Automatically log your macOS clipboard history to a Google Sheet. This workflow ensures you never lose an important copied item again, providing a searchable archive of your text snippets.
About This Workflow
Introducing the macOS Clipboard Sync Agent, a powerful n8n workflow designed to seamlessly back up your clipboard activity. Every piece of text you copy on your Mac is automatically captured and stored in a dedicated Google Sheet, complete with a timestamp. This eliminates the stress of accidentally overwriting crucial information and provides a readily accessible history of your copied content. Ideal for researchers, writers, developers, or anyone who frequently works with text, this agent enhances your productivity by creating a reliable safety net for your copied data.
Key Features
- Automatic Clipboard Logging: Captures all copied text from your macOS clipboard.
- Timestamped Entries: Each copied item is automatically timestamped for easy tracking.
- Google Sheets Integration: Stores your clipboard history in a convenient and accessible Google Sheet.
- Customizable Logging: Easily modify the workflow to suit your specific needs.
How To Use
- Set up n8n: Ensure you have n8n installed and running.
- Configure Webhook: In the 'Clipboard Webhook' node, set the 'Path' to 'copy-paste' and ensure the 'HTTP Method' is POST. This node will receive your copied text.
- Format Data: The 'Data Formatter' node automatically extracts the copied text and generates a localized timestamp. No configuration is typically needed here.
- Connect to Google Sheets: In the 'Clipboard Logger Sheet' node, authenticate with your Google account (service account is recommended for automation). Configure the 'Sheet Name' and 'Document ID' to point to your desired Google Sheet. Ensure the 'Text' and 'Timestamp' columns are correctly mapped.
- Activate Workflow: Enable the workflow in n8n. Now, every time you copy text on your macOS, it will be logged in your specified Google Sheet.
