Workly lets you create text snippets — formatted text files that you can share in chat. Snippets are perfect for sharing code, configuration files, notes, or any long-form text that would be messy as a regular message.
Create a snippet
- In the chat input, click the snippet icon
- Enter a title for the snippet
- Choose a file type:
- txt — Plain text
- js — JavaScript
- py — Python
- html — HTML
- css — CSS
- json — JSON
- And many more
- Write or paste the content
- Click Create
The snippet appears in chat as a formatted file attachment. The title is auto-generated from the first line if you don’t specify one.
View snippets
Click on a shared snippet to open it and view the full content. The content is displayed with proper formatting based on the file type.
Download snippets
Each snippet can be downloaded as a file (e.g. my-snippet.js). Click the download button to save it to your computer.
Auto-detection
When you paste multi-line content into the chat input, Workly offers to create a snippet automatically. This keeps the chat clean while preserving the full text as a downloadable file.
