Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Monday at 8am, email me my 5 best Pinterest Pins from last week by saves and outbound clicks, and suggest 3 new Pin ideas based on them.

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

Pinterest gives creators plenty of numbers: impressions, saves, outbound clicks. But turning those into a decision about what to post next is hard, and most people never open analytics at all. They keep making the same kind of Pin, unaware that a certain style gets five times the saves of the rest, or that a topic is quietly rising.

Once a week, your account analytics and top-performing Pins are pulled from Pinterest. ClickRuntime's built-in AI reads those numbers and writes a short set of ideas for what to post next, grounded in what actually performed. The result is one email with the top Pins and the suggestions, no extra AI key needed.

It suits solo creators and small brands who want direction rather than a dashboard. Anyone who posts weekly and wants direction will find it practical.

What you get out of it

Know what is actually working
Seeing your best Pins each week shows which styles and topics earn saves and clicks. You stop guessing and repeat what the audience has shown it likes. Over a few weeks, your strongest formats become obvious without any spreadsheet work.
Ideas based on your own data
The suggestions come from your top Pins, not generic advice. A shop whose recipe Pins outperform product shots is told to make more recipe content. A bakery gets baking ideas, and a design studio gets design ones, because the advice follows the data.
Saves the time of reading analytics
The email condenses a dashboard into a few lines and some next steps. You can act on it over coffee instead of exploring charts for an hour. Reading takes minutes, so the habit of checking analytics actually survives busy weeks.
A steady content rhythm
A weekly prompt for what to publish removes the blank-page problem. You always have a few concrete ideas ready for the coming week. That removes the stall that comes from wondering what to make next.
Notice trends before they peak
If a topic starts climbing across several weeks, the email shows it. Early attention lets you publish more on it before competing creators crowd in. Early action on a rising topic often earns more reach than copying it later.

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 Pinterest 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 numbers does the email use?

It uses your account analytics, such as impressions, saves and outbound clicks, together with your top Pins for the period. The AI writes its suggestions from those figures rather than from outside trends. Very new accounts may show fewer figures.

Do I need an OpenAI or similar key?

No. The AI step uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI, so there is nothing to set up or pay for separately. Your Pinterest connection is the only credential involved in the process. That also keeps costs simple.

Will the suggestions be generic?

They are shaped by your own top Pins, so they tend to name your formats and topics. If a suggestion is too broad, you can instruct your AI assistant to make the prompt more specific to your niche.

What permissions does it need?

user_accounts:read, pins: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 (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.
