# Write Clipboard

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Use _Write Clipboard_ to copy a piece of text to the clipboard. This will replace the content s of
the clipboard with the text. This is similar to the copy function, `<Ctrl>`+`<C>`, used in a text
editor to copy a selected piece of text, but in this case a value from the _Workflow_ is used for
the clipboard instead of selected text. You can either enter the text used by _Write Clipboard_
yourself, or use the value of a variable.

## Properties

_Write Clipboard_ has no special properties.

Other Properties that are the same in all action steps are described in the section on **Common
Properties**.

## Inbound Variables

**Clipboard Text** Enter the text that should be copied to the clipboard when this action step is
executed. You can also transfer the content of a _Workflow_ variable to the clipboard. To do so,
click on the pin and select one of the available variables.

## Outbound Variables

**Write Clipboard** The _Write Clipboard.ClipboardText_ variable provides the text to be written to
the clipboard.

## Example

_Write Clipboard_ can be useful in transactions and robotic applications when it is necessary to
enter text quickly. This might be necessary, for example, when an article description or a password
has to be entered automatically into a field. Another use for this function might be to transfer
data (text) from application 'A' to GUI 'B'.
