Capture the text you selected in the browser
When you have selected the passage you need, send a request to capture it for a follow-up task.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Copy Selected Text
Copy the currently selected text in a browser session to the clipboard.
Why this helps
Selected text can disappear from view when switching away to take notes or start another task.
- Capture text already selected in the session.
- Keep a passage connected to the task that needs it.
- Avoid reselecting content after a context switch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agentql and Anchor browser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: Copy the currently selected text from the specified browser session and return it in the report.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real session that has text selected.
Questions about this workflow
Does this select the text for me?
No. The text must already be selected in the browser session.
How is this different from clipboard retrieval?
This action copies currently selected text, while clipboard retrieval reads what is already on the clipboard.
