Hello,

Is it possible to make a copy with the value from Appsheet? Only copy. No Paste needed.

I have a table which is named “ClientList”, and with a column [WechatMessage]. I want to copy the lastest [WechatMessage] when “ClientList” updated, then I will go to Wechat to paste the value mannelly. Like the icon below as everyone should know the function of that button.

If it is not possible to make that button, is it possible to use Apps Script to only copy the latest [WechatMessage] after updating “ClientList”?

I have no knowledge Apps Script. Can anyone help please? Thanks

AFAIK, no–at least not a button.

  • AppSheet doesn’t provide a ‘copy to clipboard’ action.
  • Apps Script runs on a server and likely has no access to a device’s clipboard.

Of course, a user can select text on the app screen and copy it.

Investigate whether there’s an API or other mechanism to send text from AppSheet directly to WeChat. I’ve looked for that in the past and not found much; please share here if you do find something.

@Thanks dbaum,

Sure I know select text and copy to clipboard. However we just looking for that practical “Copy to Clipboard” function to make Appsheet more accessible.
Hope that we can see that function in the near future. Thanks
