Quick-start

Connect Text to the next block that should use the clipboard value.
Run the flow when it’s ready.

Building block parameters

Parameters

Block header: Shows the current title of the block. You can rename it by double-clicking the header text and typing a new title. This block has no green input or output connectors in the header because it is not explicitly executed. Instead, it retrieves the clipboard value and delivers it to other blocks.
Text: Outputs the current text value of the clipboard.
