Clipboard Write
Clipboard Write
Section titled “Clipboard Write”Write text to the system clipboard so it is ready to paste elsewhere.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Copies a piece of text — a workflow result, a formatted value, an extracted snippet — onto the system clipboard. This node only ever writes; it never reads the clipboard. (Reading the clipboard exposes whatever the user last copied, which can include a password or a one-time code, so clipboard reading is a separate, permission-gated node.)
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”- Put a generated value (a summary, a link, a token you just minted) on the clipboard so the user can paste it straight away.
- Hand a result off to another application by way of the clipboard.
Inputs and settings
Section titled “Inputs and settings”| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Text | The text to place on the clipboard. |
Outputs
Section titled “Outputs”written—trueonce the text has been written.
Dependencies and credentials
Section titled “Dependencies and credentials”- No credential is required.
- Writing to the clipboard needs no special permission.
Example workflow
Section titled “Example workflow”Extract a value from the page with Get All Text or shape one with Edit Fields, then pass it to Clipboard Write so it is ready to paste.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Clipboard writes happen on the active tab. If the tab is not focused, the browser may block the write and the node reports a clear error — bring the tab into focus and rerun.
- This node writes text only. Writing images is a planned follow-up.
