We often need to copy emails into other tools. Whether it’s pasting into Notion for reference, sharing in Slack, adding to a task manager, or feeding context to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity.
In Gmail, this is tedious. You have to carefully select the text, hope you don’t miss anything, and often end up with broken formatting or missing images.
With Simplehuman’s new Instant Copy feature, it’s now effortless.
How it works
Copy a single email: Press Cmd+C on Mac (Ctrl+C on Windows) without selecting any text. The email you’re viewing gets copied to your clipboard instantly, complete with formatting, images, and links.
Copy an entire conversation: Press Cmd+C again within a couple of seconds. The full email thread gets copied, with each message clearly separated and the subject line at the top.
Then just paste wherever you need it.
Where this helps
- AI assistants: Give ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity the full context of an email conversation to help draft responses, summarize threads, or extract next steps
- Notes and documents: Paste emails into Notion, Google Docs, or Apple Notes for easy reference
- Team communication: Share email content directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams
- Task managers: Copy action items from emails into Todoist, Asana, or Linear
- CRM and sales tools: Quickly log email interactions in Pipedrive, HubSpot, or Salesforce
No selecting. No dragging. No reformatting after you paste.
