Set a clipboard value in RunMacro

What it does

The Set Clipboard command puts a value into the clipboard — either fixed (including from a variable) or by prompting the user at runtime. Then use Paste from Clipboard to fill a field.

When to use it

  • Prepare content once to paste multiple times in a workflow.
  • Ask the user for a value (e.g. an OTP) then use it.
  • Move a variable value into the clipboard to paste.

Configuration steps

  1. Add a Keyboard › Set Clipboard command.
  2. Choose a mode: enter a fixed value (variables allowed), or enable Prompt the user and write the question.
  3. Save. Then use Paste from Clipboard to fill a field.

Every option explained

Value

The content to place in the clipboard. Supports variables (e.g. {otp_code}).

Prompt the user

When on, a dialog appears at runtime for the user to type; the entered value goes to the clipboard.

Prompt text

The message shown in the user prompt dialog.

Real example

Example: ask for an OTP then fill it

  1. Set Clipboard, enable Prompt the user, question "Enter OTP".
  2. Click the OTP field.
  3. Paste from Clipboard to fill the code the user typed.

Tips & common mistakes

The prompt mode runs in Desktop Mode only; in Browser Mode use a fixed value/variable.
