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

On Friday afternoon, a team lead has to tell leadership what the team got done. The honest answer is scattered across forty completed tasks in six projects. Writing a good summary means reading each one, recalling why it mattered and grouping it. Most leads either skip it or send a thin list of task names that makes a productive week look like nothing happened.

Every Friday, ClickRuntime fetches the tasks completed over the past week, calls on ClickRuntime's built-in AI to organize them into a readable summary grouped by project with the main outcomes highlighted, and emails it to you. You get a draft status update that can be sent as it is or edited in a minute.

It suits team leads, project managers and agency owners who report weekly to clients or executives.

What you get out of it

Weekly updates actually get sent
A ready draft removes the biggest obstacle, which is starting. Updates that used to be skipped on busy Fridays now go out, keeping stakeholders informed and reducing ad hoc questions.
Work is described by outcome, not task title
The summary groups tasks into what was achieved, such as finished onboarding flow and fixed billing bugs. Leaders read results instead of a list of ticket names. Executives skim outcomes, not task identifiers, so the message lands where it should.
The team's effort gets credit
A complete weekly picture ensures smaller tasks are not forgotten. People see their contributions recognized, which matters for morale and for performance conversations later. Quiet contributors get named alongside the visible ones.
Clients see steady progress
Agencies can forward a version to clients every week. Regular updates build confidence and reduce the nervous check-in calls that come when a client has not heard anything. Weekly rhythm keeps relationships warm without extra effort from your account managers.
You save the Friday hour
What used to take an hour of reading and writing becomes a few minutes of review. That time goes back to planning next week, or to finishing early on a Friday.

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 Teamwork.com 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 tasks are included in the report?

Tasks marked complete in Teamwork within the last seven days, across the projects the connection can access. You can restrict it to specific projects or people if the report is for one client or team.

Can the AI summary be written for a client rather than internally?

Yes. Tell your assistant the audience and tone, for example polished and non-technical for a client, and the instruction is updated. You can also keep an internal version that is more candid than the client one.

Does it include time logged against tasks?

If you want hours, Teamwork's time entries can be fetched alongside the tasks and added to the summary. It is not part of the basic report, so mention it to your assistant and approve the extended version.

What permissions does it need?

read. 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 (on a schedule). 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.
