How do I create a snippet?

How to create a snippet


  1. Head over to the Expand page
  2. Want to keep things organized? Create a snippet group to sort them however works best for you.
  3. Once your group's set up, click Create a snippet.


💡 Tip: In a hurry? You can also just click the + button right on the group's card.


  1. Now set your text and trigger:
  • Give it a title and a trigger
  • Type in the text you want to insert
  • Add in some time-saving actions (text fields, date fields, user data fields, or an optional section)


  1. Save and give it a spin: confirm your snippet, then try it out in a text field.


Edit or delete a snippet


  • Edit: Head to your snippet list and use the edit tab next to the snippet you want.
  • Delete: Use the delete button at the bottom of that same edit tab.


Using your snippets


  • Snippet with an action: Type your snippet trigger into a text field and a window pops up. Fill in the fields or confirm any optional sections, then hit confirm — your text drops in automatically, right where your trigger was.
  • Snippet without an action: Type your snippet trigger into a text field and the text swaps in automatically. No extra steps needed.
