Imprinter and Clipboard placeholder?

[NotDonneYet]

Hi there,

I’m trying to figure out how to include a clipboard placeholder in the Imprinter. I would like to include the confirmation # for paid statements.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

Placeholders can be inserted via the contextual menu’s Insert Placeholder submenu but automation should usually not depend on things like the clipboard as the results might be unexpected.

Thank you for your quick reply!

I am afraid I cannot find the clipboard placeholder in the contextual menu. As you suggest that automation ought not to depend on the clipboard, I’m wondering if there’s a way to have the imprinter ask me to insert the confirmation code?
