience wanted.

What permissions does it need?

moderator:read:followers. 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.
