Retrieving Clipboard history elements

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I use Get Clipboard Text often enough and profitability. Then I found, on the user side, that I needed, in Windows, to turn on Clipboard History. I've looked though PA help but it's not clear to me that there provisions for retrieving the various elements from Clipboard History? Otoh, maybe I need to use Capture, WinKey-V, then capture the actions to get to each?

Is everything copied to the clipboard as part of your flow?

If so, I would just Get contents from clipboard to %ClipboardContent% and then Set variables to %ClipboardContent% throughout your flow.

Then you can reference this content later. You might be able to find some hotkeys and do it that way, but I think you would be much safer saving the content to variables as you go.

Yes, nothing yet in PAD to get the entire history. Trying with Win V will be an option for you now.

Good idea. I'll try it out. When I have the chance since my main task is not Power Automate.
