# Sending Notes

> Send a finished note to Notion, copy it to your clipboard, or share it as a link

Once a note is processed, the **Send** button on the note toolbar puts your most common destinations one tap away. The paperplane icon means "send this somewhere."

## What Send does

Tap **Send** on any open note to choose:

* **Notion.** Push the note to a database in your Notion workspace. See the [Notion guide](/user-guides/integrations/notion/overview).
* **Copy as Markdown.** Headers, lists, and emphasis preserved. Best for Notion, GitHub, Obsidian, anything markdown-aware.
* **Copy as Plain Text.** Clean text, no formatting. Drops into any app.
* **Copy Transcript.** The raw transcript only, no summary or formatting.
* **Create Shareable Link.** Generate a web link anyone can open in a browser. See [Shareable Links](/user-guides/shareable-links).
* **Share Sheet.** The system share sheet for Messages, Mail, AirDrop, and any other app.

## Send vs. the ••• menu

The **Send** button is for getting a note **out** of Cleft.

The ellipsis (`•••`) menu next to the Send button is for actions you take **on** the note inside Cleft. That's where you'll find:

* **Pin to Widget**
* **Archive**
* **Continue** (append more audio)
* **Rewrite** (regenerate the summary)
* **Duplicate**, **Merge**, **Delete**

For the full list, see [Note Actions](/user-guides/managing-voice-notes).

## Notion shortcuts

If you send most of your notes to Notion, two settings make Send instant.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Auto-send (Plus)">
    Pick a Notion database in **Settings → Integrations → Notion** and turn on **Auto-send to Notion**. Every finished recording lands in that database with no extra tap.

    With auto-send configured, tapping **Send → Notion** on a note also fires straight to that same database, no picker. Disable auto-send if you want the picker back.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Archive after Send (Plus)">
    Turn on **Archive after Send** in **Settings → Integrations → Notion** to move a note to your Archived filter the moment a manual Send to Notion succeeds. Useful as an "I'm done with this one" gesture. Off by default. The local note is always recoverable from the Archived filter.

    Archive after Send is for manual Send only. Auto-send leaves your local notes in place by design.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Mac

* **`⌥P`.** Send the current note to Notion. With auto-send configured, fires to your default database. Without it, opens the database picker.
* **Right-click a note** in the list to get Send options from the context menu.

<Note>
  A long-press default-destination shortcut is on the v1.13.1 roadmap. Not in v1.13.0.
