## Key features

- **Snippets and shortcuts:** Save any text as a snippet and give it a shortcut such as /ty; typing the shortcut inserts the text. Rich formatting is on every plan, tables and images from Pro.
- **Forms and dynamic commands:** Snippets can ask for values in form fields, run formulas, show different text by rule and insert shifted dates. Forms, formulas and rules need Pro; Free can test form fields.
- **Autopilot:** A snippet can click elements on a page and simulate key presses such as Tab, to carry out steps of an in-page workflow. It is included on every plan.
- **Shared folders:** A folder of snippets can be shared with owner, editor and viewer roles, and edits reach everyone who has it. Sharing is limited on Free and unlimited on Business.
- **Data Blaze tables:** Data Blaze is a companion spreadsheet and database app. From Pro, snippets can read and update its tables; row limits run from 10,000 per space on Free to 250,000 on Business.
- **Team management and reporting:** Business adds user roles, teams, organization-wide default folders, comment threads and usage analytics. Enterprise adds SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs.

## Good for

- People who type the same replies all day in Gmail, LinkedIn or a CRM in Chrome
- Support, sales and recruiting teams that share a library of standard messages
- Templates that need form fields, calculations or if/then logic

## Worth knowing

- The plans page says only that Free has limited snippets; a 2024 staff post on the vendor's forum put the cap at 20 active snippets.
- Tables, images, formulas, conditional rules and full form fields need Pro or a higher plan.
- Desktop apps exist only for Windows and macOS. There are no mobile apps, and Safari and Firefox users are pointed to the desktop apps.
- SAML SSO, SCIM and event audit logs are limited to the Enterprise plan, which is priced on request.
