💡 Pro Tips
Skip the notes prompt: Delete Action 2 if you don't want to be asked for notes every time
Works everywhere: Use this in Safari, News, Twitter, or any app with a Share button
Fast saving: The shortcut runs in the background - no need to wait
Content extraction: Clipper will automatically extract article content when you view the clip
🔧 Advanced: Full Content Extraction
Want to extract article content right away instead of just saving the URL?
Add this action before Action 3:
Alternative Action 3a: Get Article
Search for and add: "Get Contents of URL"
URL: Shortcut Input (from Action 1)
This fetches the page HTML
Then in the main Action 3 (API call), add to JSON:
html = Contents of URL (from Action 3a)
This sends the full page HTML to Clipper for better extraction
