Auto-paste your clipboard with the CLIPBOARD variable

WordBoard keys are not limited to fixed text. Add the {{ CLIPBOARD }} variable to any key and it inserts whatever is currently on your clipboard at the moment you tap it. That means you can copy an address, an order number, or a link elsewhere, then tap a saved WordBoard key to auto-paste it straight into a template instead of pasting it manually and retyping the text around it.

This is useful for copy-and-paste-heavy workflows: paste a customer's order number into a support reply template, drop a copied link into a saved message format, or insert whatever you just copied into the same reusable phrase every time.
