About the app
Meet Messages
Messages connects to ActionClip so you can send selected text without copying and pasting it manually.
Included actions
Choose only what you need
This integration adds one focused Messages action to ActionClip.
| Action | Outcome |

| Compose Message | Open a Messages composer containing selected text. |
Workflow
How it works
- Select the text you want to use.
- Choose your Messages action from ActionClip.
- ActionClip sends the selection to Messages and opens the app for you.
| Connection | Local app integration |
|---|---|
| Result | Opens or updates Messages |
| Configuration | Every action is enabled separately |
| Internet | Depends on how Messages is configured |
Before you add it
Requirements and privacy
- Before you start: Messages must be configured on this Mac.
- Your selected text: ActionClip passes the selected text only to this Apple app on your Mac. The Apple app controls any later iCloud sync or network use.
Nothing is sent until you click the action. ActionClip never runs this integration quietly in the background.
