Inserting Text Info from a Site using a Different Browser tab that I am typing in

[anon87081067]

I have figured out how to insert text content from a web page in a snippet, however is it possible for it to pull content from another tab I have open?

Example- we communicate with clients using ZenDesk and TextLine and will confirm appointments with them on those platforms/websites, however the information we need to pull is on another web page. How would I set this up so it knows which page to pull it from (instead of it defaulting to the tab I am typing in)? Our last text expansion app was able to do this, but I can't quite figure it out here.

Hi @anon87081067 , thanks for your detailed example. It is not currently not possible to do this in Text Blaze automatically.

For a workaround, you can copy text from one website, and then use {clipboard} command when using the snippet in another page to get those details. Here is an example given by Cedric in the context of Google Sheets:

Extract and display row from google sheet

Ok, let me give you a more specific example. Imagine you have a row with 5 cells (as you mentioned). Here's what that would look like: [image] If you were to copy those five cells into your clipboard, and then use the {clipboard} command in a snippet, it would give you this: [image] Although it looks like the cell contents are separated by a space, they are actually being separated by a tab. I'm going to reproduce that same string of text below, and put it inside the variable named "cont…

If you have the data in an Airtable we have more specific snippets:

Copy of Snippet "Airtable data extracter"

UPDATE: Check out our new lightweight spreadsheet "Data Blaze". You can easily write to and read data from Data Blaze into your existing snippets. We support one-click import of Airtable data into Data Blaze. Check out this guide to get started. Fetch data from multiple Airtable tables This snippet fetches specific data from a single record in an Airtable base. You can build other snippets that, for example, fetch the same column data from multiple records (using a for loop). Theoretically, …

Let us know if your data is not in the form of Google Sheets/Airtable and we can come up with more concrete solutions. Thanks!
